Finding a Location on the Map
105
Select an appropriate keyword from the Keywords drop-down list examples and
history.
5. Type the distance you want to search in the Distance text box. Type the number of
miles followed by "mi" — for example, 5 mi.
6. Select From Map Center or Along Current Route.
7. Click Search. If your search is:
Very Successful–The results list displays and, if there is one excellent
match, the map centers on that place and a yellow box displays at the
location of the POI match.
Successful–The results list displays. Scroll or browse through the list of
search results until you find the one you want to locate. To center an item on
the map, double-click it or select it and then click Go To.
Tips
• Single click an item in the results list to highlight it on the map without adding a
MapTag or centering it in the map view. For more information on viewing results, see
Tips on Viewing Search Results.
• Use the right-click feature to copy search result information to the clipboard; center a
search result on the map (go to); select all search results; add a result as a MapTag,
MapNote, Detailed MapNote, Waypoint, or Address Book entry; or assign it a start, stop,
or finish in a route. Just right-click a search result and click the option you want.
Finding Points Near Your Current Location
Use the GPS Radar option on the Find tab to search for points of interest (POIs) such as gas
stations, restaurants, accommodations, rest areas, and so on near your current location (if
tracking with a GPS) or near the current map center when viewing another location.
You can also search for waypoints. If you enable voice reporting on
the Find tab in the
Options dialog box, you can hear the nearest search result. Once you find the waypoint or
POI you want, you can use the GPS Radar subtab to center the map on the route on that
point or POI and get directions to it.
What you need to know
• Before you start, set your Find preferences in the Options dialog.
• A GPS Radar search finds items that are the shortest driving distance from your current
location—within just a few miles. Unless you select the Only in Direction of Travel
check box, some of the search results may be behind you. GPS radar calculates a route
to each point and the fastest destination for you to drive to is listed first. If you are on a
one-way road or freeway, GPS Radar takes into account the fact that you need to drive
further to get off at an exit. You can click each item in the result list to see each option,
to highlight the route to each destination, and to see a description of each one as well
as driving directions. This should help you choose the best one for your needs.
• The time required for a GPS Radar search varies by the distance, density of objects in
the area, the categories chosen, and whether you are searching only in the direction of
travel.
• In GPS tab view, click the Interrupt button to interrupt a long search and see a
listing of the nearby points. Driving directions will not be provided.
• In GPS NavMode, GPS Radar results display in an orange status bar at the bottom of
the map area and long searches are automatically interrupted; click the More Info
