I don't know if this only a local problem or if it's part of the program, but for my stake I could not find addresses to the Stake House or other church buildings. I was heading for a fireside at the stake house (which I had driven to in the past) and needed to take Uber. They require an exact address. There was not a lot of time to call people, or whatever. I was certain I could go onto lds.tools and find the address - but that wasn't the case. The building address would seem to be an important bit of information, especially in certain cases, as in someone trying to be able to attend a meeting there.
If this is how the system is set up, I would like to see a consideration of changing it to include these addresses. If it's a local problem, perhaps your answer could help me get them to make changes. And, if I just didn't or couldn't see something that was there (which is entirely possible), please advise so that I will be competent in using the program. It's a great program. I appreciate having it.
Thanks for your consideration of my concern

Re: Addresses for church buildings
In the Android Member Tools app, if I open the event on the calendar, I see a location. If I tap the location, it opens in Google Maps. From there, I can select "directions" and then for mode "ride hailing" and I can select between Uber and Lyft.
I don't have those apps, but it appears I can navigate from a calendar event to hailing a ride just by clicking. No copy and paste needed.
There's also a "Meetinghouse" section to Member Tools. I found that function to be a bit fickle, but it did give me a street address.
But if it's not an event, I'd suggest going to http://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/ and getting the address there.
You posted in the Directory section, which is for the web page. If I select a ward and go to the map, I can click on the meetinghouse and it gives me the full address.

Re: Addresses for church buildings
The meetinghouses menu in tools shows the address and meeting times.... But you have to pan the map and then tap a building icon. The address then will show at the bottom.
It does not tell you which building is the 'Stake' Center.
