Searching

Now that you've seen how AirMap 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 VOR. For more information
on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Searching.

NOTE:

This example requires the Jeppesen database included with your

AirMap.

After AirMap has acquired a position:
1. Press

FIND

|↓ to

F

IND

VOR

S

ENT

.

2. You could search the VOR category by any of these four criteria (by

Nearest, by Name, by Identifier or by City), but in this example we will

just search for nearest. When the Find By menu pops up, press

ENT.

3. AirMap says it is calculating, then a list of VORs appears, with the

closest at the top of the list, and the farthest at the bottom of the list.

The nearest is highlighted.

Find VORs Menu, left; Search Criteria menu, center; and

list of the nearest VORs, right.

4. If you wish, you could scroll ↑ or ↓ here to select another VOR, but

for now we will just accept the nearest one. Press

ENT

.

5. The waypoint information screen appears. If you wanted to navigate

there, you press

ENT

, since the

G

command is highlighted. But we

just want to see it on the map, so press → to
