Find Key
The FIND key allows you to search the units for user waypoints, map items, and any optional
BlueChart or MapSource information loaded on a data card. Press the FIND key to search for items
from your current location by default. You may also search from other locations. When you press FIND,
a list of available items to search from appears. The default items are Waypoints, Cities, Tide Stations,
and Transportation. Additional items, such as Anchorages, Businesses, Exits, Navaids, Restricted Areas,
Wrecks, Obstructions, etc., are displayed depending on the optional BlueChart or MapSource data card
inserted into the unit. If you pan around on the Map Page and press FIND, the unit centers its search
from the point where the cursor is located. When using BlueChart or MapSource data, your position or
the map pointer must be within the map outline area to search for information from that area.

2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight the desired category from the list and press ENTER.
