The MAR includes Web Services built and Distributed using DC's service-oriented architecture.

The DC Location Search is part of the MAR. It makes locating addresses as easy as possible by employing spell check and lists of street names and street type “aliases.” For Example Martin Luther King Jr Avenue is also referred to as MLK Ave. In addition to locating addresses, the MAR also helps users find intersections, blocks, place names and condo/apartment units.
