Quick Start
Points of Interest
Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning your trip. Instructions can be found in the
Owners Manual on page 25. If you make frequent stops, leave the StreetPilot III powered on and
receiving satellites. This will allow the unit to accurately measure elapsed time during the trip. Some
vehicles disconnect power to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is turned off. In such cases, leave a
fresh set of batteries in the StreetPilot III. When external power is lost, a pop-up window will appear
asking if you wish to continue operating from battery power.
Once you have reached your destination city, a checkered fl ag replaces the directional arrow telling
you that the destination has been reached. With the external speaker connected, there is also a voice
confi rmation that the you have arrived at the destination.
Searching for Points of Interest
The Virtual Tour thus far has relied on built-in StreetPilot III data. If you’ve programmed the data
card using the City Navigator CD, or if your StreetPilot III came with a preprogrammed data card, you
can explore your area in more detail—searching for nearby restaurants, lodging, entertainment, shopping,
etc. Let’s take a brief look at how this works.
To search nearby Points of Interest and fi nd a destination:
1. Press the FIND key. The Find Window appears asking what type of location you are looking for.
2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the desired
location type (in this case, Points of Interest) and
press ENTER.
3. The StreetPilot III will ask for a Points of Interest
category. For this tour select ‘Food & Drink’ and
press ENTER.
4. StreetPilot III even lets you defi ne the type of
restaurant you’re looking for! For this example, select ‘All Types’ and press ENTER.
5. The StreetPilot III will search its internal database and present a list of nearby restaurants. (continued)
Both fl ag and voice (below) confi rm that you have arrived.
With the City Navigator CD-ROM, you can program the
data card and search for Points of Interest.
