Section 6: Searching

NOTE:

The background map loaded in your unit lets you to search for U.S. Interstate Highway exits and exit services, as well as some land features, including cities and lakes. For a full set of searchable land features, including landmarks, streets, addresses and Points of In- terest, you must load your own high-detail custom map produced with our MapCreate 6 software. For a complete description of what detail is found in the background map and custom MapCreate maps, see page 30. (Remember, our pre-made FreedomMaps con- tain all the same detail found in custom-made MapCreate maps.)

This unit's varied search functions all begin with either the Find Way- point menu or the Map Page menu. Press WPT and the Find Waypoint menu appears for waypoints and Points of Interest (POI). From the Map Page, press MENU and the Map Page menu appears for streets, addresses and highway exits.

Find Waypoint menu (left) and the Map Page menu at right.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Our search commands let you look up items by name, or search for the item nearest to you. When you search, the unit looks for items in the vicinity of your current position. If you are using the unit in- doors, in simulator mode or otherwise haven't locked on to satel- lites, the unit looks near the last known position.

To search in some other location, use the arrow keys to center the map cursor where you want to look. When the cursor is active, the unit always begins searching at the cursor location.
