Using an interactive map interface, Locate is a useful module that assists users in finding classified ads. It lets you access comprehensive details about each listing, search for specific items or vehicles, and see where they are located on a map.
Navigate to the Locate module's main page to start using it. There will be a search bar and a drop-down list where you can specify the kind of vehicle or item you're looking for and choose the location.
