Remember the nav system has defined village and city areas, that don't always match up with what you might think the area is called. This is often a reflection of poorly understood boundries - ie: boundries clearly defined by the countries maps, but poorly understood by the people that live there.

New Zealand is a great example, - I live in what I call Mt Eden, but my mapping system puts me in Balmoral. The city council says my street is Mt Eden and the next street is Balmoral, my map system disagrees and says both are Balmoral.

So instead of searching for my street by village, I go up one or two heirarchal levels and search by City (all streets in all suburbs/villages shown) or by Country (all streets in all suburbs/villages, and in all cities shown)
