SUMMARY

This article describes how to find addresses in Automap Streets.

MORE INFORMATION

The address databases and address finding routines used in Microsoft Automap Streets work best if use the following guidelines:

  1. Use numeric house numbers. For example, use 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue instead of "Sixteen Hundred Pennsylvania Avenue".
  2. Road names that are the same as a suffix, such as "Circle Drive" or "Court Avenue" may not be correctly interpreted by the program.
  3. If Automap Streets does not find an address, shorten the address by entering the street name only. For example, if no match is found for "2345 Someplace Avenue Southwest" try "Someplace Avenue" or "Someplace".
  4. If a map has more than one road with the same name and one of the roads does not have house number data, Automap may not find either street. Shorten the address by removing the house number and try again.
  5. When you find the street you want, if you click in different points along the street, the status bar at the bottom of the screen will show the closest house numbers.
