icon searchOrg The search tool enables, depending on the configuration of the search provider, address-/POI- and/or coordinate searches. This makes it easy to navigate to known addresses or points of interest on the map.

  • The address and POI search can be used to search for addresses or keywords (depending on the search provider used in the respective app). The search field can support this by providing suggestions (e.g. keywords, company and street names) to complete the search query.

  • The coordinate search allows you to search using coordinate pairs. All VC Maps that have integrated the coordinate search as a search provider support a search using WGS84 coordinates with the syntax <Lon>, <Lat> in decimal degrees. Example for the coordinate search using WGS84 coordinates: 13.339138, 52.503497.
    The support of other reference systems depends on the configuration of this search option in the map and can also include the search using projected coordinates, in this case the search is carried out according to the syntax <easting>, <northing>. Example for the coordinate search using EPSG:25833 coordinates: 387268.611, 5818337.466.
