The selected airport to the northwest is 4.2 miles away.
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 the item you wish to select.
2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor crosshairs on the desired ob-
ject. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.
You will also notice a red ring surrounds the item as it becomes se-
lected. Once that happens, press
FIND and the Find Menu will pop up
with an extra option at the top of the list: S ELECTED I TEM
. Press ENT to see
the Waypoint Information screen for the selected item.
Searching
Now that you've seen how the iFINDER can find where you are, let's
search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most
powerful new 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, Searching.
NOTE:
This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included
in a high-detail MapCreate 6 custom map.
