Using the Location Information Button
There's one more button that appears whenever the cursor is up. The
Location Information button appears in the top right corner of
the screen. You can always use this button to bring up a screen
showing details on the location selected by the map cursor. This
could be a Point of Interest such as a restaurant or gas station, or a con-
tact that you've saved, or simply a map location that you'd like to visit.
As we mentioned, whenever you press the Location Information button,
the Location Information Screen appears. The Location Information
Screen will include as much information as possible about the location
that you've selected. If it's simply a cursor location, this may include
only the lat/lon coordinates and the distance and bearing to the loca-
tion, although a cursor location close to a road will also have the street
address. If it's a Point of Interest the information should include street
address and even the shop's phone number.
