Find Key - Garmin GPSMAP 178C Owner's Manual

Find Key

The FIND key allows you to search the unit for user waypoints, map items, and any optional
BlueChart or MapSource information loaded on a data card. Press the FIND key to search for items
from your current location by default. You may also search from other locations. When you press
FIND, a list of available items to search for appears. The default items are Waypoints, Cities, Tide Sta-
tions, and Transportation. Additional items, such as Anchorages, Businesses, Exits, Navaids, Restricted
Areas, Wrecks, Obstructions, etc., are displayed depending on the optional BlueChart or MapSource
data card inserted into the unit. If you pan around on the Map Page and press FIND, the unit centers
its search from the point where the cursor is located. When using BlueChart or MapSource data, your
position or the map pointer must be within the map outline area to search for information from that
area.
To fi nd a waypoint or other item from your current location:
1 From any page, press FIND.
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight the desired category from the list and press ENTER.
3. For Waypoints and Cities, you may search using 'By Name' or' Nearest'. Use the ARROW KEYPAD
to highlight the desired tab. For 'By Name', you may use the top fi eld to spell out the name or scroll
down through the list.
To fi nd a waypoint or item from another location:
1. Once the search results list is displayed for a particular item, press MENU.
2. Highlight 'Nearest to Other' and press ENTER. If you are actively following a route, you may also
choose 'Nearest to Next' or 'Nearest to Destination'.

nearest to the new map position.
