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
object. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected
item.
Searching
Now that you've seen how the GlobalMap Baja can find where you are,
let's search for something 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. 6, Searching.
NOTE:
This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database in-
cluded with a high detail MapCreate custom map.
