The kiosk can then display one or more maps that allow the mailer to navigate to the desired location and select a specific location on the map where the mailer desires to send a mail piece. The kiosk can then display an aerial image of the location selected by the mailer, such that mailer can visually see the what the building at that location looks like.

Upon confirmation by the mailer, the kiosk can provide the mailer with correct mailing address for the location selected by the mailer.
