  Navigating the Site
  Once you've started the ordering process, use the buttons at the bottom of the page to navigate through our web site and place your order (back, help, cancel, and continue). When you are browsing the informational pages on the site, you can use the "Back" button on your browser.

  
  
• How do I locate my site?

  Use a ZIP code to help the system locate your site more quickly.

  
  
• What if my site can't be located?

  Unable to Locate Your Site?

  • Try another cross street that might be close to your desired location. If that location comes up, you can relocate the site marker on the map to the original location.
  • Try another name. For example, if a street name has changed in the past few years, use the old name. Perhaps a street name is also a state highway, so you might try that highway number.

• What does the Quick Order button do?

  Quick Order Button for Faster Ordering
  When ordering reports/maps within your license you can take advantage of Quick Order. If you incur additional costs, the Quick Order option will not be available, and you will need to complete the regular ordering process to review and verify your order. The Quick Order button allows you to skip the order verification steps.

  1. Place your order as usual – login, select geography, specify area, verify map, and select report or map option.
  2. If you're selecting a report/map within your license (those marked as "No Charge"), the "Quick Order" button is activated.

  • Note: If the report/map selected is not within your license, the "Quick Order" button will not be available. Click "Add to Cart" to proceed as usual.

  Once the "Quick Order" button has been selected, your order will be processed immediately– eliminating the checkout, invoice and charge account steps.
