Right‑click context menu displayed on the map with the **“Ad Hoc Lookup”** option highlighted in pink at the top, indicating a tool that allows the user to perform a lookup action for the selected map location in addition to accessing other map tools and actions.
Ad Hoc Lookup is only available in the Underwriting app

Ad Hoc Lookup

Use the Ad Hoc Lookup in the Underwriting application to quickly run a new analysis for a location that wasn’t included in your original analysis. This is commonly used to geocorrect a location that doesn’t fall precisely on the building being insured. It can also be helpful when a property is close to a more severe hazard zone—running an analysis nearby may reveal a higher risk profile that supports a different premium.

Zoom to Address or Lat/Long

This option lets you quickly enter an address or latitude/longitude and automatically centers the map on that location. It’s a convenient way to move between locations without extensive panning or zooming.

Copy Lat/Long
