Find Places; Menu Options - Memory-map Adventurer 3500 User Manual

Finding a location by name
If you know the name of a location you can jump straight to it by using the Find Place feature. Enter the
Extended Menu then Overlay & Settings and select Find Place from the drop-down menu.
The Find Place search works on a filter, so the more letters of the place you search for the less results there
will be to look through. For example if you typed "Bir" then the search would return hundreds of places all with
"Bir" in the name. If you searched for "Birmingham", however, then fewer results will be returned allowing you
to quickly locate the place you were searching for.
To search for a place tap in the Find box and then tap the Kbd button in the bottom corner to bring up the
onscreen keyboard. Now, type in your search and then press the - -> button to perform the search. The results
will be displayed below.
To display the location on the map simply double tap its name in the list. If you want to automatically drop a
mark at the location as well make sure the Create Mark box is ticked first.
Finding a location by grid reference
If you know the grid reference (or Latitude / Longitude) of a location then you can display it using the Find
Place feature. Follow the steps above to enter the Find Place menu and tap in the Coordinates box. Bring up
the keyboard and type in the grid reference you want to locate, e.g. SU 62392 51191. Press the Enter key on
the keyboard and the location will be displayed on the map. If you want to place a mark at the chosen location
make sure the Create Mark box is ticked first.
Additional Memory-Map Options
Tapping the Extended Menu followed by Overlay & Settings brings up the drop-down menu providing
access to additional options and settings.
