Searching

Now that you've seen how the GlobalMap can find where you are, let's
search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most
powerful features 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, Search-
