Find and share a location
You can find addresses, businesses, landmarks, and more. After you find the location you want, you can share it with others or send the details to yourself to use later.
![Enter a location in the search field, or click it to see recent searches. Click a landmark or pin to view details.](https://help.apple.com/assets/59D529A8680CE221160B776D/59D529A9680CE221160B7775/en_US/ccd3eba3ae73a4b1ce50788bc2ecc3eb.png)
Find a location
To find a location nearby, first click the Current Location button
(or use the Touch Bar) to show your location on the map.
Note: If you see a message that Maps can’t use your current location, turn on Location Services for the Maps app.
Click the search field, then enter an address or other information (or tap a category in the Touch Bar, such as restaurants or shopping). For example:
Intersection (“8th and market”)
Area (“greenwich village”)
Landmark (“Guggenheim”)
Zip code
Business (“movies,” “restaurants San Francisco ca,” “apple inc new york”)
GPS coordinates (“37.8199 N, 122.4783 W”)
Ask Siri. Say something like:
“Find coffee near me”
“What’s the quickest way to the Golden Gate Bridge?”
When Maps finds a location, it drops a red pin on the map. If Maps finds multiple results, you see multiple pins.
Get information about a location
Maps shows you information about a location such as the address, type of location (for example, a landmark, business, or park), and distance from your current location. You can also get directions, add the location to your favorites or contacts, or report an issue.
Click the location’s pin on the map, then click the Info button
(or use the Touch Bar).
For some locations, you can see contact information, photos, and reviews. You may need to scroll down to see more.
To close the Info window, click outside of it.
Share a location
Click the location’s pin on the map, then click the Info button
(or use the Touch Bar).
Click the Share button
in the top-right corner of the Info window, then choose how you want to share.
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Mail these directions to Emily.” Learn more about Siri.
To share an entire map, click the Share button in the Maps toolbar.
To open multiple maps, choose File > New Window.
You can also open a map from apps such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. For example, in a Mail message, hold the pointer over an address, then click the arrow that appears.
