Find Feature - Garmin GPSMAP 182 Owner's Manual

Find Function
The FIND key allows you to search the units for user waypoints, map items and any optional
BlueChart or MapSource information loaded on a data card. By pressing the FIND key, the unit will
search for items from your current location by default or you may also search from other locations.
When you press FIND, a list of available items to search from will appear. The default items are
Waypoints, Cities, Tide Stations and Transportation. Additional items, such as Anchorages, Businesses,
Exits, Navaids, Restricted Areas, Wrecks Obstructions, etc., will display 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 will center 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 Find 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/MARK.
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. (See also page 35 sidebar for steps on entering a name.)
To Find a waypoint or item from other locations:
1 From the Map Page, use the ARROW KEYPAD to pan to the desired location and press FIND.
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight the desired category from the list and press ENTER/MARK.
The Find option supports a "fi nd from" feature which allows you to center your search around an
item which you have just found using the Find function. For example, you search for "Restricted Areas"
and the search shows an "Anchoring Prohibited" search result. If you press FIND again, you will see
"From Anchoring Prohibited" as the new search from point. You may also use the Find feature to center
your search from any waypoint or route list entry, map item or tide station. Highlight the item you want
to Find 'from', and press the FIND key.
