NOTE:

you search for some land features, including cities and lakes. For a
full set of searchable land features, including landmarks, streets, ad-
dresses, highway exits and Points of Interest, you must load your
own high-detail custom map produced with our MapCreate software.
Or, you can use one of our plug and play map options such as Free-
domMaps, Fishing HotSpots or NauticPath. For a complete descrip-
tion of what detail is found in the background map and custom Map-
