Finding an Item
Use the Find menu to easily search the stored waypoints and points
of interest. To open the Find menu, press the FIND key.
The Find menu is comprised of several default categories:
Waypoints, Cities, Exits, Transportation, and Tide Stations.
Additional categories appear depending on the optional BlueChart or
MapSource data card in the unit.

Follow the directions on page 15 to search for an item near your
current location and then route to it.
Using the Find From Feature
The Find option also supports a “find from” feature that allows
you to center your search around an item you have just found. For
example, you search for Restricted Areas and the search shows an
“Anchoring Prohibited” search result. If you press FIND again, you
see “From Anchoring Prohibited” as the new search from point.
You can also use the Find feature to center your search from any
waypoint, route list entry, map item, or tide station. Highlight the
item you want to find from and press the FIND key.
To find an item from another
location on the map:
1. Open the Map Page. Use the ROCKER to pan the arrow
(pointer) to the location you want, and press FIND. The Find
menu opens, showing “From Map Pointer.” The list of items is
sorted to show items nearest the selected location.
2. Using the ROCKER, highlight a category from the list, and
press ENTER.
3. Using the ROCKER, highlight an item from the list, and press
ENTER. The item’s information page automatically opens,
allowing you to save the item as a waypoint, show the item
on the map, or automatically create a route to (Go To) the
item.
