Lowrance electronic 350c manual Using the Name Filter

Page 59

The Find By menu allows you to customize searches.

The Find By menu allows you to force the iWAY to search by any of the methods described earlier, or by Name. Searching by Name al- lows you to find the closest Mobil, or the closest Texaco, if you have a preference. It's often used in Restaurant searching.

For our example, though, we'll assume we're running low on gas and need the first gas station available, so we’ll just use the iWAY’s default Find By setting, NEAREST.

The list of search results contains two entry fields at the top, and three columns across the bottom of the screen. The first column contains the location's name, and fills most of the screen. The contents of the second and third column depend whether or not you're currently navigating to a destination. If you're not navigating, you will see the distance and bearing from your current location (or cursor position) to the listed location. If you're already on a route, though, the iWAY will use these two columns to show the To Exit and From Exit distances to help you manage your trip.

Using the Name Filter

Sometimes a search returns far too many results to include the one you want, or maybe just more results than you feel like scrolling through. The Name Filter on the search results list helps you narrow down the list to just those items containing a particular set of letters.

To use the Name Filter, press anywhere inside the NAME FILTER field, and the virtual keyboard will appear. Type all or part of the name you are looking for, and press DONE. The iWAY will return to the previous list, but it will only show those locations whose names contain the text you entered in the Name Filter field.

For instance, a search for the nearest Restaurants may provide too long a list to be useful. You could significantly narrow the search by enter- ing the word "Taco" in the Name Filter field. This shows all the nearest Taco Bells, Taco Buenos, and any other restaurant nearby with "Taco" anywhere in the name, as shown in the following images.
