state highways; Interstate highway exits and exit services information; 

large- and medium-sized lakes and streams and more than 60,000 

navigation aids and 10,000 wrecks and obstructions in U.S. coastal and 

Great Lakes waters. 
MapCreate custom maps include massive amounts of information not 

found in the background map. MapCreate contains the searchable 

Points of Interest database, all the minor roads and streets, all the 

landmark features (such as summits, schools, radio towers, etc.); more 

rivers, streams, smaller lakes and ponds and their names. 
What's more important is the large-scale map detail that allows your 

GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the 

background map would show you the general outline and approximate 

shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher detail in MapCreate 

shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail). Many 

smaller islands would not be included in the background map, but are 

in MapCreate. 
 

   

 

 

In some urban areas, businesses are so close to one another their 

POI icons crowd each other on the screen. In the preceding figure, 

you can see a packed string of POIs all along the west half of 11th 

Street. You can reduce screen clutter and make streets and other 

map features easier to see by turning off some POIs categories. To 

see how, check the text on Map Detail Category Selection, in Sec. 5.
