Tip:
Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position
(or last known position, when working indoors) to any map object or
location. Use the arrow keys to position the cursor over the object or
place. The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the data
box at the bottom of the map. Press
EXIT to clear the cursor.
Selecting Any Map Item with the Cursor
1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and
find any item you wish to select.
2. Center the cursor crosshairs on the desired object. On most items, a
pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.
You will also notice a black border surrounds the item when it is se-
lected. Once that happens and you press
FIND , the Find Menu will pop
up with S

listed at the top of the menu. Press ENT to see the
Waypoint Information screen for the selected item.
Searching
Now that you have seen how the iFINDER 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'll look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For more
information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Searching.
NOTE:
This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included
with a high-detail MapCreate 6 custom map.
After the iFINDER has acquired a position:
1. Press
