6.3.1.2 Selecting a street or the centre of the settlement
Once the settlement (or state in Australia) is selected, you can continue by specifying
the street you are looking for.
Selecting the centre of the settlement
If you wish to navigate to the settlement displayed in the top centre of the screen, just
tap Done before entering any letters. The search result will be the centre point of the
city (where its name is displayed on the map).
Note: This point is not the geometrical centre but an arbitrarily selected point chosen
by the creators of the map, usually the most important intersection in case of a small
town or village, and for larger cities an important intersection in the city centre.
Selecting a street
If you are looking for an address or an intersection within the selected settlement
(shown at the top of the page), you need to first enter the street name you are
looking for.
Tip: If you are looking for an intersection, choose the street that has a rare or unusual
name first. This way you need to enter fewer letters to get the list of results. You may
also choose the shorter of the two streets first. This way it will be faster to choose the
second one from the list of crossing streets after the first street has been selected.
Tip: You can search for both the type and the name of a road. If you have the same
name appear as Street, Avenue, Boulevard, Road, Place and Court, you can get the
result faster by giving the first letter of this, too. For example searching for ‘Pi A’ will
result in Pine Avenue skipping all Pine Streets and Pine Roads.
Tip: Should the name of the street be a prefix for several other street names, just
enter the whole name, press Done, and the exact match will be the first in the list.
This way you can easily find even very short street names.
As soon as you select a street, you are automatically taken to the House Number
Input screen.
