Section 7: Hunting Mode
This section addresses how to operate the iFINDER in Hunting Mode.
If you've read through this manual in order, you're already familiar
with many of the basic GPS principles that drive the iFINDER. The
principles are the same in both operating modes, so you already know
how to work your iFINDER.
If, however, you're only interested in Hunting Mode operation, this sec-
tion should be the main reference you'll use to operate your iFINDER.
Look through Sec. 3 and Sec. 4 to figure out how to operate anything
that's not obvious (like navigating routes, trails and waypoints), but
read through this section to learn about all the special hunting tools
that come with the unit.
One of the major features of the iFINDER HUNTc is the Compass
Page. The Compass Page appears is one of only two pages in Hunting
Mode. We'll go into more detail on setting up and using the Compass
Page in this section.
Another useful feature are the special Hunting Waypoints, which differ
from the kinds of waypoints described earlier in this manual. We'll tell
you how to set up and use a Hunting Waypoint later in this section.
We'll also talk about the Scouting feature, which allows you to define
your favorite hunting area by drawing a boundary on the map. This
area will show up on your iFINDER's map, so you can always know
your position within the scouted area.
But first, we want to walk you through the basics of using the iFINDER
HUNTc to improve your hunting experience! The following page con-
tains a 12-step quick reference for the most basic Hunting Mode opera-
tions. There are several other ways to perform the steps described here,
but this quick reference will show you the simplest way to park a vehi-
cle, walk out in the woods and find your way back.
If you don't want to carry the manual with you as you practice with the
iFINDER, you might consider photocopying this quick reference page
and tucking it into your pocket.
