"Restaurants" have subcategories that represent different types of food, such as American, Italian, and French.
Finding a location with navigation Enter the location distance to search for a designated place. For example, if you enter 5 km, the Navigator only searches within a five kilometer radius. When you select a large search radius, you risk the chance of finding too many locations, which makes it harder to find the place that you are searching for. It is best to start with a small search radius size, and then make it larger if necessary.
