Quick Start Guide
Want to start using your GPS straight away? This quick start guide will quickly familiarise you with the Adventurer 3000 and its
features.
Charging the Adventurer 3000
Gently open the rubber seal on the right-hand side of the GPS and connect either the supplied mains charger or USB PC cable.
A red light will illuminate on the front of the GPS to indicate it is charging and then turn green when the battery is fully
charged.
Turning on the GPS
Press and hold the On/Off button on the left-hand side of the unit. Slide the on-screen Power On slider to the right. The
Adventurer 3000 will present you with the main menu, tap the Maps button to put the GPS in map mode.
If the touchscreen doesn’t appear to be responding to your input then ensure that Screen Lock switch underneath the On/Off
button is in the OFF position (it should be away from the padlock symbol).
Viewing your position
The GPS will begin locking onto your position straight away. When a lock has been acquired the Padlock icon will illuminate. Tap
the icon to jump to your current location and display it on the map. Your position is displayed with the Position icon.
As your position changes, the map will automatically scroll with you. If you want to move the map manually drag your finger or
stylus across the screen. You can also use the zoom in and zoom out buttons to make the map larger or smaller.
To view information such as your current speed and heading tap Extended Menu (
) followed by Settings & Overlays (
)
and then from the drop-down menu select GPS > Position. The window can be moved and resized and closed using the X in the
top right corner.
Viewing your track
As you move, the Adventurer 3000 will automatically record where you have been by drawing a track behind you. You can
view information such as how far you have been by tapping and holding anywhere on this track and then tapping Properties
on the menu that appears. You can also view how far you have travelled by a quick press of the button on the front of the
GPS. Press this button again to return to the map.
Shutting down the GPS
When you have finished using the GPS and wish to turn it off, please make sure you close down the Memory-Map software
first by tapping Extended Menu (
) followed by Exit (
). You can then turn the GPS off by holding down the front button
and selecting Power Off.
Alternatively, press the On/Off button on the left-hand side of the unit and then select Main Menu and then turn the GPS off
by holding down the On/Off button and selecting Power Off.
