Searching
NOTE:
The background map loaded in your unit lets you search for U.S.
Interstate Highway exits and exit services, as well as some land
features, including cities and lakes. For a full set of searchable land
features, including landmarks, streets, addresses and Points of In-
terest, you must load your own high-detail custom map produced
with our MapCreate 6 software. For a complete description of what
detail is found in the background map and custom MapCreate
maps, see page 29.
The GlobalMap's varied search functions all begin with either the Find
Waypoint menu or the Map Page menu. Press
WPT and the Find Way-
point menu appears for waypoints and Points of Interest (POI). From
the Map Page, press
MENU and the Map Page menu appears for streets,
addresses and highway exits.
Find Waypoint menu, left and Map Page menu, right.
NOTE:
You can search for items after the GlobalMap has acquired a posi-
tion, or while using it in the "indoor" simulator mode. Distance and
bearing to the selected item will be calculated from the GlobalMap's
current position, or the last known position if operating indoors
(without a position determined). You can look up items by name, or
search for the item nearest to you.
