Lowrance electronic 5300c Manuale Utente

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.
NOTE:

Available through LEI Extras (look inside back cover for accessory

ordering information), FreedomMaps are pre-made maps that con-

tain all of the same information available in a custom MapCreate

map, without any work on your part.

When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square

dots. As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the

0.2 mile zoom example (right), the cursor has selected the Cupps Café

POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up box

works on POIs at any zoom range.

Tip:

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

their POI icons crowd each other on the screen. You can reduce

screen clutter and make streets and other map features easier to
see by simply turning off the display of POIs you're not watching

for. (To see how, check the text on Map Detail Category Selection,

page 86. It shows how to use the Map Categories Drawn menu to

turn individual POI displays off and on.) Even though their display

is turned off, you can still search for POIs and their icons will pop-

up when your unit finds them for you.
