Page 527 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

You’re not always interested in finding out where you are; often, you want

to see where something else is. To search Maps, hit and then type into
the search box at top.

Here’s what Maps can find for you:

An address. You can skip the periods (and usually the commas,
too). And you can use abbreviations. Typing 710 w end ave nyc

will find 710 West End Avenue, New York, New York. (In this and
any of the other examples, you can type a zip code instead of a city
and a state.)

An intersection. Type 57th and lexington, ny ny. Maps will find
the spot where East 57th Street crosses Lexington Avenue in New
York City.

A city. Type chicago il to see that city. You can zoom in from
there.

A zip code or neighborhood. Type 10024 or greenwich village
nyc.

A point of interest. Type washington monument or niagara falls.

A commercial establishment. You can use Maps as a glorified
national Yellow Pages. If you type, for example, pharmacy 60609,
blue numbered dots show you all the drugstores in that Chicago zip
code. It’s a great way to find a gas station, a cash machine, or a

hospital in a pinch.

Select a listing to see a full dossier about that place.

Tip

You can tap or click either place. That is, you can tap a numbered circle to auto-scroll the info
column to the corresponding description, or you can tap a description to auto-scroll the map to the
corresponding numbered circle.
