This
is the meat and potatoes of Maps: finding stuff. Of course, you can
search for a specific address, but what you might not realize is that
the Maps app can also handle a whole slew of other requests, including
landmark and business names.
1. Find a Place
On the Start screen, flick left to the Apps list or tap the arrow.
Tap Maps.
Tap Search.
Tap the search box, and type any of the following:
An address (for example, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA)
A ZIP code (for example, 21230)
A city or town (for example, Erie, PA)
A business name or type (for example, McDonalds or sushi)
An intersection (for example, 42nd and Eliot)
A landmark (for example, the Golden Gate Bridge)
Tap Go.
Tap a black pushpin to learn more about a location or business.
Note:
Combine search keywords to narrow your results. For example, type pizza 98052 to see all the pizza places in the 98052 ZIP code.
Tip:
If you’re using your hands, you can search for an address or location by voice. Just tap the microphone icon in the search box.
