The Search Window allows you to make use of Bing Map's powerful address search
facilities. You can search by countries, counties, states, place names, addresses,
streets, cities, post- and zip-codes. You can also use the search box to find locations
, zoom to boundaries, or to locate sites.
- To search for a place name or address, enter the address into the search box. If
the address is not unique, you will be presented with a list of possibilities to
choose from. Being more specific about the address will reduce the number of possibilities
returned by the search process.
- To search for a UK postcode, enter the code followed by "(postcode), UK".
- To search for a zip code enter the code followed by "(zipcode), USA".
- To search for a specific site, enter the site name in the search box. Keima Overture
performs a prefix search, so you can just enter the first part of the site name.
A list of sites with that prefix will be returned; double-clicking the entry will
select that site and will centre the map on the site's location.
- To search for a specific location, enter the location in Overture's standard format.
For example, entering:
(-3.180242, 51.489901) WGS84
would centre the map on Keima's offices. You can use any of the projections defined
in your project when entering the location you wish to move to.
- To move the map to a specific boundary, enter the boundary in Overture's standard
format. For example, you could enter:
(-489200, 6574300) (-216100, 6769800) Mercator
to position Cardiff in the view port. You can use any of the projections defined
in your project when entering the boundary you wish to move to.
