Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor
1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and
find the item you wish to select.
2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor crosshairs on the desired ob-
ject. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.
Tip:
This unit has a Cursor Undo feature that lets you instantly return
to the previous location you were looking at without scrolling. It
works like this: Use the cursor (arrow keys) to scroll the map to
some far away location or waypoint. Press
EXIT to clear the cursor
and jump back to your current position on the map. When you want
to take another peek at that distant place, just press
EXIT again.
You can use this trick to toggle between your current position and
your destination without a lot of scrolling.
Searching
Now that you have seen how the unit can find where you are, let's
search for something else. Searching is one of the most powerful fea-
tures in the Lowrance GPS product line.
In this example, we will look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For
more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Search-
ing.
NOTE:
This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database in-
cluded with a high detail MapCreate custom map.
After the unit has acquired a position:
1. Press
WPT| to POI-RESTAURANTS.
