example, you can use Destinator to guide you to a mall, hotel, restaurant, or gas station.

From the Destinations menu, tap the Points of Interest button. The POI screen appears. You can find a

category by tapping the Hide/Display Keyboard
The Smart Search System automatically displays the POI categories that match the characters entered.

Search Radius

Lets you search near your current location. This is the default value.

Lets you search near a specified destination. For example, you know your

You can use Destinator to locate the tourist attractions most appealing to
yourself, family, or friends. Note that this button is enabled only when a
destination is ent ered.

Lets you search near another address. For example, you have set a destination,
but on the way you want to stop at another location. You can use this feature to
search near that location for restaurants, lodging, historical sites, or anything
you want.

Enter the location distance to search for a designated place. For example, if you
enter 5 km, Destinator only searches within a five kilometer radius.

When you select a large search radius, you risk the chance of finding too many
locations, which makes it harder to find the place that you are searching for. It
is best to start with a small search radius size, and then make it larger if
necessary.

Note: if you don’t specify a search radius, Destinator searches the whole
map.
