The maps have very weird coverage in Israel. I tried putting an address in Tel Aviv (largest city in Israel), but it doesn't recognize any of the streets.
Some streets in a few other cities in Israel are recognized.

Also, can you please allow to write a free-form expression for the currency exchange? I'd like to exchange BTC for the local currency ILS, and it's not one of the top currencies listed (I did write it in the description, but the title still shows USD)

I'm so sorry.  This is very strange. Our maps are based on the google maps API.  Do you see the same issue if you go to google maps?

Free-form currency expressions are difficult, we are also having currency pins designed specifically for each currency for example.  However, I will simply add ILS as soon as I can to address the missing currency issue.  Can you point me to an accurate example of the currency symbol?

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of information that is really helpful!


See this article for the currency symbol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shekel_sign, thanks for adding it!

We do have excellent coverage of Israel and Tel Aviv on Google maps, not sure why it doesn't show on your API calls. I'll try to find this out.
