The unique possibilities of online services will help you find a street in an unfamiliar city if you know its name or at least remember in which district it is located, and what buildings or attractions are located in this place. Try to find a street in Penza using the Yandex. Maps service.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to https://maps.yandex.ru to get into the geographic objects search system developed by Yandex. If you wish, you can use a similar service from Google, which can be found at https://maps.google.ru. The algorithm of actions will be almost identical.
Step 2
In the search field, enter the name of the city (in this case "Penza") and click the "Find" button. A city map will open in front of you, the scale of which can be changed using the mouse wheel or the zoom buttons located on the left side of the working area of the window.
Step 3
If you know the exact street name, enter it in the same search field and click the "Find" button again. The search will be performed within the framework of the Penza city map.
Step 4
If you don't know exactly the name of the street, but you remember how buildings or landmarks look on the street you want, you can search in another way. In the upper right corner of the working area of the window, click the "Panoramas" button. Most of the streets on the map will be highlighted in blue.
Step 5
Place the cursor on the proposed street marked in blue and right-click. Three-dimensional panoramas of city streets, made on the basis of photographic images, will appear in the upper part of the window. Move along the virtual streets of the city until you find the one you need.
Step 6
By clicking on the "Show" button, activate the "Photos" element by checking the checkbox so that images of the main sights and objects of the city appear on the map. Each photo is placed on the map in the place where the object depicted on it is located. Search for a street by looking at photographs in the suggested locations.
Step 7
Once the desired street is found, you can plot a route on the map to get to the desired place by the shortest route. To do this, go to the "Routes" tab, which is located in the menu located on the left side of the window. Click sequentially, first at the place from which you want to create a path, and then at the end point of the route.
Step 8
The menu will show all the details of the route, depending on the transport on which you will get, including the length and average travel time with or without traffic jams.
