Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor

1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and
find the item you wish to select.

2. Use the arrow keys and 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 GlobalMap 7000C 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. 6, Search-

ing.

NOTE:

This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included
with a high detail MapCreate 6 custom map.

appears, with the closest at the top of the list, and the farthest at the
bottom of the list. The nearest is highlighted.
