I wonder why Google, in spite of their worldwide domination on web chooses to remain blind to simple things that would make the user's life easier..Arrogance should I say!

I just moved to a new house, and want to change the address. The new house has a slightly long address, and I see that I am not able to enter more than 30 characters in each of the two rows. Why on earth is Google so dumb...

These petty things make it highly annoying!

PS: Can the title be edited to 'little space'.. :)

Universal form design is very difficult - but some designers really don't help themseleves. I see it far too often.

Many countries don't have 'states'. Post/ZIP code formats vary a heck of a lot. Telephone number formats are even more problematical.

I don't think they will have so much problem in letting us type up to say, 100 characters instead of the existing 30 characters..

What 'strategic analysis' got them to a mere 30 characters!

I remember an incident few years back,I had a client in small Town of Lebanon and his local courier company return him 3 times because my address did not have a street number and Courier company guy think No resident address can be without Street Number!
