Lowrance electronic Handheld Mapping GPS Receiver - Manual (Page 35)

When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square
dots. As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the
0.3 mile zoom example at right, the cursor has selected the Cholita's
Mexican Restaurant POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI
name. This pop-up box works on POIs at any zoom range.
Tip:
In some urban areas, businesses are so close to one another that
their POI icons crowd each other on the screen. In the preceding
figure, you can see a packed string of POIs all along the west half of
11th. You can reduce screen clutter and make streets and other
map features easier to see by simply turning off the display of POIs
you're not watching for. (To see how, check the text on Map Detail
Category Selection, in Sec. 5. It shows how to use the Map Catego-
ries Drawn menu to turn individual POI displays off and on.) Even
though their display is turned off, you can still search for POIs and
their icons will pop-up when your unit finds them for you.
The following page contains a 12-step quick reference for Easy Mode
operation. If you don't want to carry the manual with you as you prac-
tice with iFINDER, you might consider photocopying this quick refer-
ence page and tucking it into your pocket.
