Finding a Destination
Quick Start To use the StreetPilot III indoors or simulate a trip:
1. With the StreetPilot III turned on, press the MENU Key.
2. Select ‘Use Indoors’ using the ROCKER KEYPAD and press ENTER.
3. Press ENTER again to acknowledge the “GPS turned off” message banner. The StreetPilot III is now
in a simulated operation mode.
NOTE: In normal use you WILL NOT follow the steps above to enable the built-in simula-
tor. Simply turn the StreetPilot III on, select a destination (see steps below) and drive!
Finding a Destination
Your StreetPilot III includes a built-in database of cities and interstate highway exits. If you’ve
already programmed the data card using your City Navigator CD, or if your StreetPilot III came with a
preprogrammed data card, you’ll also have access to a second database that includes Points of Interest,
Address lookup and road Intersections (the data card must be in the unit in order to search for
addresses, points of interest, and some intersections). In this Virtual Tour we’ll use examples for cities
(built-in) and points of interest (data card). Once you’ve read through these examples feel free to
experiment on your own with other categories.
To fi nd a destination location:
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, Cities) and press
ENTER.
3. The StreetPilot III will search its internal database and present a list of nearby cities.
4. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight a nearby city on the list and press ENTER. An information
page will appear showing the city name, size, direction and distance to the city (from present
position) and several buttons at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: You can fi nd cities by name or from the nearest list. We’ll use the nearest list in this
demonstration, but experiment on your own later (see Owners Manual page 27).
