Lets you search near your current location. This is the default value.
Destination
Lets you search near a specified destination. For example, you know
your general destination, but not very much about interesting locations in
the area. You can use the unit to locate the tourist attractions most
appealing to yourself, family, or friends. Note that this button is enabled
only when a destination is entered.
Other
Address
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.
Search
Radius
Enter the location distance to search for a designated place. For
example, if you enter 5 km, the unit 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, the unit searches the whole
map.
Show or Hide
Symbol on
Map
Lets you customize your POI list by showing or hiding the POI category
symbols that you don’t want. When you hide a category a red mark
appears. This mark only means that the category symbol does not
appear on your map. The category locations are still available to you. You
can always show a hidden category symbol by selecting the category
and tapping the Show Symbol on Map button.

the unit avoids highways or other roads where pedestrians would not travel. Voice
prompts are not available in this mode.

when you are trying to orient yourself to the Map screen during the day. For example,
you have calculated a route, but you don’t know whether the route is to the right or left of
your current position. If you’re shadow is behind you, then the sun is in front of you.
