Navigate to a Point of Interest
For POIs that are in view on the map, you can use the Navigate to Cur-
sor command above. Use the cursor to select the POI.
Another method involves searching for POIs by pressing the
FIND key
and selecting
MAP PLACES. (See the searching example earlier in this sec-
tion, or turn to Sec. 6, Searching, for detailed instructions on POI
searches.)
After you have selected
MAP PLACES and pressed ENT, a list of map cate-
gories will appear. Use ↓ ↑ to highlight a category and press
ENTER.
The
FIND BY MENU will appear with two options from which to choose:
NAME and NEAREST. Select NEAREST and press ENT. A list of locations will
appear with the one nearest you highlighted at the top. Press
ENT, then
press ← to make sure the
GO TO command is highlighted at the bottom
of the screen. Now press
ENT. The iFINDER begins showing navigation
information to the item.
To cancel navigation, press
MENU|↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION|ENT|← to
YES|ENT. The iFINDER stops showing navigation information.
Creating and Saving a Trail
A trail, or plot trail, is a history of the path you have taken. On the
screen, trails are represented by a solid line extending from the back of
the current position arrow.
With the default auto setting, the iFINDER creates a trail by placing a
dot (trail point) on the screen every time you change directions. (The
method used for creating a trail and the trail update rate can both be
adjusted in Advanced Mode. See Sec. 5 for Trail Options.)
In Easy Mode, this unit automatically creates a plot trail when turned
on. The trail is saved in memory when the unit is turned off. The
iFINDER continues recording the same trail until you clear the trail,
which erases the old trail and starts creation of a new trail.
NOTE:
The iFINDER can record up to 9,999 points per trail, which can be
adjusted in Advanced Mode. The default setting is a maximum of
2,000 points. When trail length exceeds the maximum setting, the
unit begins recording the trail over itself.
In Advanced Mode, you can save and recall up to 10 different plot
trails, which can be copied to your MMC for archiving.
Caution:
You also have the option of turning off trail recording in Ad-
vance Mode. If the option is left off when you switch modes, you
