If there is not a check mark by your choice you may want to increase the radius. This is a quick way to choose from among your favorite categories and will only offer choices that are within a prescribed radius of your location (or an origin that you choose). As shown the check marks indicate that there is an entry for that category available. The search radius can be defined from ¼ mile to 20 miles in approximately 2X increments using the Radius menu on the command bar. The value is remembered once it is set. 66 Specific Step by Step flows can be seen in Chapter 7, "Step-by-Step" on page 73. It is not possible to show all of the categories in the database but this screen can be customized to show the ones you wish. If you tap and hold on the category you will be able to change the category to any of those available in the database.

The category list even includes those from your own Landmark database. · · · The Find Approach The Find approach is used when you wish to find and display the object on the screen and then call the router.

Once you have found the object you are interested in it will be shown on the map. You can tap it and then tap the description to set it to the starting point or the destination.

The favorites button choice will kick off a route to the favorite location. The Find > all places by Type choice brings up the same screen and holding the Detour button down for a second.

This is a great way to just scan through the "yellow pages" 67 WayPoint Navigation · graphically for something you might like. The map will appear with all the points of interest for that category highlighted with their icons. See "Step-by-Step" on page 73 for examples showing the use of most of these search choices. Your personal locations can be searched as well although they are not on the find menu.
