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
HUNTc
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.
If you're like most hunters, you probably purchased your iFINDER
HUNTc to keep from getting lost in the big woods. That's the most im-
portant function, but this rugged GPS will also lead you to new hunting
grounds, help you find more game by better scouting, improve your hunt
planning and help you recover downed game. (But it won't give you
tighter groups…you'll just have to spend more time at the range for
that!)
The original iFINDER HUNT and its companion mapping software,
MapCreate
USA Hunting Topo, made up the first and only GPS-
mapping package on the market with features developed especially for
hunters. The two products were introduced in the Summer of 2004, but
additional hunting functions are already under development. In 2005
we added color to the mix, releasing the iFINDER HUNTc. Periodically,
we offer free features and enhancements that may be downloaded at
our web site.
We strongly recommend you check the Lowrance web
site, www.lowrance.com, for free downloads of updated software
and instruction manuals.
Our goal for this book is to get you out to the woods fast, with a mini-
mum of fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time hunting, and less
time reading the manual!
So, we designed our book so that you
don't
have to read the
whole thing
from front to back for the information you want. At the start (or end) of
each segment, we'll tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a
concept you're already familiar with, we'll show you how and where to
skip ahead for the next important topic. We've also made it easy to look
up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:
The manual is organized into eight sections. This first section is an in-
troduction to Lowrance GPS. It tells you the basics you need to know
before you can make the unit look around and tell you where you are.
Section 2 will help you get the batteries and MultiMedia Card (MMC)
correctly installed in your iFINDER. We'll also tell you about some of
the accessories available for your unit.
Section 3 is the heart of our book,
Easy Mode Operation
. It will intro-
duce you to the basic GPS functions.
