Locate an Address with Contact Maps PDF Print E-mail

Microsoft Office OutlookMicrosoft Office Outlook can do more than just store your contact information. Outlook Contacts has a map feature that can help locate a contact's address for you.

If you have entered a complete address for a person or business in your contact list, it takes only a few clicks to bring up a map for that location. And if you want written directions, that is only another click away.



View a map for an address in Contacts:   In an open Contact, in the Addresses section, click the arrow, and then click the type of address that you want to find on a map — Business, Home, or Other.

Tip
The Addresses section is in the lower-left portion of the contact form (contact form: A view of an individual contact that contains all the information stored in the contact.). The arrow is next to a button that displays one of the address types.

On the Contact tab, in the Communicate group, click Map.

Along with viewing a map that shows the location of the contact's address, you have the options to zoom in or out, print the map, and get written directions.
