Navigate to a Point of Interest
For POIs that are in view on the map, you can easily use the Navigate
to Cursor command above; just use the cursor to select the POI.
Another method involves searching for POIs with the Find Map Places
command, launched with the
FIND
key. (See the searching example
earlier in this section, or turn to Sec. 6, Searching, for detailed instruc-
tions on POI searches.)
After you have looked up an item with the Find Map Places command,
use the

Creating and Saving a Trail
A trail, or plot trail, is a history of the path you have taken. On the
screen, trails are represented by a solid line extending from the back of
the current position arrow.
By default, the trail flashes once a second, making it easier to see
against the background map. With the default auto setting, iFINDER
creates a trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you
change directions. (The method used for creating a trail and the trail
update rate can both be adjusted in Advanced Mode. See Sec. 5 for
Trail Options.)
In Easy Mode, this unit automatically creates a plot trail when turned
on, and this trail is automatically saved in memory when the unit is
turned off. iFINDER continues recording the same trail until you "clear
the trail," which erases the old trail and starts creation of a new trail.
NOTE:
iFINDER can record up to 9,999 points per trail, which can be ad-
justed in Advanced Mode. The default setting is a maximum of
2,000 points. When trail length exceeds the maximum setting, the
unit begins recording the trail over itself.
In Advanced Mode, you can save and recall up to 10 different plot
trails, which can also be copied to your MMC for archiving.
