Mapping Detail:

There's more here than meets the eye.

The Custom Map Files you make with MapCreate contain more mapping
detail than what is visible on your computer screen. Your MapCreate 6-
compatible GPS unit takes full advantage of this extra information.

Find Highway Exit Services
For example, move your mouse pointer over a highway exit symbol on
the computer map, and all you'll see is a pop-up tool-tip box listing the
name of the exit. However, in a Lowrance or Eagle GPS unit, the same
exit symbol will show a pop-up box with the exit name

and symbols of

all the services available near that exit. The GPS unit can also provide
you a list of those services.

box. The iFINDER can then display a text list of those services near

the selected exit, right.

Find Points of Interest
On the computer master map, moving your pointer over a Point of
Interest (POI) symbol triggers a pop-up box with the POI's name. In a
Lowrance or Eagle GPS, you'll be shown the POI's address and phone
number as well.
