If I remember correctly, in Entourage X, the street map site was Expedia. It
often could not find a particular street address for me, so I had to use
MapQuest or Yahoo Maps.

Now, in Entourage 2004, the street map site has changed to MSN. I just chose
the "Show on Map" function, and again, it can't find some street addresses.
Both MapQuest and Yahoo Maps found it, but MSN couldn't.

Example: 83-15 Queens Blvd, Elmhurst, NY.

I tried with vs. without the hyphen, abbreviating vs. spelling out
'boulevard,' and no matter what, MSN couldn't find it while the other two
did.

Is there any way to change the street map lookup site? (The failure rate is
*not* 100%, though, and I do like MSN's largest map size which the other
lookup sites lack.)
