GETTING STARTED: A Tutorial

The tutorial below guides you through the steps for finding a restaurant in your area and then creating a route to it. If you have never used a StreetPilot or a GPS navigation unit before, try this simple task. You’ll see that using your StreetPilot is fast and easy.

Step 1: If you have not already done so, attach the vehicle adaptor to your StreetPilot and plug it in to your vehicle’s cigarette lighter. Turn on the StreetPilot so that it can find

satellites. When your StreetPilot has established a satellite fix, your screen should display a “Ready to Navigate” message, as shown below:

Note: Make certain your StreetPilot’s view is unobstructed as it looks for satellites. For example, it cannot establish a satellite fix if your vehicle is parked in a garage.

Step 2: Press the FIND key on the StreetPilot. The Find menu will appear:

press the FIND key

then, touch the Food & Drink icon

Introduction

USING THE STREETPILOT IN SIMULATOR MODE

Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the routing features of the StreetPilot by practicing creating routes in simulator mode.

Simulator mode only works when the GPS navigation is turned off. To do this, press the MENU key on the StreetPilot. When the Menu page appears, select the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. GPS will be turned off. Now, when you create a route, the unit asks if you want to simulate driving the route. Select Yes, and the StreetPilot gives driving instructions for the entire route.

vi

Manual Conventions

This manual refers to the StreetPilot as a “StreetPilot,” “unit,” or “GPS receiver.” It makes no distinction between these terms. “StreetPilot” refers to both the 2620 and 2660 models unless specifically stated.

This manual uses the term “Map page” when referring to pages that have maps. In all other instances, the terms “page,” “screen,” and “window” are used interchangeably.

This manual uses the words “button” and “key” interchangeably.

This manual uses the term “press” when you need to activate the keys on the StreetPilot or on the remote control.

Although you can either touch the screen to activate commands or use the remote control, most instructions in this manual assume that you are using the touchscreen.

This manual uses “touch” and “select” interchangeably. When asked to touch or select an icon or tab, simply tap the icon or tab with your finger. Or, press in on the thumb stick that is located on your remote control. Practice using the remote control unit to improve your accuracy when activating commands. See page 4 to learn how to use it.

OPERATE YOUR STREETPILOT IN “SAFE MODE” WHILE DRIVING

Your StreetPilot is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’ feature to improve driver safety. By default, this feature is enabled, but it can be turned off to allow a passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot functions which require significant operator attention and may become a distraction to use while driving.

)NOTE: If you have previously registered a Garmin product purchase, we invite you to reregister using our online system. Many services provided by our new product registration system are now being automated and re-registering your purchase ensures you the best possible support from Garmin.

Caring for your StreetPilot

Introduction

Cleaning the Case and Remote Control

Maintenance

The StreetPilot 2620/2660 case and remote are constructed of high quality materials and do not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the touchscreen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.

Cleaning the Touchscreen

The StreetPilot 2620/2660 touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation. Although a PDA stylus may also be used to operate touchscreen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result. The touchscreen should be cleaned using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If these are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touchscreen with the moistened cloth.

Storage

Do not store the StreetPilot 2620/2660 where prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may occur (such as in the trunk of a car) as permanent damage may result.

Storing alkaline batteries in the remote control for extended periods is not recommended. In order to reduce the chance for battery leakage in the battery compartment, remove the batteries when storing the remote control for more than six months.

Caring for the Pre-Programmed Hard Drive

Your StreetPilot 2620/2660 comes with an internal pre-programmed hard drive. As with any hard drive, excessive shock and vibration may cause permanent damage. To minimize the risk of damage to your hard drive, avoid dropping your unit or operating it in high shock/vibration environments.

2

Turning the StreetPilot On and Off

Toggle the power switch on the right side down to turn the unit ON and up to turn it OFF. When turned on, the Welcome screen appears briefly, followed by the Map Information and Copyright page. Touch OK on the screen to acknowledge, or wait briefly until the Safe Driving Warning Message page appears. Touch OK once more or wait until the Map page appears.

Using the Keypad

Use the StreetPilot’s keypad to select specific tasks such as finding places or creating routes. Each keypad button’s primary function appears in larger text above the secondary function. Always press and release a key to perform its primary function. Press and hold a key to activate its secondary function (if available). For example, if you press the MENU/ROUTE key, a Menu page will appear. If you press and hold the MENU/ROUTE key for more than two seconds, a Routes page will appear.

PAGE/MARK Key — PAGE switches between a variety a pages that you can view on your StreetPilot. It also returns you to a main page if you have previously selected an option window. Thus, if you want to exit out of a current page option, press PAGE. MARK captures your present position and saves it as a waypoint.

MENU/ROUTE Key — MENU displays a menu of options for your current page. It also displays sub-menu options. ROUTE displays a menu of available route navigation features.

FIND/RECENT Key — FIND allows you to search for cities, hotels, restaurants, banks, and a host of other places. RECENT allows you to view a list of places you have recently found.

SPEAK/VOLUME Key — SPEAK triggers your StreetPilot’s “voice” to repeat the next turn or current destination while you are navigating a route. VOLUME displays an adjustment slide on the page to change the speaker volume.

Introduction

Keypad Usage

Activate the primary functions (PAGE, MENU, FIND, SPEAK) by pressing the key once.

Activate the secondary functions (MARK,

ROUTE, RECENT, VOLUME) by pressing and holding down the key.

Using the Touchscreen

The StreetPilot 2620/2660’s touchscreen features allow you to make menu selections, position the map pointer, scroll through menu selections, and enter data with the touch of your finger.

To use the touchscreen control, touch the desired object on the screen with your finger, applying just enough pressure to activate the function. It is not necessary to apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen. If the Touchscreen Tone setting is set to ON, you will hear a click from the speaker with every finger press. If you sense that the touchscreen is not responding properly, it may need to be calibrated.

Calibrating the Touchscreen

To calibrate the touchscreen:

1.Press the remote or unit MENU key. Select ‘Display.’

2.Press the remote or unit FIND key to begin calibration. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Using the Remote Control

The StreetPilot 2620/2660’s alphanumeric remote control allows you to perform functions similar to the unit’s keypad controls. You will notice only subtle differences between the two. As on the keypad, the remote control features PAGE, MENU, FIND, and SPEAK keys. Thus, you can use them the same way you use the keypad. Similarly, press and hold each key in order to use each key’s secondary function (MARK, ROUTE,

RECENT, and VOLUME).

The remote differs from the keypad in that it has additional function keys that allow you to quickly enter data and perform other operations on the unit:

(ZOOM) IN Key — Zooms in to adjust the Map page scale to show a smaller area with more detail.

(ZOOM) OUT Key — Zooms out to adjust the Map page scale to show a larger area with less detail.

QUIT Key — Returns the display to your previous page (much like the “Back” button on an Internet browser window). Also, when you are entering data, pressing QUIT restores the previous value (cancels data entry).

ROUTE Key— Displays a menu of available route navigation features.

THUMB STICK — Selects menu options, changes settings, and enters data. Also it controls movement of the map pointer on the Map page. Press in (or down) on the thumb stick to select or activate a highlighted item or to begin data entry. Move the thumb stick from side to side for moving around the Map page. Use this feature as an alternative to using your finger on the touchscreen. Practice using it to increase your accuracy.

ALPHANUMERIC KEYS — Used when you wish to enter numbers for values such as an address or waypoint name. These keys can be used in conjunction with the thumb stick. For letters, press the appropriate number key as many times as necessary to get to the correct letter. The number will appear after the last letter option has been shown. For example, if you wish to input the letter B, press the number 2 key twice. If you wish to input the number 2, press the number 2 key four times. When you have selected the correct letter or number, pause, and the unit will automatically advance

the cursor to the next character. Note that the 1 key only accepts one press and SPACE/0 only accepts two key presses.

In order for the remote to operate properly, be sure to point the IR (infrared) window on the remote towards the unobstructed IR window on the left front of the StreetPilot.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume

To adjust the external speaker volume:

1.Press and hold the SPEAK/VOLUME key. A speaker volume adjustment page appears.

2.Adjust the speaker volume by moving the slider’s thumb up or down with either your finger (on the touchscreen) or by pressing the thumb stick up or down once the scroll box appears. The loudest setting is ten; the softest setting is one. Each press activates the audio number. All the way down turns off the speaker. (Alternatively, volume can be cycled between three settings by repeatedly pressing the SPEAK/VOLUME key from this screen. The three settings are volume off, user setting, and maximum volume.)

3.When finished, touch the X on the touchscreen or press in once on the thumb stick.

Introduction

Installing the Remote Control

Batteries

)The remote control requires two AAA alkaline batteries. To install the batteries, press up on the battery door clip, then pull the battery door away from the remote. Install the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see the inside compartment). Replace the cover.

Using the Map Page

USING YOUR STREETPILOT INDOORS

Your StreetPilot unit cannot

)acquire satellites from inside a building. Thus, you may want to consider setting your unit to ‘Use Indoor’ status. To do this, press the MENU key on your

unit. You will see a Menu page that includes a variety of setup options. Select the Use Indoors icon.

Learning how to use the Map Page

The Map page is your StreetPilot’s main operating page. This page is the first image you see after the startup screens, and it’s what you view as you navigate to a destination. Many features make up the Map page. Whether you’re navigating a route or simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on, you will see a map that displays your current location as well as surrounding street detail. Additionally, depending on your current driving mode, tabs that appear on the Map page will provide such information as your current speed, your driving direction, and names of upcoming streets. You can look beyond your current position by “panning,” or moving around the Map page. You can also zoom into locations to view greater street detail or you can zoom out to see what’s ahead on your route.

This section shows the many types of Map page views as well as how to use the features on the Map page. Practice using these features before navigating an actual route so that you can quickly understand what you are seeing on the Map page and thus limit time looking away from the road while driving.

Viewing the Map Page for the First Time

When you turn on your StreetPilot for the first time, you see a map image as well as a tab which shows that the StreetPilot is attempting to locate satellites. Once your StreetPilot locates the satellites, it establishes a “fix” on your location. It is then ready to navigate and you are ready to begin.

When you turn on your StreetPilot, it searches for satellites.

Once the satellites have been acquired, your StreetPilot is ready to navigate.

Touch the screen anywhere with your finger and move it around to view a variety of locations on your StreetPilot.

6

Using the Map Page Features

The Map page comes with many useful features that can help you as you view cities or places, and as you navigate routes. If you are a new StreetPilot owner, practice using these features while your vehicle is stationary.

Map Tools Bar

The StreetPilot comes with a “map tools” bar, which is a series of icons on the left-hand side of the Map page that enable you to zoom in to and out of the current areas shown on your Map page. To activate the map tools bar, simply touch any part of the Map page and the map tools bar will appear:

The zoom icons feature a “+” magnifying glass that allows you to zoom in to an area on your Map page, and a “-” magnifying glass that lets you zoom out of an area. The panning hand allows you to move around the Map page by touching the screen (touchscreen) with your finger; this action is called “panning.” Panning allows you to “move” the viewing area on the Map page in order to view areas beyond the

displayed area. The white arrow, or “map pointer,” serves as a target marker and provides information for a specific location or object if any is available. The black triangle, or “vehicle icon,” shows your current physical location on the Map page. While in panning mode, the data tabs on the right of the screen are hidden.

In addition to zooming in to or out of the Map page, you can also define a particular area to enlarge on the Map page by drawing a “box” on the touchscreen, then lifting your finger from the screen. Before you can do this, make certain the boxed magnifying glass icon is showing at the bottom of the map tools bar, as shown in the diagram below. If the map tools bar displays a hand, simply touch the hand and the boxed magnifying glass icon will appear.

Use your finger to draw a box on the Map page.

The boxed-in area will be zoomed in to show greater detail.

boxed magnifying glass icon

map scale

North Up and Track Up

Map orientation icons appear at the top left side of the Map page. They show how roads appear on your Map page. North Up shows your Map page with North always at the top, as if you were reading a paper map. Thus, as

you are driving, the vehicle icon on your Map page will move to the left if you are going West, right if you are going East, and so forth. With Track Up, your Map page shifts so that your direction

of travel always appears at the top of the Map page. Thus, if you are headed South, the Map page will shift so that South appears at the top of the Map page. Change the orientation from North Up

to Track Up (or vice versa) by touching the orientation icon. Note that the map tools bar must be hidden before you can change these icons.

Map Scale

A map scale appears on the lower left of the Map page. It shows you the current zoom level showing on the Map page (such as 500 miles, .8 miles, or 200 feet) as well as what map your StreetPilot is using to create the current image. Your StreetPilot includes a “base map” and a “detail map.” The base map provides only general information such as city names and highway exits. The detail map includes specific details such as businesses, parks, and other points of interest. Thus, if you are viewing Denver at a map scale of 800 feet, your StreetPilot will display information from its base map. The map scale will switch from “base map” to “detail map” as you continue to zoom in to Denver.

If you continue to zoom in to Denver or any city, “overzoom” will appear on the map scale. Displaying at around 500 - 300 feet, “overzoom” indicates that the current scale exceeds the optimum resolution of available map detail. Some detail, such as roads, are drawn using widelyspaced points and the actual layout of these details may differ from the map presentation.

As was discussed earlier in this section, you can pan across the Map page by using the touchscreen with your finger or by using your remote control. As you pan, the map pointer appears. It serves as a target marker for the map. If you change the scale, the map is redrawn with the pointer at the center. When the pointer is placed on a map object, the name of that object is highlighted and an “i” (Information) icon appears in the upper right corner.

When the “i” icon appears, touch it and information about the object or location to which your are pointing will appear.

The Map page shows the panning arrow (circled) which is highlighting a point of interest.

In the example above, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis has been highlighted. Touch the “i” icon, and the information page at right appears. The page displays information about the Gateway Arch as well as feature options.

From the information page, you can touch Show Map to show a

different Map page, as shown below. This page includes coordinates as well as the Arch’s distance and bearing from your current physical location.

This view of the Gateway Arch appears when you touch Show Map. The coordinates of the Arch appear at top right. The Arch’s distance and bearing from your current physical location appear at top left.

From the information page, you can also touch Go To to create a route to the Arch. A Route Preference window will appear. Once you select a preference, your StreetPilot will create a route to the Arch. (See Creating your own Routes, page 28, for more information on creating routes)

Waypoints

As was discussed on the previous page, an “i” icon appears as the Map pointer hovers over an existing map object such as a business, park, lake, church, or other point of interest. When the Map pointer points to an area where no map data exists, a flag icon appears in the upper right side of the Map page:

When the map pointer is not placed on an object, a flag icon appears in the upper right-hand corner. Touch the icon to create a new waypoint. You can also create a route to it.

If you decide that this is an area you want to remember (perhaps it is a particular location on a lake or in a National Park), you can mark this area by creating a waypoint for it. Touch the flag icon and a New Map Waypoint will appear, as shown below. The coordinates for the marked area are displayed. A random number also appears. If you wish to name it something else, touch the current name (011) and a mini keyboard page will appear, allowing you to type in a new name. You can also touch the icon to the left of the name to change the icon.

Touch the blue dot icon to reveal a scrollable list of colorful icons to use to mark your waypoint.

Touch the 011 text to display a new screen that serves as a mini keyboard. Use this keyboard to enter a new name for the waypoint.

Reference

Using the Mini Keyboard

The mini keyboard shown above appears when you wish to change the name of the waypoint as discussed in this section. Touch the letters to spell out a name. To use numbers, touch the 0-9 tab and numbers will appear. The Space, <, >, and Delete keys use standard word processing functions. When you have entered all text, touch OK.

The mini keyboard is used in a variety of places with your StreetPilot. It’s appearance may alter, depending on your purpose for using it. On some mini keyboards, letters or numbers that are not needed will not appear on your keyboard.

Map page in routing mode

Although the information varies slightly between a Map page in driving mode and one in routing mode, you can use the features discussed in this section for both Map page types. Note that the Next Turn page and Current Route pages only appear when you are in routing mode.

Viewing the Map Page While Driving

Map Pages in Driving and Routing Mode

While driving, you will see one of two types of Map pages: a Map page in “driving” mode, which appears when you have the StreetPilot turned on but you are not navigating a route, and a Map page in “routing” mode, which appears when you have created a route and are currently navigating to it.

In driving mode, the Map page shows map details, the map scale, and your current location. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to show your speed, current direction of travel, address of your current position, and the name of the next road ahead.

In routing mode, the Map page displays more information. It graphically shows you map details and your current location, and it marks your route to a destination with a magenta-colored route line. It tells you what direction to go as well as the direction in which you are traveling. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to display information such as your speed, the distance you have traveled, distance to the next turn, time remaining before reaching the next turn, and more.

Map Scale

 

Both types of Map pages display a vehicle icon which indicates your present position and direction of movement as a triangular icon in the center of the map. Depending upon your map scale setting, you can see a variety of geographic detail such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns.

If you would like to see more detail at your current driving position, or if you would like to see a broader view of the area, you can change the Map scale to zoom in to or out of your current position as the Map page continues to follow the vehicle icon. Simply touch the map scale and the map tools bar will appear. Use the zoom icons (+ or - magnifying glasses) to select your new detail level. To return to the previous page, simply touch the white arrow at the top of the map tools bar. Note that you can use this feature whether you are in driving or in routing mode.

In the example above, your current driving position always appears on the Map page. Another StreetPilot feature allows you to “look ahead” on the Map page so that you can view areas beyond your current position, but without interrupting the function of the Map page. Simply touch any area on the Map page EXCEPT for the map scale. As in the example above, the map tools bar will appear. The differences are that the map pointer will also appear on the Map page, and the Map page itself will stay stationary until you move (pan) the Map page. The vehicle icon will continue to move along your route, but you will be able to move beyond your current position as you pan.

Next Turn Page

Your StreetPilot safely navigates you through roundabouts, interstate traffic, and all other types of road navigation.

The NEXT TURN page announces the same instructions for an upcoming turn 3 times:

·Immediately after you make a turn, the Next Turn page announces the next upcoming turn, as well as the distance to that turn. Thus, if the next turn is not for 20 miles, you do not need to worry about navigation instructions for quite a while.

·As you are close to approaching the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page appears again. This message is announced in order to alert you to change lanes if necessary and start looking for signs in anticipation of the upcoming turn.

·Just before the upcoming turn, the Next Turn page appears one last time for that particular turn. You should be in view of the turn.

Touch anywhere on the Map page (except the map

scale) to activate the map tools bar and map pointer,

 

and hide the data tabs.

 

Use this feature whether you are simply driving with your StreetPilot turned on (driving Map page) or navigating a route (routing Map page). To return to the Map page with the original navigation so that you can see the vehicle icon, touch the arrow in the top left corner.

Next Turn Page

As you are driving during an active route, the Map page continues to display in routing mode until your StreetPilot alerts you that you are near a turn. When this happens, a Next Turn page appears. It provides a graphic visual and gives text instructions, as shown below:

An added bonus to the Next Turn feature is that the StreetPilot “voice” announces upcoming turns. Thus, if you cannot safely view the Next Turn page, you can hear the directions.

The Next Turn page above disappears after a few seconds and then the page which you were previously viewing will reappear. If you wish to clear the Next Turn page and return to the previous page, press PAGE (you can also press QUIT on the remote). If you wish to see the Next Turn page again, simply press SPEAK and it will reappear. You will also be able to hear the announcement.

When you are not navigating a route, the Next Turn page is no longer available.

Current Route Page

Still another bonus while navigating a route is the Current Route page, which provides step-by-step route instructions, all on one page. Simply press PAGE from your StreetPilot (or from the remote control) and the Current Route page appears:

Scroll bar

The bottom number gives the approximate time that you should

reach the next turn.

The top number shows how much time (in minutes or in hours) until the next turn.

The text column explains the upcoming driving instructions.

The numbered column shows how many miles until the next turn. Direction of turn

The Current Route page keeps a log of your entire route. Thus, you can look beyond the next turn and even get an estimated idea of what time you will reach an upcoming turn provided you don’t make stops along the way.

You can scroll through the entire list by moving the scroll bar up or down. Highlight and touch any of the turns on the list to view the Next Turn page for that turn.

Trip Information Page

Access the Trip Information page anytime during an active route by pressing PAGE on your StreetPilot.

Select from different Mileage Logs.

Trip Information Page

While navigating a route, you can access yet another page, the Trip Information page. If you are making a long trip, you may find the Trip Information page to be very useful. It indicates your current speed and many helpful statistics about your trip.

Be certain to reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip (see next page). If you make frequent stops, leave the StreetPilot powered on in order to receive satellites. This allows the unit to accurately measure elapsed time during the trip. Note, however, that this might be impossible since some vehicles disconnect power to the cigarette lighter when the ignition is turned off.

The following trip information is displayed on the Trip Information page:

Time of Day Current time. This appears at the top left-hand side of the page.

Compass Ribbon Shows your current compass heading while moving with a red indicator arrow.

Speed This is the current vehicle speed, displayed in miles or kilometers per hour.

Odometer A running total of distance traveled, based upon the distance between second-by-second location readings, since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Mileage Log Allows you to use up to four different mileage odometers for recording trip distances. You can also rename each mileage log (see next page).

Driving Avg Your average speed of travel during the time the vehicle has been in motion since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Overall Avg Your average speed of travel (including time stopped) during the time the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since, the Trip Computer was last reset.

Max Speed The maximum speed recorded since the Trip Computer was last reset. Max Speed can also be reset individually without resetting other Trip Computer information.

Driving Time The length of time that the vehicle has been in motion since the Trip Computer was last reset.

16

Stopped Time The length of time that the vehicle has been stopped (or stationary) during the time the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since the Trip Computer was last reset.

Total Time The total length of time that the StreetPilot has been tracking your location since the Trip Computer was last reset. This is always equal to Driving Time plus Stopped Time.

To reset the Trip Computer or the Maximum Speed:

1.Press the unit or remote MENU key to display a ‘Menu’ page. You can also select the blue round buttons to the right of the main odometer or Max Speed (in which case you can skip to step 3).

2.From the ‘Menu’ page, select ‘Reset Trip’ to reset the Trip Computer or ‘Reset Max Spd’ to reset the Maximum Speed.

3.Select ‘Yes’ at the verification page to complete the reset.

To select a Mileage Log:

Touch the appropriate blue button above to reset the Trip Computer or Maximum Speed.

1.Select the ‘Job 1’ (or ‘None’) field on the Trip Information page. A box containing various log names (Job 1, Job 2, Job 3, OTHER, None) will appear.

2.Select the desired Mileage Log name. All mileage will be recorded in this log.

To rename a Mileage Log:

1.Make certain the desired Mileage Log name is displayed. Then, press the unit or remote MENU key to display a ‘Menu’ page.

Driving with Dead Reckoning

The only way you can tell that your StreetPilot is using Dead Reckoning is to view the GPS Information page. See page 56 for more information on GPS.

Driving with Dead Reckoning (2660 Only)

The StreetPilot 2660 comes with dead reckoning capabilities, which means that you continue to get navigation guidance even if you lose GPS reception, such as when you are travelling in dense urban environments with tall buildings and tunnels.

To achieve dead reckoning, the 2660 utilizes an internal angular rate sensor, an external speed sensor input, and an external reverse light sensor input. A special dead reckoning cable is connected to your vehicle’s speedometer and backup lights (it must be professionally installed by an authorized Garmin installer). Thus, when you lose GPS reception, your StreetPilot can acknowledge your turns as well as your distance travelled while you are driving. In this way, it can continue to accurately give navigation guidance until your GPS reception returns. Driving with dead reckoning capabilities is so seamless, you will not even know that you do not have GPS reception.

You can simply unplug the dead reckoning cable from the vehicle adapter if you want to use the StreetPilot 2660 in another vehicle. It will navigate the same way as the StreetPilot 2620.

Finding Places

Use the FIND feature on your StreetPilot unit (or remote) to take the guess work out of locating a city street, restaurant, or hotel. You can even use FIND to see what rest areas are approaching as you near an exit on the Interstate.

Finding a City

Select the Cities icon from the Find menu. A list of cities will appear, as well as each city’s direction and distance from your current position as indicated by the Near Here tab. Use the scroll bar on the right side of the page to view the entire list of cities. The Near Here tab lists cities that are closest to your current physical location or, if you have panned to an area away from your current location, to your map pointer.

You can find cities in many ways. Touch the down arrow (ź) on the Near Here tab and you will see a variety of options. (Note that these options appear depending upon whether you are currently navigating a route or panning your Map page).

By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the city you seek; use the mini keyboard that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all city names that are loaded in your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching for Greensboro, N.C., your search (using By Name) will return a list of all Greensboros in the U.S.

Near Other: Use Near Other to find a city that is not in your immediate location. For example, of you are physically in Kansas and you want to find a city in Colorado, select Near Other and a map of the U.S. will appear. Touch an area in Colorado that is close to the city you wish to identity, and then touch the check mark that appears in the upper right-hand corner of your Map page. A new list of cities in Colorado

will appear. (Note that when the list of cities appears, the tab will change from Near Other to Near Map Pointer. This is because the StreetPilot is searching for cities that are located near the current position of your map pointer, not your current physical location.)

If your search returns a large list of cities, you can narrow the search by touching the Filter tab. For example, if you are looking for Fort Collins, Colorado, type “Fort” on the Filter page and touch OK. The

list will include names like Fort Morgan and Fort Collins, Colorado, but it will also include names like Glen Comfort. The more letters you enter in the Filter page, the fewer the amount of names that will be returned.

Advanced feature: As a alternative to panning and then touching an area in Colorado when using By Other, you can enter the coordinates of a specific area if you know them. Press the MENU key and then select the Enter As Text icon. Then, enter your coordinates.

Near Map Pointer: Use Near Map Pointer to find cities that are near the area to which you have placed the map pointer while panning.

Near [Destination]: Use Near [Destination] if you are currently navigating a route and you want to view a list of cities that are near your destination. For example, if you are currently navigating a route from Denver to Salt Lake City (Near Salt Lake City), your StreetPilot will return a list of all cities near Salt Lake City.

Once you find the city you seek, touch the name and an information page will appear. Touch the green flag on the lower left-hand side of the page if you want to mark the city as a waypoint, or Show Map if you want to see the city on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to this city.

20

Finding an Address or Intersection

Touch the Addresses or Intersections icon from the Find menu. In both cases, a page appears that allows you to enter pertinent street information

To enter the number or street name, touch the black text field that appears to the right of the Number and Street fields. A mini keyboard will appear; touch the pertinent numbers/letters to complete the street names.

The StreetPilot initially limits its searches to addresses or intersections within the state/province in which you are currently physically located, or where the map pointer is located if you have panned to an area away from your current location. Thus, to narrow your search, particularly if you are trying to locate a street or intersection in another city or state/province, touch the Limit to box and select one of the Limit To options: No Limit, Enter a City, Enter a State/Province, or Enter a Postal Code. Try to narrow your search as much as possible to return fewer results. Entering the city name or zip code will significantly narrow your list.

When you enter street names, do not enter directional words such as “West” or types of streets such as “Avenue” or “Parkway.” For example, if you are looking for “E. 205 Elm Ave,” enter “205” in the Number field and “Elm” in the Street field. Then press Find. A list of possible matches will appear on a Select Address page. Touch the address you are seeking, and it will appear on an Address page.

Touch the green flag on the lower left-hand side of the Address page if you want to mark the location as a waypoint, or Show Map if you want to see the address/intersection on the Map page (see page 10 for an example), or Go To if you want your StreetPilot to navigate to the address/intersection.

Note: If your search returns a large list of possible matches, narrow the list by adding directional words and types of streets (“West,” “Ave”) via the Refine Street feature. From the Find Address page, press the StreetPilot’s MENU key. A Menu page will appear. Select the Refine Street icon. Add the additional information. Select OK, and all information will appear on the Find Address (or Find Intersection) page. Select Find, and the address or intersection you are seeking will appear on an information page.
