The Find Page
Using the Find Page
You can use the Find button (the one with a magnifying glass) to search for addresses, roads, cities,
points of interest, waypoints, coordinates, and more. There are two Find search options: Find Near
Map Center, which is the default setting, or Find By Name.
Use the Find Near Map Center search option to search for categories of information, such as
geographic features, waypoints, points of interest, and more, near your current map center. The
number of search results returned is based on available search results, not on distance. Find Near
Map Center searches stop after 200 search results are found.
Use the Find By Name search option to search for a specific location, such as a specific address or
point of interest. To narrow your search results, you can choose either the Name Contains or Name
Begins With option to search for results that contain or begin with certain characters.
In the Find menu, the option you are currently using is highlighted. The available options are pre-
ceded by “Switch to.”
