Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor

1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and
find the item you wish to select.

2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor cross-hair on the desired ob-
ject. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.

Searching

Now that you've seen how the unit can find where

you are, let's search

for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most powerful
features in the Lowrance GPS product line.

In this example, we'll look for the

nearest fast-food restaurant. For more

information on different types of searches, refer to

Sec. 9, Searching.

NOTE:

This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included
with a high detail MapCreate 6 custom map.

After the unit has acquired a position:

1. Press

we will narrow our search. Press

with the closest at the top of the list, and the farthest at the bottom of
the list. The nearest is highlighted.
