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. Clouds do not restrict GPS signal reception.
If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside
a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To
correct this, be sure you are positioned so that the unit has as clear a
view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and back on again.
If you have the cursor activated, any information the unit gives you will
be based on the cursor position, not your own. If you want to find where
you are, just press
EXIT
until the cursor goes away and the map snaps
back to center on your position.
Icons
Icons are graphic symbols used to mark some location, personal point of
interest or event. They can be placed on the map screen, saved and re-
called later for navigation purposes. These are sometimes referred to as
event marker icons. iFINDER has 42 different symbols you can pick
from when creating an icon.
Icons are similar to waypoints, but they do not store as much informa-
tion (like names) as waypoints do. You can't use a menu to navigate to
icons as you can with waypoints.( But, you
can
use the map cursor and
navigate to any icon on the map.)
You can create an icon at the cursor position on the map, or at your
current position while you are navigating.
