software, but without the necessity of using a computer. FreedomMaps
are available for the United States, Canada and Europe.
Like custom maps built in MapCreate, the custom map on a FreedomMap
card contains all of these features: rivers/lakes/tributaries; more than
60,000 critical navigation aids; more than 10,000 wrecks/obstructions in
coastal and Great Lakes waters; interstate/federal/state highways; inter-
state exit services; searchable Points-of-Interest (POI) database including:
airports, hotels, restaurants, entertainment, emergency services; rural
roads and city streets; cities and towns; railways; key landmarks; search-
able street intersections and street addresses; national parks and forests
with boundaries; wildlife preserves; and more!
NauticPath charts offer the highest level of offshore/coastal navigation
detail and information pre-loaded on a digital mapping card. Nau-
ticPath has electronic charts covering the East and West coasts, Ha-
waii, the Gulf Coast, Alaska, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and US Virgin
Islands — all on one memory card!
Fishing Hot Spots Elite provides superb coverage of more than 2,000 of
America's premier inland fishing lakes. The mapping detail, which in-
cludes depth contour lines and excellent shoreline detail, is preloaded
onto one of four digital mapping cards.
LakeMaster ProMaps are high definition maps loaded on plug-and-play
digital media cards. The cards cover Minnesota and Wisconsin.
FreedomMaps, NauticPath charts, Fishing Hot Spots Elite and
LakeMaster ProMaps are available through LEI-Extras. To order a
card (or for list of areas available) see ordering information in the back
of this manual or visit the LEI web site at www.lei-extras.com. The
iFINDER also supports Navionics charts, which may be ordered at the
Navionics web site.
External Antenna
A GPS antenna requires a clear view of the sky for optimum operation.
Inside a vehicle, your iFINDER can sometimes maintain satellite lock
while sitting on the seat beside you, but we don't recommend this for
optimum performance.
Since the view is restricted to what can be seen through the windows,
this operating mode will reduce position accuracy and will increase the
chance of losing satellite lock. Inside a vehicle, the unit operates best
with an optional external antenna mounted on the windshield, on the
dash or on top of the vehicle.
