This guide explains how to use the map search function to find a specific road while working in Network Management. It shows you how to search by road name and suburb, or by road name and state if the suburb is not known. This helps you quickly locate the right road segment before making network changes.

1. Open the NHVR Portal and log in using your Road Manager account.

2. Select Access management, then Vehicle networks.

3. Open the vehicle network you want to work with by clicking the Vehicle Network Name hyperlink.

4. Once the map is visible, locate the Search function in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

5. Click in the Search field and start typing the road name.

6. Enter the suburb as well as the road name to narrow down the results to that suburb.

7. If you do not know the suburb, enter the road name and choose the relevant state instead so that the dynamic list only shows roads in your state.

8. From the dynamic list of results, select the correct road entry. The map will update to show the selected road so you can then use the Network Management tools (for example Pan and Select, Area tool, Route Selection tool) to select segments and make changes.

If you cannot see the Search field, make sure you are in a Network Management view (for example a network open in View or Edit mode).

If your first search returns too many results, add the suburb or state as described so the dynamic list is narrowed to relevant roads.

Use the search function before selecting segments; it is often faster than manually panning and zooming across the map.

Once you have found the road, you can right-click selected segments to Approve, Add a Condition, Restrict or Remove them as part of a Network Update Request.

Check your organisation’s internal process or guidance for how roads should be named and recorded.

Contact the NHVR Network Management or Spatial support team if a road cannot be located or appears under an unexpected name.
