2.6 Finding POIs and Businesses
This section will show you how to find POIs and businesses using the Yellow Pages setting. This allows you to
search for over 12 million businesses and other POIs!
1. Select the Tools menu in the TeleType GPS program ( MENU on the PDA).
2.
Select Find . Press Yellow Pages (POI) . Here, you can do one of following:
•
You may do a search within a certain range (500 feet, 1 mile, 5 miles and 20 miles) of the point that you
are centered on. It is recommended that you do to this while zoomed in at a very close scale, so that
you see exactly where you are centered to avoid confusion.
•
Enter the name, city, state, and phone number information, if it is known. Searching by phone number
is also available to find the point of interest that you are seeking. Be sure not to over specify! Please
check the
Tips section for more details.
•
If you wish to find an address you have searched for previously, select History and choose an address
from the list.
If you choose the category 'Waypoints' from the Find Wizard, you can find
all of the Waypoints that are within your waypoint files. These can be
added in the same manner as an address or a Yellow Pages point.
3. Press
Find .
4.
From the list given, select the correct point of interest (usually the first), and press Go To . This will center
the screen on that selected POI and also make that POI a waypoint.
Wildcard searches are allowed to broaden or narrow your search. See
the help file on
Wildcards to learn more.
To search for points of interest such as museums, monuments and
parks, these can be found in the Landmarks category.
