Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor
1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and
find the item you wish to select.
2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor cross-hair on the desired
object. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected
item.
Searching
Now that you've seen how the GlobalMap can find where
you are, let's
search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most
powerful features 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, Search-
ing.
NOTE:
This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included
with a high detail MapCreate 6 custom map.
