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 HUNT is to look inside the manual.

If you're like most hunters, you probably purchased your iFINDER HUNT to keep from getting lost in the big woods. That's the most impor- tant function, but this rug

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 28 and head outside with your iFINDER!) 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 in the wilderness quickly. Easy Mode operation will meet the navigation needs of many users. But, after you've learned the basics (or if y

First, think of your iFINDER as a small but powerful computer. (But don't worry — we made iFINDER easy to use, so you don't need to be a computer expert to find your way!) The iFINDER includes a keypad and a screen with menus so you can tell it what to do. The screen also lets iFINDER show your location on a moving map, as well as point the way to your destination. This pocket-sized computer also contains an antenna and specialized scanning receiver, something like your car radio. But instead of

MMCs, if you don't have a computer.) Our MapCreate mapping software can save, edit or create its own GPS Data Files, which can be copied to the MMC and then loaded from the MMC into iFINDER's memory. (NOTE: No matter where they come from, GPS Data Files must be loaded from the MMC into memory before iFINDER can use them.) The other key GPS use for MMCs is storage of special high-detail, cus- tom maps, which you can produce on your computer with our MapCre- ate software. These MapCreate custom ma

fies the satellite and its position above the earth. Three of these satellites are spares, unused until needed. The rest virtually guarantee that at least four satellites are in view nearly anywhere on Earth at all times. 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

broadcasting correction signals on GPS frequencies. Your unit automati- cally receives both GPS and WAAS signals. However, there 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 sk

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

Do not mix different battery types. Mixing battery types may cause leak- age. (For example, don’t use both alkaline and NiMH batteries at the same time, and don't use standard alkalines with rechargeable alkalines.) 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 up out of the grooves in the bottom o
