vi Notes.
1 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. 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.
2 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.
3 Capabilities and Specifications: iFINDER HUNT General Display: ............................ 3" (7.3 cm) diagonal high contrast Film Su- perTwist. Resolution: ...................... 240 pixel x 180 pixel resolution; 43,200 total pixels. Backlighting: .
4 Custom mapping: .......... Accepts custom, higher-detail MapCreate 6 mapping on memory cards, with searchable Points-of Interest database of hotels, restau- rants, shopping, services, hunting areas and more. Navionics charts on MMC cards op- tional.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 broadcasting correction signals on GPS frequencies. Y ou r un i t au t o ma t i - 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.
9 Menu Commands A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type like this: A DVANCED M ODE . These indicate that you are to select this command or option from a menu or take an action of some kind with the menu item.
10 Notes.
11 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.
12 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.
13 Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter To use external DC power: Plug the power cable's cigarette lighter adapter into a cigarette lighter receptacle. Next, pull aside the rubber cover on the bottom of the unit and insert the other connector as shown in the following image.
14 The PC-DI8 combines a cigarette lighter power adapter with a DB-9 plug for a NMEA/serial com port connection to a laptop computer or other device. This is our favorite cable for connecting the iFINDER HUNT to a laptop computer in an RV or other vehicle.
15 Remove an MMC Card. 4. Drag the MMC from the slot into the battery compartment. 5. Turn the iFINDER face up and give it a shake to dump the MMC into your hand or onto a work surface. To add an MMC or SDC 1. Remove battery compartment cover. 2. Remove batteries, if present.
16 FreedomMaps FreedomMaps are pre-made custom maps that cover multiple states, provinces, countries or other geographic regions on a single memory card. They give you all the features found in our MapCreate™ mapping software, but without the necessity of using a computer.
17 signals. Your unit will automatically switch between the active RAA-3 and its internal antenna (located in the top of the case). If you purchase the passive FA-8, you must use a menu check box to manually switch between it and the internal antenna.
18 One model has a mounting arm and cradle attached to a swivel ball plate that can be screwed or bolted to a supporting surface. Another has a moldable, weighted, rubber foot and gooseneck for support virtually anywhere without screws or adhesives. R-A-M even has suction cup bases for attachment to windscreens or fiberglass surfaces.
19 Section 3: Easy Mode Operation This section addresses Easy Mode operation for iFINDER's main GPS functions. The principles are the same in both operating modes, so this discussion also serves as a good introduction to Advanced Mode work.
20 6. EXIT – The Exit key lets you return to the previous screen, clear data or erase a menu. 7. FIND – The Find key launches the iFINDER search menus and some navigation functions. 8. ZOUT – (Zoom Out) – This key lets you zoom the screen out to see a larger geographic are on the map.
21 Screen command: changes the contrast or brightness of the display screen and backlight delay. Sounds command: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style. Navigate Trail command: sets up navigation back to the start of the current trail.
22 Satellite Page. Left view indicates unit has not locked on to any satel- lites and does not have a fix on its position. Center view shows satel- lites being scanned. Right view shows satellite lock-on with a 3D posi- tion acquired (latitude, longitude and altitude.
23 other destination. No graphic course information is displayed. Your po- sition is shown by an arrow in the center of the screen. Your trail his- tory, or path you've taken, is depicted by the line extending from the a r r o w .
24 Travel Time is the time that it will take to reach your destination at your present closing speed. Arrival Time is the local time that it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your present closing speed and track. Navigation Page, going to cursor.
25 The map zoom range is the distance across the screen. This number shows in the lower left corner of the screen. In the first example below left, the range is 4,000 miles from the left edge of the map to the right edge of the map.
26 Background map vs. MapCreate map content The background map includes: low-detail maps of the whole world (con- taining cities, major lakes, major rivers, political boundaries); and me- dium-detail maps of the United States.
27 When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square dots. As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the 0.3 mile zoom example at right, the cursor has selected the Cholita's Mexican Restaurant POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name.
28 iFINDER Easy Mode Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location a few blocks away. Navigation in too small a space, like a backyard, will constantly trigger arrival alarms. 1. Install two AA batteries and an MMC card in the battery compart- ment on back of case.
29 Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning iFINDER on. Un- der clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. NOTE: "Clear sky" means open sky, unobstructed by terrain, dense foliage or structures.
30 Tip: Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position (or last known position, when working indoors) to any map object or location. Simply use the arrow keys to position the cursor over the object or place. The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the data box at the bottom of the map.
31 3. iFINDER says it is calculating, then a list of restaurants appears, with the closest at the top of the list, and the farthest at the bottom of the list. The nearest is highlighted. 4. If you wanted, you could scroll ↑ or ↓ here to select another restau- rant, but for now we will just accept the nearest one.
32 7. To clear the search and return to the last page displayed, press EXIT | EXIT | EXIT . (Before you completely exited out of the Search menus, you could have gone looking for another place.) NOTE: Search works from mapping and POI data loaded in iFINDER.
33 Set Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoint One of boating's most terrifying events is having a friend or family member fall overboard. This situation can be deadly on any body of wa- ter — fresh or salt. It's particularly dangerous at night or if you're out of sight of land.
34 1. Use the cursor (controlled by the arrow keys) with the zoom in and zoom out keys to maneuver around the map until you find a location you want to go to. 2.
