Introduction
This page introduces Marble's offline search: Searching for addresses and points of interest (POIs), installation of additional search databases and upgrading from previous versions.
Searching
Address Search
The most common way to search for addresses is to enter the street name, a comma, and the city the street is located in like this:
Baker Street, London
Marble will do a case-insensitive search for 'Baker Street' located in 'London'.
If you're not sure whether the street you're looking for was 'Baker Street' or 'Bakery Street', you can search for the common part of both and Marble will find both (if they exist):
Baker, London
POI Search
Searching for points of interest works very similar to the address search described above. Enter the name of the POI first and the city it's located in second. Separate both with a comma.
Burger King, London
Searching for House Numbers
A growing number of houses is listed in OpenStreetMap with their number. House numbers are listed in normal address searches as well, but you can limit the results to specific house numbers as well. To achieve this, use the form
221b, Baker Street, London
Because this way of searching is not too intuitive for many, Marble supports an alternative form. Entering
Baker Street 221b, London
is another way to query this house number.
