- 1). Call a person at the address in question and get specific directions to the location.
- 2). Get a street map of the area for the address in question. Maps are commonly available at most convenience stores or gas stations. Paper or laminated folding maps typically show streets and street names that are superimposed onto grids. Most city maps include an alphanumeric list of its street names on one side or the other.
- 3). Find the street name of the address on the street list. Read the associated map coordinates next to the street name. If more than one listing exists for the street name, a range of addresses should be included with each listing. Find which listing includes your address and read its map coordinates.
- 4). Look at the street map and notice that along the top and bottom are listed letters, and along the edges of either side are numbers. Use your alphanumeric coordinates to match the letter column with a number row to get the area of your address. Mark the spot on the map using a pen.
- 5). Find your present location in a similar manner. Mark your location with an "X" on the map. Look for connecting streets between the two marks and select your travel path.
- 6). Use an online map service such as MapQuest to get directions to your address. Go to http://www.mapquest.com/ and click "Directions." Enter your starting address and the address of your destination to get specific road directions from point A to B.
- 7). Use the Onstar http://www.onstar.com/us_english/jsp/plans/tbt.jsp or other GPS navigation system in your car to find directions when traveling by car.
- 8). Use your iPhone to get Google Maps and directions http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/index.html#.getting-directions to your addresses. Select if you want walking or driving directions.
- 9). Stop and ask for directions. Sometimes the GPS isn't working, or isn't giving information that's useful. Stopping at a store or business to ask for directions may be your last hope.
