qrencode - vcard format issues with address


Hi there,

I'm trying to generate a qrcode with qrencode. It kind of works, however, when I scan it with my tablet and try to view it on a map, a number of locations appear (including the right one). The problem is the "XXX house" in the address line. If I remove it, it locates our company on the map straight away. Unfortunately, the house specification is required. Any ideas?
Code:
BEGIN:VCARD
N:CompanyName
ADR:XXX House, 999 xxx Road, area, city, postcode
TEL:+4400000000000
URL:http://www.domain.com
EMAIL:xxx@domain.com
END:VCARD
Thank you.

This appears to work fairly well.

Code:
BEGIN:VCARD
N:CompanyName
ADR;TYPE=WORK:;;xxx House 999 xxx Road;Baytown;LA;30314;United States of America
LABEL;TYPE=WORK:xxx House\n999 xxx Road\nBaytown, LA 30314\nUnited States of America
TEL:+4400000000000
URL:http://www.domain.com
EMAIL:xxx@domain.com
END:VCARD
Of course you'll have to adjust the last part of the ADR for your area.
