Online Find Options (Geocoding) dialog
The Online Find Options (Geocoding) dialog is used to specify the web map applications that are to be used for geocoding (converting addresses into geographic coordinates) and reverse geocoding (using geographic coordinates to find a location, usually a postal address). To access these applications, a connection to the Internet is required, and you may need to know the application programming interface (API) key(s) supplied to your company from the relevant web map application provider(s).
The 
(Find network objects) and the 
(Go
to XY coordinates) options, accessed from the Operations toolbar or GeoPlan menu, can be used to search using an address or co-ordinates, according to the geocoding options specified in this dialog.
The dialog is displayed when the Online find options (geocoding) button is clicked in the GeoPlan page of the Options dialog.
