WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a way- point, but will also visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the waypoin

Section 1: Read Me First! How this GPS and manual can make you a better hunter. We know; the last thing you want to do after buying your new iFINDER HUNTc is to look inside the manual. But before you grab the batteries and head outside, please give us a moment or two to ex- plain how our manual and GPS can make you a better hunter. If you're like most hunters, you probably purchased your iFINDER HUNTc to keep from getting lost in the big woods. That's the most im- portant function, but this r

This section includes a one-page Easy Mode Quick Reference. (If you've already figured out how to load the batteries yourself, and you just can't wait any longer, turn to the Quick Reference on page 29 and head outside with your iFINDER!) NOTE: When you turn on the unit, it is in ADVANCED MODE. To switch the iFINDER to EASY MODE, press MENU|MENU, then use the ↑ ↓ keys to scroll down to DISABLE HUNTING MODE and press ENT. A message will appear asking if you are sure you want to turn ON LAND NAVIG

We describe how to use general system options along with GPS options in Section 5, System Setup and GPS Setup Options. This section covers all operation modes. In Section 6, we go into more detail on one of the iFINDER's most re- markable capabilities — Searching. We'll introduce a couple of search examples in both the Easy and Advanced Mode sections, but there are so many map items you can search for, we had to give this function its own section in the manual! For example, did you know the iFIN

While the screen is updated once a second, your iFINDER is making these internal calculations and determining its position several times a second! The performance doesn't stop there. Stored in the permanent memory of each iFINDER is a basic background map of the entire world. We lock it in here at the factory — you can't change or erase this map. Another portion of the iFINDER's onboard memory is devoted to re- cording GPS navigation information, which includes waypoints, event marker icons, tra

The iFINDER automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SD Card. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC containing a map into the unit. Introduction to GPS, WAAS and EGNOS Well, now you know the basics of how the iFINDER does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page 11, so you can install the batteries. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tutorials easy to skim. If that's the case

least four satellites are in view nearly anywhere on Earth at all times. The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude). This is called a 3D fix. Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencie

available to the general public today. Remember, however, that this receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation avail- able, such as a map or chart and a compass. Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your destination, for example. It’s up to you to safely navigate around obstacles, no matter h

For example, instructions for backtracking a trail in Easy Mode would look like this: 1. Press MENU|↓ to NAVIGATE TRAIL|ENT. 2. Now, begin moving and follow your iFINDER. Translated into complete English, step 1 means: "Press the Menu key. Next, press the down arrow key to scroll down the menu and select (high- light) the Navigate Trail menu command. Finally, press the Enter key." Also note that throughout this text, we will refer to the iFINDER HUNTc as the iFINDER, or as the unit. 10

Section 2: Installation & Accessories Power The iFINDER operates from AA batteries or on 3 volts DC using an optional external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. When the power cable is used, the iFINDER automatically switches to it if the external power is greater than the battery voltage. If the external power fails, the unit automatically switches to the batteries. Flash memory will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life of the product — after the unit is turned off

Battery Installation Turn the unit over so the back is facing you. With your thumb or nail, pull back on the small clip to release the battery cover latch as shown in the following images. Once the latch is released, pull the battery cover up out of the grooves in the bottom of the case. Remove the iFINDER's battery cover. (For clarity, an iFINDER H2O is shown in these installation photos. Your HUNTc works the same.) Install the batteries according to the embossed signs in the battery com
