Searching
NOTE:
The background map loaded in your unit lets you search for U.S.
Interstate Highway exits and exit services, as well as some land
features, including cities and lakes. For a full set of searchable land
features, including landmarks, streets, addresses and Points of In-
terest, you must load your own high-detail custom map produced
with our MapCreate 6 software. For a complete description of what
detail is found in the background map and custom MapCreate
maps, see page 34.
The GlobalMap's variety of search functions all begin with either the
Find Waypoint menu or the Map Page menu. Press
WPT and the Find
Waypoint menu appears for waypoints and Points of Interest (POI).
From the Map Page, press
MENU and the Map Page menu appears for
streets, addresses and highway exits.
Find Waypoint menu (left) and Map Page menu (right).
NOTE:
You can search for items after the unit has acquired a position, or
while using it in the "indoor" simulator mode. Distance and bearing
to the selected item will be calculated from the GlobalMap's current
position or the last known position if operating indoors or without a
position determined. You can look up items by name, or search for
the item nearest to you.
