A partial address, for example, Oxford st Lon.
A type of place, for example, petrol station or restaurant.
A place by name, for example, Starbucks.

Tip: To search for a specific street in the United Kingdom or the Netherlands, type in a postcode,
then leave a space and then type in the house number. For example, 1017CT 35. For other
countries, postcodes are area-based and will give you a list of matching cities, towns and streets
in your search results.
