Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor

Searching

Now that you've seen how the unit can find where you are, let's search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most powerful features in the Lowrance 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 at the top of the list, and the farthest at the bottom of the list. The nearest is highlighted.
