Using the Find Menu The Find Feature provides you with a method for searching for Waypoints, Cities, and Exits which are included in the GPSmap 76CS basemap. You can also nd Waypoint and Geocache Points you have saved. If you have downloaded Garmin MapSource mapping data that contains additional map detail, you can search for and nd Points of Interest, Addresses and Intersections. If you download BlueChart data, you can nd Marine Points such as Wrecks and Obstructions, NAVAIDS, and Anchorages. If this additional data is not loaded, these options are not available. Searching for a map item is simplied by separating the map database into groups which are shown as icons on the Find Menu Page. When you access a Find group list, by default it will contain only those items near your current location or the Panning Arrow (if active). To save effort in searching again for an item already found, you can use the Recent Finds group which contains a list of 50 last found items of all categories. The options menu for each map item group offers its own unique search options such as Find By Name, Find Nearest, Select Symbol (for Waypoints), Change Reference ( by moving the map Panning Arrow to a new location), Nearest Containing (a key word you enter), Select Category (for those groups such as Food and Drink, Lodging, etc.). Using these options can effectively shorten your search. 31

Nibbons In this GPS game, you must walk around the board collecting the flags as they appear. As you walk, your tail will grow. You may travel anywhere on the screen but you cannot walk on your tail, or you will lose a life. As an added challenge, you must also avoid the Skulls that chase after you. Gekoids This GPS game, which can be played without GPS on, is all about blasting gekoids. The catch is, you are the ship and you can survive only when you avoid getting hit. Before you begin to play, make certain to make your game settings. Orient Map Northwards rotates your ship in the center of the map. The map is stationary and north is always up. Orient Map Ship Up rotates the virtual world around your ship. Your ship always points Up. Press the ENTER key to start and blast away! IMPORTANT WARNING: When playing any of the virtual games (where you are moving about on a real playing field), use reasonable and prudent caution in selecting an area free of hazards such a holes, obstructions or proximity to vehicular traffic. Playing these games may distract your attention from observing objects in your path. 78

Beast Hunt Although not a true GPS game, Beast Hunt requires some navigation skills, in which you must find and defeat the dragon with an arrow before it breathes fire at you or you fall into one of the pits while navigating a maze of platforms. From time to time you will be transported by slides that curve or move you diagonally. The game consists of several difficulty levels and an extended or limited visibility option. When you lose a game the screen will display the layout of hazards, slide and warning platforms. A scoreboard keeps track of your wins and loses. To play Beast Hunt: 1. Select Beast Hunt from the Games Menu and press ENTER to display the game prompt window. 2. Read the prompt and then press ENTER to display the Difculty Options window. Make your choice and press ENTER to display Visibility Options. 3. Make a selection and press ENTER to begin the game. 4. Use the ROCKER key to jump from platform to platform. When you land on a shaded platform, you are one or two steps from the dragon, a platform with a circle is next to a pit. If you fall into a pit you lose. If you jump into the dragon you lose, if you shoot an arrow at where you think the dragon is, and miss you lose. To defeat the dragon, use ENTER to place an arrow in a shaded platform. Use the ROCKER key to point and ENTER to shoot.
