data disclaimer following the data descriptions.
Additional Symbols
New hunting-specific symbols make it easier to scout ahead of the hunt
and mark important spots.
Searching
MapCreate lets you search for POIs, land features and more, just as
you can in a Lowrance GPS unit.
Aviation Searching
Load a card containing a Jeppesen
®
Aviation Database into the card
reader and MapCreate lets you search for items such as airports and
VORs.
Find Nearest Waypoint or Nearest Highway Exit
It's easier to find these items with the new right-click shortcut.
Map Category Options Toolbar
A drop-down menu lets you select pre-set or customizable category set-
tings for activities ranging from hunting to aviation.
Routing
MapCreate lets you accurately add POIs, land features and aviation
navaids to routes with a click of the mouse.

Master Map window have been replaced with pop-up pan arrows. You
can even pan diagonally!

Pop-up information boxes for POIs, land features and interstate highway
exits now include elevations. Exit pop-up boxes also list nearby exit services.
