# Check a field

> Find a field on the map and read its free report in a few steps.

You don't need an account or a card to check a field.

**1. Open the map**

Go to [checkthatfield.com/map](https://www.checkthatfield.com/map).

**2. Find the field**

Type a postcode, or the name of a town or village, and press **Search**. You can also tap **Use my location**, or **Draw a field** and tap each corner of it in turn. See [Finding a field](https://docs.checkthatfield.com/app/searching.md).

**3. Tap the field**

Open fields near your search show on the map, coloured by their score. Tap one and a panel opens with its score, band and outlook. If nobody has checked the field yet, it says **Not scored yet**: tap **Score this field, free**, and the score is ready in a few seconds.

**4. Open the report**

Tap **See the free report in full** for the whole free report. To cover several fields in one report, tap **Select several**, pick up to 20, then tap **Report on these fields**.

**5. Read the result**

The report gives the score from 0 to 100, its band, the outlook over the next 5 and 15 years, and where the field is in the planning process. It names the strongest reasons behind the score and says how confident the score is. See [The free report](https://docs.checkthatfield.com/app/free-report.md).

> [!TIP]
>
> The address bar keeps your search, the map position and the fields you picked, so you can bookmark or share the page and come back to exactly the same view.
