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 3200 can find where

you are,

let's search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most
powerful features in the Eagle 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
