The selected wreck (the Empress) to the southeast is 12.81 miles away.
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 ob-
ject. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.
Tip:
This unit has a Cursor Undo feature that lets you instantly return
to the previous location without scrolling. Use the cursor to scroll
across the map to some far away location or waypoint. Press
EXIT
to
clear the cursor and jump back to your current position on the map.
When you want to take another peek at that distant place, just
press
EXIT
again. You can use this trick to toggle between your cur-
rent position and your destination.
Searching
Now that you have seen how the unit can find your current location,
let's search for something else. Searching is one of the most powerful
features in the Eagle GPS product line.
In this example, we will look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For
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.
