A list of cities will appear, as well as each city’s direction anddistance from your current position as indicated by the Near Here tab.

Touch the down arrow (▼) on the Near Here tab and you will see avariety of options. (Note that these options appear depending upon whether you are currently navigating aroute or panning your Map page).• By Name: Use By Name if you want to spell out the name of the city you seek; use the minikeyboard that appears when you select By Name. Note that when you use By Name, all city namesthat are loaded in your mapping software will be searched. For example, if you are searching forGreensboro, N.C., your search (using By Name) will return a list of all Greensboros in the U.S.• Near Other: Use Near Other to find a city that is not in your immediate location.

A new listof cities in Colorado will appear. (Note that when the list of cities appears, the tab will change fromNear Other to Near Map Pointer.
