Special note regarding GPS addresses.
Most GPS addresses are based on political sub-divisions, not post offices.
For example, West Point, NY exists as a post office on the grounds of the
Military Academy, but is not a town or village (political sub-division). Therefore,
for addresses in the area of West Point you may have to enter Highland Falls
as the city instead of West Point.
