Using the Find Menu
The Find Feature provides you with a method for searching for Cities
and Exits, which are included in the eTrex Vista C basemaps. If you have
downloaded Garmin MapSource mapping data that contains additional
map detail, you can search for Points of Interest, Addresses and Intersec-
tions. If you download BlueChart
items such as Wrecks and Obstructions, NAVAIDS, and Anchorages.
If this additional data is not loaded, these options are not available.
Waypoints and Geocache Points are items you can create and add to the
Find Menu.
Searching for a map item is simplifi ed because the map database is
separated into groups, which are shown as icons on the Find Menu Page.
• When you access a Find group list, by default it will contain only
those items near your current location or the Panning Arrow (if active).
• To save effort in searching again for an item already found, you can
use the "Recent Finds" group, which contains a list of 50 last found
items of all categories.
The options menu for each map item group offers its own unique
search options such as "Find By Name," "Find Nearest," "Select Symbol"
(for Waypoints), "Change Reference" (by moving the map Panning Arrow
to a new location), "Nearest Containing" (a key word you enter) and "Select
Category" (for those groups such as Food and Drink, Lodging, etc.). Using
these options can effectively shorten your search.
