Section 6: Searching
NOTE:
The background map loaded in your unit lets you search for U.S. Inter-
state Highway exits and exit services, as well as some land features,
including cities and lakes. For a full set of searchable land features, in-
cluding landmarks, streets, addresses and Points of Interest, you must
load your own high-detail custom map produced with our MapCreate
software. For a complete description of what detail is found in the
background map and custom MapCreate maps, see the discussion
beginning on page 25.
Whether you are in Easy Mode or Advanced Mode, Atlas's search func-
tions all begin with the
FIND key, and the search menus work the same in
each mode. However, the Go Home command works only in Easy Mode
and the Find Waypoints command works only in Advanced Mode. (You
can still find a "Home" waypoint in Advanced mode — you just search for it
using the Find Waypoints command.)
Easy Mode Find menu, left; Advanced Mode Find menu, right.
NOTE:
You can search for items even if Atlas hasn't acquired a position yet,
or start from a position other than your own. When you do a search,
distance and bearing to the selected item will be calculated from At-
las's current position. If Atlas hasn't acquired a position, it will use the
last known position. If the cursor is active, Atlas will always begin the
search at the cursor. You can look up items by name, or search for the
item nearest to you.
