vi 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 waypoi nt. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.
1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS satellite navigation! We know you're anxious to begin finding your way with this hand-held technol- ogy, but we have a favor to ask.
2 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.
3 Input power: ...................... 3 volts DC (two 1.5v AA batteries); operates up to 12 hours on batteries when using one- second position updates (longer update rates further extend battery life, but will reduce GPS accuracy). Cigarette lighter adapter in- cluded.
4 or SD (Secure Digital Card.) Position updates: ........... Up to every se cond. Position points: .............. 1,000 wayp oints; 1,000 event marker icons. Graphic symbols for waypoints or event marker icons: .................. 42. Routes: .........
5 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.
6 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.
7 A minimum of three satellites are re quired to determine a 2D fix. The system requires signal receptio n from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevat ion (your height above sea level — also called altitude).
8 There, however, are some fringe areas of the U.S., including parts of Alaska, that do not yet receive robu st WAAS coverage. Continued WAAS development is planned to extend W AAS coverage in the years to come. WAAS boosts the accuracy of land GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft.
