The Find Page

Using the Find Page
You can use the Find button (the one with a magnifying glass) to search for addresses, roads,
cities, points of interest, waypoints, geocaches, coordinates, and more. There are two Find search
options: Find Near Map Center, which is the default setting, or Find By Name.
Use the Find Near Map Center search option to search for categories of information, such as
geographic features, waypoints, points of interest, and more, near your current map center. The
number of search results returned is based on available search results, not on distance. Find Near
Map Center searches stop after 100 search results are found.
Use the Find By Name search option to search for a specific location, such as an address or point of
interest. To narrow your search results, you can choose either the Name Contains or Name Begins
With option to search for results that contain or begin with certain characters.
The first time you search, press MENU to set up your search. To change your Find search option,
press MENU. The available options are preceded by "Switch to." Highlight the option you want to
use and press ENTER. Your last search method is saved until you change it.
