Finding Locations
Another approach to routing is to find the location first. This is especially useful when you aren’t
sure of the location name or haven’t quite made up your mind yet.
Finding a Location Graphically
You can find a location graphically and then route to it. Let’s suppose you are driving east on I-80
somewhere near Fairfield and decide you need gas. Here is one way to proceed.
1. Select Tools > Find > All Places by Type. This will bring up the screen shown
below on the left. (Note that this screen also appears in the
“Quick Route” on
page 66 command description but the subsequent behavior is different.)
2. Select the radius you want to search or take the previous one you used. The check
marks indicate that there are entries for that category within the radius chosen.
3. Tap the Gas/Service Station icon.
4. A screen showing all the gas stations in the radius you chose will be shown. You
can tap any of them to find out what kind of station they are and their locations are
clearly shown on the map. Don’t forget to look at the small dots as well. These are
stations that are too close together to show the big icon. You can zoom or pan until
you find the one you like.
