FIND Key

Find

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. By pressing the FIND key, the unit searches
for items from your current location by default or 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., display 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.

To Find a waypoint or other item from your current location:

1. From any page, press FIND.
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight the desired category from the list and press ENTER/MARK.
3. For Waypoints and Cities, you may search using ‘By Name’ or’ Nearest’. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to high-

light the desired tab. For ‘By Name’, you may use the top ﬁeld to spell out the name or scroll down through
the list. (See also page 39 sidebar for steps on entering a name.)

To Find a waypoint or item from other locations:

1. From the Map Page, use the ARROW KEYPAD to pan to the desired location and press FIND.
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight the desired category from the list and press ENTER/MARK.

The Find option supports a “ﬁnd from” feature, which allows you to center your search around an

item that you have just found using the Find function. For example, you search for ‘Restricted Areas” and
the search shows an “Anchoring Prohibited” search result. If you press FIND again, you will see “From
Anchoring Prohibited” as the new search from point. You may also use the Find feature to center your
search from any waypoint or route list entry, map item, or tide station. Highlight the item you want to
Find ‘from’, and press the FIND key.
