Searching

Now that you've seen how the unit 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, Searching.
NOTE:

This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database in-

cluded with a high detail MapCreate custom map.

After the unit has acquired a position:
1. Press

↓ to

2. You could search the entire restaurant category, but in this example
we will narrow our search. Press

3. The unit says it is calculating, then a list of restaurants appears,

with the closest at the top of the list, and the farthest at the bottom of

the list. The nearest is highlighted.

Find Waypoint Menu, left; Category Selection menu, center;

and list of the nearest restaurants, right.

4. If you wish, you could scroll

↑ or ↓ here to select another restaurant,

but for now we will just accept the nearest one. Press

ENT

5. The POI information screen appears. (This is how you can use this

unit as a business phone directory!) If you wanted to navigate there,

you could press Enter, since the Go To Waypoint command is high-
lighted. But we just want to see it on the map, so press

↓ to
