Find a place on the map
You can search for any specific place on the map—such as a city, business or attraction, airport, or pushpin.
-
On the Tools menu, click Find, and then click the Place/Data tab.
-
In the place name box, type the name of the place you're looking for, such as Washington D.C. or Mount Rushmore.
To speed your search, type a comma after the place name, then add the city, state, or province—for example, Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA.
-
Click Find.
A list of place names with similar spellings appears in the results list, with the first place in the list selected and centered on the map.
-
In the results list, select the place you want.
Your selection appears on the map.
-
Click OK.
Note If the place you want to find has a unique name, you won't need to select it in the results list—it will automatically appear on the map.
Tip You can also find a place by using the Find box on the Advanced toolbar:
Type the place name, and then click the Find icon. If an exact match is found, it appears centered on the map. Otherwise, the Find dialog box opens with a list of possible matches.
