Go to a website that provides driving directions and mapping services. Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, and Mapquest are three of the most popular websites offering driving directions.
Enter the residence number, street name, city, state, and zip code of the address you are searching in the fields specified by your choice of website.
Choose between "Walking Directions" and "Driving Directions". The route you may take in searching for a particular street address will vary depending on your method of travel. Because walking to a location requires no adherence to one-way streets, etc., it's important to specify whether you'll be walking or driving during your search.
Print the information you need for the address or send the information to your cell phone via the website.
Turn on the GPS device and wait for it to transmit your current coordinates via satellite. The two most popular GPS units on the market today are Garmin and Tom Tom, both of these have the capability to automatically pinpoint the unit's current location, thereby making turn-by-turn directions possible.
Enter the street number, city, and state of the address you're searching for into the specified field on the GPS.
Wait for the unit to calculate turn-by-turn directions from your current location and follow them accordingly.
