Finding an Address with Bookmarks and Contacts
If you have already stored someone’s street address in the Contacts app, you don’t
need to retype this address into the Maps app to find its location. Instead, you can
just tap that person’s name, and the Maps app will find that location for you.
To see how to find an address from the Contacts app, make sure you have
stored someone’s street address and then follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap Maps. The Maps screen appears.
2. Tap the Bookmarks icon. A Contacts window appears.
3. Tap Contacts at the bottom of this window. Your list of Contacts appears.
4. Tap a name. The map displays a red pin identifying the location of the
address stored with that name. (If you choose a name that doesn’t have a
street address stored with it, you’ll see a “No Street Addresses” message.)

tination by following these steps:
