We'll spend the rest of this section introducing you to the options and
settings available from the Music Menu.
Power Saving
If you're using your iFINDER for both mapping and music, you can con-
trol how much of each get out of it. One of the biggest drains on the
iFINDER's battery is the position update rate – that is, how
often the
iFINDER checks its location from the GPS signal.
You can tell the iFINDER to check less often, giving you inferior posi-
tion accuracy but longer battery life. To do this, use the Power Saving
command. Just remember that the higher your Power Saving setting,
the less reliable your position information on the map display.
