Tips for Using the Street Maps.
You can search within the street maps using the tools at the top of the map window. The magnifying glass tool will zoom the image in or out. The grabbing hand tool will allow you to pan within the image.

To search for street names, geographic features, or other text on the maps, use the binoculars tool. Enter your term in the search window. In response, your search term will be highlighted on the map. You may have to zoom in to see it clearly.
