Browse popular categories to search the map for businesses or points of interest by type.

  1. Open the Search screen from the map or main menu and choose to Browse popular categories.
  2. Select the category that matches the business type you'd like to find.
  3. If you'd like to search for the category in the area currently visible on the map, perform the search for that category (Ex: Pizza Restaurant).
  4. If you'd like to search for the category at another location, just add the location after the category in the search bar (Ex: Pizza Restaurant San Francisco, Pizza Restaurant 94043).

You'll see all search results for the relevant businesses from the category you selected on the map.
