1. From the Main Menu, tap the Points of Interest icon.
2. Select Search by Name.

destination. You need not enter the full

the easier it will be to find the exact POI

4. Select the search criteria: Near Current
Position, Near What City? (requires entering
a city name) or Near Address (requires
entering an address).

detailed information about the highlighted
POI in the list. The arrow and distance
indicates the direction and distance in a
straight line from your current position to
the POI.
Not that searching by name will show all
POIs that meet the name criteria,
regardless of category. In the sample
shown here, there are home improvement
centers (Lowe’s) and parks (Lowell Brandt

name to continue.
