Find Points of Interest
On the computer master map, moving your pointer over a Point of In-

terest (POI) symbol triggers a pop-up box with the POI's name. With

MapCreate 7, when the information is available, the pop-up box also

displays the POI's address and telephone number. This detailed pop-up

only works for items classified as Points of Interest.

Map with pop-up box showing POI information

In a Lowrance or Eagle GPS, all POI's include the name, address and

phone number.

At left, an iFINDER GPS screen showing a POI pop-up name box. At

right, you can call up a page of information on the POI, and the GPS

unit can lead you to the POI's location.

Find an Address

You won't see addresses on your computer map (except listed in the

pop-ups for some POIs). But when the MapCreate information is loaded

into your GPS, you can search for a street address or a street intersec-

tion. In fact, your GPS unit can search by name for virtually every

category of mapping detail contained in MapCreate.
All of this information is built into MapCreate's atlas database. As long

as an information category is turned on and included in your Map File,

the data will be available to your GPS unit.
