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 t

The rest of Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan lessons that follow one another in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your way on the water or in the wilderness quickly. Easy Mode operation will meet the navigation needs of many users. But, after you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS experience), you may want to try out some of the iFINDER's many ad- vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced Mode Operation. After we

nates the weakest signals, then computes its location in relation to the remaining satellites. Once the iFINDER figures its latitude and longitude, it plots that position on the moving map shown on the screen. 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

You make your own Custom Map Files with our MapCreate software, but you don't have to. We also sell ready-to-use FreedomMaps ™. These custom maps are pre- loaded on MMCs. (No computer work required!). 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

A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. 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 frequenc

There, however, are some fringe areas of the U.S., including parts of Alaska, that do not yet receive robust WAAS coverage. Continued WAAS development is planned to extend WAAS coverage in the years to come. WAAS boosts the accuracy of land GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft. The satellites are in a fixed orbit around the Equator, so they appear very low in the sky to someone on the ground in North America. Aircraft and vessels on open water can get consis- tently good

Instructions = Menu Sequences Most functions you perform with the iFINDER are described as a se- quence of keystrokes and selecting menu commands. We've written them in a condensed manner for quick and easy reading. For example, instructions for backtracking a trail in Easy Mode would look like this: 1. Press MENU| ↓ to NAVIGATE TRAIL|ENT. 2.

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 exter- nal power. If the external power fails, the unit will switch to battery power. Flash memory will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life of the product. After the unit is turned off, no battery or external power is needed to st

Battery Installation Turn the unit over so that 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 bat- tery cover out of the grooves in the bottom of the case. Remove the iFINDER battery cover. Install the batteries according to the embossed signs in the battery com- partment. They show the correct polarity. Point the positive pole of the upper battery
