Search for a Location

 

 

 

 

Search Near a Location 

You can tap the Near button to determine the location area, where you want to search for a specific place, 

such as a petrol station, hotel, or restaurant.  

The available options are listed below. 

Current Location 

Lets you search near your current location. This is the default value. 

Destination 

Lets you search near a specified destination. For example, you know your 

general destination, but not very much about interesting locations in the area. 
You can use Destinator to locate the tourist attractions close to your 

destination. Note that this button is enabled only when a destination is 

entered. 

Other Address 

Lets you search near another address. For example, you have set a 

destination, but on the way you want to stop at another location. You can use 
this feature to search near that location for restaurants, lodging, historical 

sites, or other locations. 

Search Radius 

Enter the location distance to search for a designated place. For example, if 

you enter 5 km, Destinator only searches within a five kilometre radius. 

When you select a large search radius, you risk the chance of finding too 
many locations, which makes it harder to find the place that you are searching 

for. It is best to start with a small search radius size, and then increase the 

radius size if necessary. 

Note: if you don’t specify a search radius, Destinator searches the whole 
map and displays the locations according to the distance from you. 

 

Show or Hide Symbol on Map 

You can add or remove the ticks next to a POI entry to show or hide the POI symbol on the Map. 

 

POI Actions 

When you have selected a POI location, tap the Actions button to display the commands listed below. 

Set as Origin 

 Lets you designate the selected location as the route origin. You would use this 

command when calculating a route from a point other than your current location. 
Tap the Free Map Browsing button to disconnect from the GPS receiver. 

Show on Map 

Lets you see the selected address on the map. 

Add to My Favourites 

Lets you add an address to your list of favourite locations, as shown in the figure 

below. For more information, see "My Favourites". 

Sort By ABC or 

Distance 

Lets you sort the entries of the selected category alphabetically or by distance from 

your current location. 

Note: Destinator initially displays the entries by distance. 

Send SMS 

If you are using a phone-enabled navigation device, you can send your current 
location in an SMS message. For more information, see "Sending an SMS 

Address (on page 33)". 

Information 

This button displays the location’s address information.
