# How to search with travel mode
<a name="how-to-search-travel-mode"></a>

`TravelMode` indicates your mode of mobility. This improves the relevance of search results. For example, a search for "EV charging station" returns charging stations suitable for trucks when `TravelMode` is set to `Truck`.

## Potential use cases

## Developer tips
<a name="search-text-travel-mode-dev-tips"></a>
+ Valid values are `Car`, `Scooter`, and `Truck`.
+ `TravelMode` improves relevance but does not filter results. Results may still include places that are not specific to the travel mode.
