Find a community service via the directory indexes
Find a Melway or Sydway map reference

Start from the key map and drill down through the map levels
Find using the special purpose maps listing.
Link to different scaled maps and special purpose maps at your current location with a mouse click

A search method is selected from the toolbar or from a drop down menu. 

For example, when finding a street address, a dialogue box is displayed:

As you enter each character into the Select Address box, all streets matching the characters entered are displayed, so usually there is no need to enter the full name before being able to select the desired street from the street name and/or locality list box. 

Either upper or lower case entry is accepted.

Click OK to retrieve the map. The map will be opened with the location of the selected street at the centre of the screen display. A large red circle will flash three times around the cursor.
