 ```
 
+Alternatively you can specify the `address` field and leave the latitude and longitude properties as empty strings 
+
+```js
+import {showLocation} from 'react-native-map-link';
+
+showLocation({
+  address: '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500', // Required if replacing latitude and longitude
+  app: 'comgooglemaps',  // optionally specify specific app to use
+});
+```
+
 Notes:
 
 - The `sourceLatitude` / `sourceLongitude` options only work if you specify both. Currently supports all apps except Waze.
 - `directionsMode` works on google-maps, apple-maps and sygic (on apple-maps, `bike` mode will not work, while on sygic, only `walk` and `car` will work). Without setting it, the app will decide based on its own settings.
 - If you set `directionsMode` but do not set `sourceLatitude` and `sourceLongitude`, google-maps and apple-maps will still enter directions mode, and use the current location as starting point.
--
+- If you want to query an address instead of passing the `latitude` and `longitude` fields, you can do this by leaving those fields off and provide a full address to be queried with the `address` field. Just be aware that not all applications support this.
