The remaining five tabs on the waypoint information pages use a combination of internally-stored
data and optional MapSource data when installed on a cartridge. These additional file tabs provide
lookup and information display for cities, highway exits, points of interest (POI), addresses and
crossroads (intersection between two roads in the data). The following pages describe the available
information and any additional functions of these information pages.
CITY— displays city name, state or province, country, city size, heading to city (from current
position), distance to city (from current position), and position (latitude/longitude) of city.
City sizes include:
• Large City—approximate population is greater than 200,000
• Medium City—approximate population is greater than 50,000 (but less than 200,000)
• Small City—approximate population is greater than 5,000 (but less than 50,000)
• Small Town—approximate population is less than 5,000 or population size is unknown
