try typing “Main St.” If your street name does not appear, select “Try Wider Search” to look for the
street in surrounding areas. Some streets are listed differently in different maps – for example,
“Route 25” might be listed at “Rt 25” or “US Route 25.” When in doubt, you should consult an online
map site to see how the street is officially listed.
5) Type the house number and tap GO when it is complete.
