Mapping Detail:

There's more here than meets the eye.

The 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 Brunton Atlas 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.

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. With MapCreate
6.3, when the information is available, the pop-up box also displays the
POI's address and telephone number. This detailed pop-up only works for
items classified as Points of Interest.
