Section 6: Searching
NOTE:
The Search function depends on the type of map data loaded in
your unit. GlobalMap HD models are fully "searchable" out of the
box because they contain a hard drive loaded with complete map-
ping information. These maps include all the data contained in our
MapCreate custom maps, Fishing Hot Spots lake maps and Nau-
ticPath coastal charts. For all other units, the background map
loaded in your unit's permanent memory lets you search for some
land features, including cities and lakes. For a full set of searchable

one of our plug and play map options such as FreedomMaps, Fish-

detail is found in the background map and custom MapCreate
maps, see page 35.
This unit's varied search functions all begin with either the Find Way-
