MaIn Menu >
Searching for a map item is simplied by separating
the map database into groups which are shown as
icons on the Find Menu Page.
• When you access a Find group list, by default
it contains only those items near your current
location or the Panning Arrow (if active).
• To save effort in searching again for an item
already found, you can use the “Recent Finds”
group which contains a list of 50 last found
items of all categories. Pressing and holding
DIRECT TO key also shows this category at
any time when in Automotive or Marine Mode.
The options menu for each map item group offers its
own unique search options such as “Find By Name,”
“Find Nearest,” “Select Symbol” (for Waypoints),
“Change Reference” (by moving the map Panning
Arrow to a new location), “Nearest Containing” (a
key word you enter), “Select Category” (for those
groups such as Food and Drink, Lodging, etc.). Using
these options can effectively shorten your search.
Searching for a Location
If you know the name of the location you want to nd,
the Find By Name search option can be the easiest
method of searching.
