To search for SPLC information:

2. Enter the search criteria using one or any combination of the following methods: 

   • Searching by SPLC

     To search by SPLC, enter the partial or full code. 
     If a partial code is entered, the search results list any SPLC that begins with the same partial code.
     For example, if you enter 0123, then all codes that start with 0123 are displayed. 

   • Searching by Location/Station name

     To search by Location / Station name, enter the partial or full name of the location, station, point, or cross-referenced location, etc. 
     The search results list the following: 

     • Any SPLC that has a location, station, or cross reference that begins with the entered text. 
     • Any comment that contains the search text.

   • Searching by County

     To search by County, enter the partial or full name of the country.
