Location Search
Use the Location Search control to search by a street address, city, county and/or zip code. Enter your location information and press the "Go" button. The map will zoom to the point nearest to the location for your search. If you are looking for a county having the same name as a city, enter (for example) "Denver county".
Choose Categories
The category items can be expanded by clicking the green "+" icon button to show sub-categories. To select a category, select the checkbox to the left of the desired category. To deselect a category, uncheck the checkbox for the selected category. When you choose "Select All", the checkboxes for all items in the category are checked. To unselect all, uncheck the "Select All" checkbox.
As you select and deselect items, the Google Map will redisplay locations based on your search and selections. The map's categories are indicated on the Google Map by the icons that appear to the left of the main category. The icon on the Google Map corresponds to the category item for your search. Note that your search may match more than one category if multiple categories are selected.
If you are unsure of the purpose of a category item, press the ? and a pop-up window will explain.
