Searching

Now that you've seen how iFINDER can find where you are, let's search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most powerful new 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. 6, Searching.

NOTE:

This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included with a FreedomMap or a high-detail MapCreate custom map.

After iFINDER has acquired a position:

1.Press FINDto MAP PLACESENTto POI-RESTAURANTS.

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

we will narrow our search. Press to FAST FOOD CHAINSENTENT.

At left, the Category Selection menu,

with a list of the nearest restaurants at right.

3.iFINDER 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.
