Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position (or
last known position, when working indoors) to any map object or loca-
tion. Simply use the arrow keys to position the cursor over the object or
place. The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the data box
at the bottom of the map. Press
EXIT
to clear the cursor.
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 object.
On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.
You will also notice a black ring surrounds the item as it becomes selected.
Once that happens, if you press
FIND
the Find Menu will pop up with an
extra option at the top of the list:
