I store addresses like that :PROPERTIES: :ADDRESS: street no, postal-code city, country :END: That way of formatting is supported by the vCard export and should work= fine=20 with the Map support (the only two features really supporting Addresses= =20 anyway). But it is not very flexible and there is no real way to add s= everal=20 addresses (usually space is used to separate several entries). Overall the org-contacts format is a bit limited and not consistently=20= designed. It could use some refactoring.
