When you select an address from the list of search results, you can choose to show it on the map,
add a crossroad or plan a route to that chosen location. To get an exact address you can add the
house number.
If you show the result on the map, you can use the pop-up menu to add the location to My Places. If
a route is already planned, you can add the location to your current route.
Note : The best search results are shown on the map. When you zoom in, the lower ranked search
results are gradually shown.
About ZIP codes
You can search using a ZIP code to get closer to the area in which you want to find an address or
POI.
When you search using a ZIP code, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole
town, or the towns and villages within that ZIP code area.
Note : If you search using a ZIP code you will not get a specific address in your results.
You do not have to use the state or province postal abbreviation or first change the state or
province because this is included in the ZIP code.
For example, a search for York in the whole map returns a long list of possible results. Adding a
space followed by the ZIP code narrows the results down to the York that you are looking for.
About mapcodes
In countries where roads and houses have no names or addresses, you can use a mapcode instead. A
mapcode represents a location.
