Sleep Mode
Of course, when the iFINDER has more information to work with, it
can provide better predictions. In order to help with this, we've de-
signed the iFINDER with a Sleep Mode that allows it to conserve bat-
tery life, while occasionally waking up just enough to take a pressure
reading. This allows the unit to continue to build an accurate pressure
history even when you're not actively using it.
Caution:
If you want to record pressure history for weather prediction,
you must first acquire a 3D position fix
before
putting the unit
into Sleep Mode. Once it has a fix and an accurate local time
reading, the unit will continue recording correctly timed pres-
sure readings even if the unit loses its position.
There are three ways to enable Sleep Mode:
1. If you're viewing the Digital Data page, press

Waypoints
A waypoint is an electronic address, based on the latitude and longi-
tude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location, spot,
or destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled and used
later for navigational purposes. You can create a waypoint at the cursor
position on the map or at your current position while navigating.
Create a Waypoint
These techniques use the Quick Save method, the fastest and easiest
way to create a waypoint.
Create Waypoint on Map
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the place where you want
to make a waypoint.
2. Press

. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a
name with a sequential number, such as "waypoint 001." The waypoint
symbol and number appear on the map.
