3. Location Information & Options

Suggestions appear after you pause while typing. Choose a match to place the pin. Towns use a town-level point; an address can narrow it to a building or street.

Coordinates fill automatically when you choose a suggestion. You can also enter them alone or alongside a place label; coordinates alone fill the town and state when available. Search: Photon · © OpenStreetMap contributors
