Finding Places
Use the FIND feature on your StreetPilot unit (or remote) to take the guess work out of locating a city
street, restaurant, or hotel. You can even use FIND to see what rest areas are approaching as you near an
exit on the Interstate.
Finding a City
Select the Cities icon from the Find menu. A list of cities will appear, as well as each city’s direction and
distance from your current position as indicated by the Near Here tab. Use the scroll bar on the right side of
the page to view the entire list of cities. The Near Here tab lists cities that are closest to your current physi-
cal location or, if you have panned to an area away from your current location, to your map pointer.
You can fi nd cities in many ways. Touch the down arrow (ź) on the Near Here tab and you will see a
variety of options. (Note that these options appear depending upon whether you are currently navigating a
route or panning your Map page).
•By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the city you seek; use the mini keyboard
that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all city names that are loaded
in your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for Greensboro, N.C., your
search (using By Name) will return a list of all Greensboros in the U.S.
•Near Other: Use Near Other to fi nd a city that is not in your immediate location. For example, of you are
physically in Kansas and you want to fi nd a city in Colorado, select Near Other and a map of the U.S. will
appear. Touch an area in Colorado that is close to the city you wish to identity, and then touch the check
mark that appears in the upper right-hand corner of your Map page. A new list of cities in Colorado
will appear. (Note that when the list of cities appears, the tab will change from Near Other to Near Map
Pointer. This is because the StreetPilot is searching for cities that are located near the current position of
your map pointer, not your current physical location.)
If your search returns a large list of cities, you can narrow the search by touching the Filter tab. For
example, if you are looking for Fort Collins, Colorado, type “Fort” on the Filter page and touch OK. The
Access this menu by selecting FIND on your
StreetPilot unit or remote. Use the scroll bar to see
the third line of options, which are not shown above.
