With Google search, you don’t need to look up a map or ask someone for directions. This feature of Google enables you to perform an online search for specific directions to an address. Here is how to do it.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Go online and visit the Google home page (see resources).
Step2
Enter the U.S. street address and the city name in the search box. This will display results for the typed search item. At the top of the search results page, you will find a Google "Map" result for the search item.
Step3
Click on the Google "Map" result. This will lead you to the area map with a pointer to the requested address.
Step4
Click on any of the "Get Directions" options. This allows you to find directions "to be there," "from there" or to "search nearby."
Step5
Enter the exact address you’re looking for in the "Direction" search box.
Step6
Alternatively, go to the Google Maps page (http://maps.google.com) and enter the street address and city name in the search box. You can enter the destination as well as the originating place to get directions from Google Maps.
