Search and Locate
Overview
OMN4 gives you two related ways to locate somewhere quickly:
- offline place search for names, postcodes, and other indexed places
- direct location entry using grid references, latitude/longitude, or UTM
This section explains both.
In This Section
- Search Places explains the offline place-search screen.

Good To Know
- Place search needs downloaded place data before it can work offline.
- Grid references and coordinates are useful even when place search data is not installed.
- Search results normally take you straight to the location on the map.
