Customizing Radius and Units of Measurement

Tony begins by highlighting the customizable options for radius and units of measurement in Handheld Contact. Users can specify the radius they want to search within, such as 5 or 10 miles, depending on their preferences and needs. Additionally, users have the flexibility to change the units of measurement, whether it be miles, kilometers, or any other suitable metric.

Selecting the Search Location

With Handheld Contact, users can choose the search location for contacts. Tony demonstrates three options: “My Current Location,” “My Record’s Address,” and “Custom Location.” By selecting “My Current Location,” users can conduct searches based on their current geographic position. Alternatively, they can choose “My Record’s Address” to search from their contact information in Act, serving as their base of operation. The “Custom Location” option allows users to enter a specific address for more targeted searches.

Conducting a Nearby Search

Handheld Contact’s mobile mapping feature enables users to perform a nearby search. Tony exemplifies this by searching for contacts in the St. Louis, Missouri area. By specifying the state and clicking “GO,” users can focus on contacts in the desired region, making it easy to find appointments or meetings in that area.
