How to Find a Street Number on Google Maps
To find a street number on Google Maps, enter the location in the search bar, then zoom in to view the numbers. Click on a specific location to see the full address with the street number. Search for the street number and street name, not the reverse.
Importance of Street Numbers
In most cases, the street number describes where a building is on a street. It may also be called a house number. Businesses use street number, not house number, in addresses. Google Maps displays house numbers in all map layers. Buildings with apartments might only show the street number.
Address Format and Street Numbering
In the US and Canada, the address starts with the house number, then the street name, apartment number, city, state, and ZIP code. Street numbering often starts at an intersection and continues by hundreds from each junction.
Finding Your House Number
To find your number, check the front exterior of the building – on the mailbox, wall, or driveway. Contact your municipal office with address details to ask. See neighbors’ numbers to deduce your own.
Understanding Street Numbering
A street suffix describes the street type, like Street, Avenue, or Road. Line 1 of an address is the number and street. Line 2 adds apartment, suite, or unit number.
