Section 1: Read Me First!
How this manual can get you out on the road, fast
!
Welcome to the exciting world of GPS! We know you're anxious to begin
navigating, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the batteries and head
outside, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help
you get the best performance from this remarkable little GPS unit.
First, we want to thank you for buying an Atlas
. Whether you're a first time
user or a professional navigator, you'll discover that the Atlas is a true pocket-
sized, full-featured mapping GPS receiver. When you team an Atlas with one of
our specialized MapCards™ you have an incredible combination. No other
consumer GPS mapping system on the market offers so much information and
so many features in one package.
Our goal for this book is to get you on the road or out to the woods and water
fast, with a minimum of fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time traveling,
in the woods or on the water, 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 six sections.
Section 1 is an introduction to the Atlas and to GPS. It tells you the basics you
need to know before you can make Atlas look around and tell you where you
are.
Section 2 will help you get the batteries and MultiMedia Card (MMC) correctly
installed in your Atlas. 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 introduce you to
the basic GPS functions. We lead off this section with a one-page Easy Mode
Quick Reference.
(If you've already figured out how to load the batteries
yourself, and you just
can't
wait any longer, turn to the Quick Reference
on page 29 and head outside with your Atlas!)
The rest of Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan lessons that follow one
another in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to get on the
road quickly.
Easy Mode operation will meet the navigation needs of many users. But, after
you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS experience), you
