Selecting Any Map Item with the Cursor

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 WPT↓ to POI-RESTAURANTS.

2.You could search the entire restaurant category, but in this example

we will narrow our search. Press → to SUBCATEGORY column↓ to FAST

FOOD CHAINSENT↓ to NEARESTENT.

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.
