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

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 introduce the Advanced Mode menus and submenus, this section contains the rest of the iFINDER's command functions, organized in alphabetical order. When you come to a GPS menu command on the iFINDER screen

The iFINDER listens to signals from as many satellites as it can see above the horizon, eliminates the weakest signals, then computes its loca- tion 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 th

ate software. These MapCreate custom maps contain much greater de- tail than the basic background map. These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared be- tween iFINDERs, other Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units and per- sonal computers. 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 dir

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 frequencies. Thes

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 WAAS

Instructions = Menu Sequences Most functions you perform with the iFINDER are described as a se- quence of key strokes 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 store your d

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 out of the grooves in the bottom of t
