The Link to MapQuest feature

The Link to MapQuest feature does not support addresses outside North America well yet. This will be in an upcoming release. The directions api, however, handles them just fine.

I know the address is correct, it's in UK.

Is it possible that this address is not in the map?

?q=1st street Jacksonville FL 32224 US

- Can we use the same format for UK addresses?

thanks
Fernando

This is the proper format,

This is the proper format, but the MapQuest.com site is not handling locations outside the US/Canada well yet.
