• You can also choose to show the distances and address in the search results.
Being able to sort the results by distance means it is easy to find the next filling station or
restaurant depending on whether the car or you are hungry.
THE SEARCH
Selecting a category or specific street data will cause the program to start searching as indicated by
the appearance of the spy glass icon. This icon will blink while the search is in progress.
• You can further limit the search with data in the third field. It is ok to add data while the
search icon is blinking.
• As soon as you see the data you want tap ok. When the search is complete the spy glass
icon will disappear.
Select the Origin menu on the command bar to tell the program where it is to search. You can
restrict the area based on the map view, the GPS location, or any of your favorite locations.
Searching for intersections is a two step process. First search for one street and the unit will offer
a list of choices for the second street that intersect the first. If you don’t see what you want, try
reversing the entries.
