Search Overview

Five different types of searches  

You can search for our nearest locations using any one of the following:

  • Postal ZIP Code
  • City name, with spelling error correction
  • Canadian postal Code
  • Telephone area code
  • Telephone area code and exchange
  • State name or abbreviation, with spelling error correction.
    (This also shows how to retrieve a state map.)
  • Province name or abbreviation, with spelling error correction.
    (This also shows how to retrieve a province map.)

Uses geographic coordinates  

How does it work? The search program knows the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) of every five-digit ZIP Code and telephone area code (and exchange), and of many thousands of towns in the United States. This allows us to show you our locations nearest your point of interest, even if they are in different cities, states, ZIP Codes and area codes.

Hints  

The best way to search is to be as specific as possible. If you know the ZIP Code or area code and exchange, they will usually be the most precise. If not, using city and state is usually very good, unless the city is very large. Least accurate is to try to click on the map near a particular city, unless the city is actually marked on the map.

Use only one of the suggested formats. For example, use a city name or a ZIP Code, but not both.

If you want to know about a particular location represented by a marker on a map, clicking near the marker is the most efficient way to get information about that location.
