Section 9:
Searching
NOTE:
The Search function depends on the type of map data loaded in
your unit. LCX HD models are fully "searchable" out of the box
because they contain a hard drive loaded with complete mapping
information. These maps include all the data contained in our
MapCreate custom maps, Fishing Hot Spots lake maps and
NauticPath coastal charts.
For all other units, the background map loaded in your unit's
permanent memory lets you search for some land features,
including cities and lakes. For a full set of searchable land features,
including landmarks, streets, addresses, highway exits and Points
of Interest, you must load your own high-detail custom map
produced with our MapCreate software. Or, you can use one of our
plug and play map options such as FreedomMaps, Fishing Hot
Spots or NauticPath. For a complete description of what detail is
found in the background map and custom MapCreate maps, see
page 37.
The unit's variety of search functions all begin with either the Find
Waypoint menu or the Map Page menu. Press
WPT
and the Find
Waypoint menu appears for waypoints and Points of Interest (POI).
From the Map Page, press
MENU
and the Map Page menu appears with
search options for streets, addresses and highway exits.
Find Waypoint menu (left) and Map Page menu (right).
NOTE:
You can search for items after the unit has acquired a position or
while using it in the simulator mode. Distance and bearing to the
selected item will be calculated from the unit's current position or
the last known position. You can look up items by name, or search
for the nearest location.
