View the geospatial measuring tools by choosing Tools > Analyze panel.

Use the Geospatial Location tool to perform these tasks:

• Mark a location with a geospatial annotation.

• Search for a location in a document.

Find map locations

1

Open a geospatial PDF and choose Tools > Analyze > Geospatial Location tool

.

2

Right-click inside the map, and then click Find A Location.

Type the latitude and longitude values (degrees, minutes, seconds, or decimal) in the two text boxes, and click Find.

If at least one location is available, the location is highlighted with a blue square and the page is centered on the
highlighted location.

If the PDF includes more than one map, click the Next or Previous button to view additional results, if any. Multiple
locations are available in several situations:

• When a document contains multiple maps (for example, if a PDF contains a smaller map within a larger map,

such as a city within a map of a state or country). When you search for a location within the city, Acrobat finds
it in both the larger map and the city map.

• When a document contains multiple pages of a map (for example, if page one is a map of a country and page two

is a map of a state or city within the country).
