Finding Highway Exits with Locate Highway Exit
The MapMarker Locate Highway Exit feature allows you to locate a highway exit using the highway
name, exit number, and state. You must enter a highway name, an exit number or exit name, and a
state in order for the search to return a result. Search results include the highway name, full exit
name, city, state, ZIP Code™, and X and Y coordinates for the exit.
You can select a search result and click Map to view the candidate’s location on a map to determine
which candidate is the exact one you are looking for.
