name of the point of interest, its distance and direction from your current position, and its address.
Initially, the list shows all points in all categories, but you may restrict the list to more manageable
subsets.
To select categories of search results, follow these steps:
From the Search results screen, press Menu.
Pick Select Categories from the menu. Nearby Explorer responds with a list of categories. Each
item is a selectable checkbox, and they are all checked by default.
To clear all categories, press the Clear All button.
Check the categories of interest.
Press Back to return to the search results list that now matches the categories you selected.
To limit the items in the list to a word or a term you type, follow these steps:
1. Press Up Arrow until you get to the edit box.
2. Type a word that is in the name or address of the desired place.
3. Press Down Arrow to the Search Nearby Places button.
4. Press Select. Explorer responds by displaying a list that is restricted to items matching the term
you typed.
Search results are limited to an area with a radius of approximately 30 miles with the current position at
the center.
To search from another area, use one of the techniques to move the virtual map position to the vicinity
where you wish to search, and then search from there.
If you have a network connection, Nearby Explorer provides search results from the Google Places
service. The search results screen indicates the presence of a network connection by putting "Online" in
the search results title. It also puts the default radius for the search in the title. You may increase and
decrease the radius in the search results screen by pressing the right or left arrow keys.
Guidance and Directions
When you get a list of favorites or search results, you may obtain a list of directions to that location or
receive guidance as you travel to that point. These directions are optimized for either pedestrian or
vehicle travel. To select pedestrian directions, select Pedestrian from the Settings menu.
To get a list of directions, highlight the point of interest, then press Select. From the menu that appears,
pick Get Directions. Explorer responds with a list of directions. Each step provides a direction and
distance to the next maneuver in the route. As you move toward the destination, the distance and
direction of the first maneuver is updated, so it stays current. When you reach that point, the first
maneuver is removed from the list, and the second one becomes the now current next maneuver.
To be guided while you travel to the point, pick Set as Destination from the menu. Explorer responds by
putting the first step in the directions in the Nearby screen's Guidance field. It also checks the Guidance
field, so the next maneuver gets announced as you move. The information contains the current distance
and direction to the next maneuver. This information updates as you move.
You may change from pedestrian to vehicle at any time during the trip. To do so, go to Settings in the
