      Searching for a Street Address

      This method uses the 1map National Address Dictionary (NAD) to process your query.

      1. In the Search Panel, in the "Search:" dropdown box, choose "Street Address".
      2. Enter the street address that you wish to search for.
      3. Press Enter on your keyboard.

      Pro Tips!

      1. 1map's search does not use fuzzy logic (like most online search engines), but rather uses an exact match algorithm. If you cannot find the address you're looking for, try stripping off some of the text, like the "street/road" or the number.
      2. Refine your search by adding Province Codes:
        EC: Eastern Cape
        FS: Free State
        GT: Gauteng
        KZ: KwaZulu-Natal
        LP: Limpopo
        MP: Mpumalanga
        NC: Northern Cape
        NW: North Wes
        WC: Western Cape
