Search Syntax

What You Can Type Into Find

Six input formats Find recognizes, so you can search the way you already think.

City or District

e.g. Kyoto, Brooklyn, Shoreditch, London.

Street Address

Full street + number + city; ZIP code can be appended for precision.

Coordinate Pair

Latitude, longitude such as 35.681, 139.767. The finder centers the map on that point.

Landmark Name

Popular landmarks, stadiums, parks, airports or campuses work out of the box.

Postal Code

Enter just a ZIP / postal code to see the whole region at once.

Airport / Station

Use airport codes like LAX or NRT to jump to the terminal area.

Workflow

Four Ways People Use Find

Four typical flows from a single search box to a complete map decision.

01

Pre-Trip

Search hotel address, open satellite, then switch to driving directions.

02

Weather Check

Search destination city and jump to Weather Maps and Radar to plan timing.

03

Site Inspection

Search a parcel, inspect with satellite then validate elevation on 3D Maps.

04

Research

Search a region and compare street, dark and satellite views for a report.

Why Start From Find

One Search Box, Zero Friction

Find is the shortest path from a place in your head to a live map on your screen.

Search Persistence via URL

Your search term is preserved in the URL as ?q=, so every tab, bookmark or deep link keeps the same query intact for later reuse.

That means you can chain searches: open one query in Satellite, refine it, then pass the same ?q= into 3D or Weather without retyping anything.

Shared Links

Copy the URL and send it — the recipient lands on the same location and layer.

Zero Signup

No account, no login, no cookies required to run a full search session.

Any Input Type

Addresses, coordinates, ZIP codes, airport codes or landmark names are all accepted.

Layer Switching

Jump between satellite, 3D, weather, radar and more without losing the current target.

Find map by address: what should I type in the search box?
Type a street address, city, landmark, ZIP/postal code, or a coordinate pair. After the place is found, you can open it in Satellite, Streets, 3D, Weather, Radar, or Directions.
Coordinates to map: does Find support latitude and longitude?
Yes. Enter latitude and longitude (for example: 35.681, 139.767). Find centers the map on that point so you can verify it in Streets or Satellite.
Why do I see multiple results for the same place name?
Many names are shared across regions. Use more context (city, state/province, country, or a ZIP code) to narrow results.
How do I switch from Find to Driving Directions without retyping?
After you locate a place, use the tool links to open Directions. The site keeps the same location context so you can plan an A-to-B route quickly.
Is Find real-time navigation?
No. Find is for locating places and opening the right map view. For turn-by-turn steps and ETA, use Driving Directions.
