Find
The Find button is labeled with a magnifying glass. Use it to search for a point of interest, waypoint,
address, coordinate, and more. You can search for a location based on its name or its proximity to
the current map center.

The Mark button is labeled with a push pin. Use it to mark a waypoint at your current GPS location
or the cursor location (when panning). Once you mark a location, you can edit the waypoint name,

the waypoint.

U.S. coverage. While this provides a great view of a large area, chances are that you will want a
detailed view of a smaller area for hiking, geocaching, and other activities. You can transfer more
