WayPoint Navigation
• Finding a Restaurant is usually one that you would want to keep.
• Route to nearest can be really useful for getting to a hospital or the closest police station.
• The category list even includes those from your own Landmark database.
The Find Approach
The Find approach is used when you wish to find and display the
object on the screen and then call the router. This method is a little
more flexible if you aren’t sure which of the many locations in a
chain of stores you really want.
Many of the most used find commands plus a list of your favorite
locations are available from the signpost icon on the command
bar. All of the choices are available from the menu.
Click Tools > Find to bring up the menu of the full find options.
Once you have found the object you are interested in it will be
shown on the map. You can tap it and then tap the description to set it to the starting point or
the destination.
Find > Latitude/Longitude is useful for looking at a location that matches a paper map.
Find > Favorites is one of the choices on this menu. The favorites list can be managed with this
command. Items can be moved around or deleted. The Favorites list is also available by pressing
the favorites button. The favorites button choice will kick off a route to the favorite location.
The Find > All places by Type choice brings up the same screen and holding the Detour
button down for a second. However, in this case it will bring up a map showing nearby locations
that match the category chosen. This is a great way to just scan through the “yellow pages”
graphically for something you might like. Just set up a radius and then select the type you want.
The map will appear with all the points of interest for that category highlighted with their icons.
See “Step-by-Step” on page 65 for examples showing the use of most of these search choices.
Your personal locations can be searched as well although they are not on the find menu. Use
Tools > Landmarks > Show locations to bring them up. You can select categories similar to
the ones for points of interest or you can make up your own. Items can be edited or click to
‘goto’ to center the location on the screen. It is then a simple matter to make it the destination
using tap and hold.
Once you have used find to pick your spot you can tap the detour button to bring up the
Find Route form. It will have the destination you selected already filled in. Alternately you can
use the Navigation > Find route command to automatically route to it by tapping ok.
