search help

Searching for space is one of the main features of SpaceOut, so we have spent quite a bit of time trying to make it as easy for you to use as possible. This page provides instructions on how to get the most out of the Search Tools available on SpaceOut.

Search Maps

By providing maps as a part of our search results, you’ll able to decide more easily which spaces will be the most convenient for you. Usually when you look for space, you will probably base the search on your own local area by entering your own suburb or postcode as the location. The map displayed in the standard search results provides a visual reference for you to see which spaces are closest to you.

• The maps we use on this site are based on Google's Mapping Tools, so you’ll probably find the functionality on our maps similar to Google.The Tables below provide an overview of the Map and Search Functionality :
