Searching

Now that you have seen how the iFINDER can find where you are, let's
search for something else. Searching is one of the most powerful fea-
tures in the Lowrance GPS product line.
In this example, we'll look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For more
information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Searching.
NOTE:
This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included
with a high-detail MapCreate 6 custom map.
After the iFINDER has acquired a position:
1. Press |↓ to

2. You could search the entire restaurant category, but in this example
we will narrow our search. Sub Category will already be highlighted, so
press → to

You can also change the Subcategory in the Find By Nearest menu
by scrolling down to the subcategory and pressing
keys to select the desired category and press
listed at the top of the menu. Press
