Open the directory map from the left menu to see where students live. It is useful for planning carpools or finding neighbors.

## Use the map

1. Select **Directory Map** in the left menu. The map shows a pin for each visible student's address.
2. Use the grade chips to show only certain grades. The chip that is on is solid with a check mark.
3. Siblings at the same address share one pin with a number. Select it to see each child.
4. Select **View Profile** to open a student's page. On the iPhone app, selecting a number for several students lists their names, and choosing one opens that student's details.

The web uses Google Maps. The iPhone, iPad and Mac apps use Apple Maps.

## Map one group

A **Map** link on your starred students, on one of your lists, or on a club or team roster opens the same map showing only that group. A **Back** link returns you to where you came from. On the app, look for the small map button in the toolbar.

## Privacy

A family can choose to hide its home address from other parents. Hidden addresses are left off the map, including group maps. Opening a group's map never shows a pin you could not already see. School administrators see every address.

## Good to know

- A pin is only as accurate as the address your school has on file.
- Lists and stars are personal. A map of your list shows your list, and other people cannot open it.
