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. 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 unit can find where you are, let's search
for something 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 Sec. 9, Searching.

NOTE:

This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included
with a high detail MapCreate 6 custom map.

After the unit has acquired a position:

1. Press

we will narrow our search. Press

3. The unit says it is calculating, then a list of restaurants appears,
with the closest location listed at the top of the list and the location
farthest from you positioned at the bottom of the list. The nearest is
highlighted.
