Find Overview
There are four Find options you can use to search for and locate places and other

Advanced tab displays automatically.
• POIs–Search for specific points of interest, such as hotels, restaurants,
hospitals, department stores, etc. Search a specified distance from the
current map center or along an active route.
• GPS Radar–Search for points of interest, waypoints, and GIS points within a

search.
