Eagle Electronics 642cDF manual Searching

Section 9: Searching

NOTE:

The background map loaded in your unit lets you 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 the detail is found in the background map and custom MapCreate maps, see page 94. Remember, our pre-made FreedomMaps contain all the same detail found in custom-made MapCreate maps.

This unit's search functions all begin with either the Find Waypoint 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, ad- dresses and highway exits.

Find Waypoint menu (left). Map Page menu (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 have not locked on to satel- lites, the unit looks near the last known position.

To search somewhere else, use the arrow keys to center the cursor crosshairs on the desired location. When the cursor is active, the unit always begins searching at the cursor location.
