Finding a Location on the Map
207
ƒ Very Successful—The results list displays and, if there is one
excellent match, the map centers on that place. A MapTag displays if
the MapTags check box is selected. The only time a MapTag is not
placed is when you find and then go to a labeled area that has no
single map point associated with it (for example, a large park).
ƒ Successful—The results list displays. Scroll or browse through the list
of search results until you find the one you want to locate. To center
an item on the map, double-click it or select it and then click Go To. A
MapTag displays if the MapTags check box is selected.
Tip Single click an item in the results list to highlight it on the map
without adding a MapTag or centering it in the map view. For more
information on viewing results, see Tips on Viewing Search Results.
ƒ Not Successful—The Advanced dialog area displays. The program
makes its best guess about the type of search you were trying and
your search word(s) display in the upper-right text box. Click Search
to proceed. For more information, see Performing an Advanced
Search.
Notes
• Use a comma to separate city and state/country (Atlanta, Georgia; Montreal,
Canada), major point of interest and state (Mt Washington, NH), parts of an
address (444 E Pk Drive, Milford, CT or 444 E Pk Dr, 06460), or coordinate
points (N 43.8, W 70.2).
Tip You can find major landmarks or points of interest, such as Yellowstone
National Park and Mount Rushmore, without using the state as part of the
search criteria.
• Separate street intersections with an ampersand (Congress St & High St,
Portland, ME or Congress St & High St, 04101).
• Avoid entering a period in your text.
• Click the Search For down arrow to view a drop-down list of previously used
