streets beginning with the word 'Abbey' but also all other points of interest. For example, this search
will also find the Abbey Visitor Centre in Bury St Edmunds, the Abbey Hill Golf Club in Milton Keynes
and many more. To narrow the search to one or more databases check the

Show categories

option.

A list now appears with three option.

All databases in Navigator are divided into three master categories -

Geographical features

,

Points of

interest

and

Roads and Streets

. To exclude an entire category from the search make sure to uncheck

it. To speed up the search for Abbey Road uncheck

Geographical features

and

Points of Interest

in

the list. Now Navigator will only look up the streets databases.

Notice that the amount of fields you can search has increased. You can now specify even the town in
which the street is located.

If, instead, you wanted to search for all golf clubs beginning with 'Abbey' then first uncheck all three
categories. Now expand the

Points of Interest

category by clicking the plus symbol next to it. This will

list all databases in that category. Scroll down until you see Golf Course and select it.
