Section 6: Searching
NOTE:
The Search function depends on the type of map data loaded in
your unit. GlobalMap HD models are fully "searchable" out of the
box because they contain a hard drive loaded with complete map-
ping information. These maps include all the data contained in our
MapCreate custom maps, Fishing Hot Spots lake maps and Nau-
ticPath coastal charts. For all other units, the background map
loaded in your unit's permanent memory lets you search for some

detail is found in the background map and custom MapCreate
maps, see page 35.
