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
find your way on the water or in the wilderness 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 may want to try out some of the iFINDER's many ad-
vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced
Mode Operation. After we introduce the Advanced Mode menus and
submenus, this section contains the rest of the iFINDER's command
functions, organized in alphabetical order.
When you come to a GPS menu command on the iFINDER screen, you can
look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, flipping
through Section 3 or scanning through the command portion of Section 4.
The iFINDER is ready to use right out of the box, but you can fine tune
and customize its operation with dozens of options. We describe how to
use general system options along with GPS options in Section 5, System
Setup and GPS Setup Options. This section covers both Easy Mode and
Advanced Mode options.
In Section 6, we go into more detail on one of the iFINDER's most re-
markable capabilities — Searching. We'll introduce a couple of search
examples in both the Easy and Advanced mode sections, but there are
so many map items you can search for, we had to give this function its
own section in the manual! For example, did you know the iFINDER
can look up business phone numbers, functioning as a virtual Yellow
Pages? We’ll show you how in Section 6.
Finally, in Section 7, we offer Supplemental Material, including a list of
the GPS datums used, warranties, and customer service information.
Now, if you are into the fine details, glance over the next segment on
specifications to see how much GPS power you hold in your hand. It's
important to us (and our power users), but if you don't care how many
waypoints the iFINDER can store or how long the batteries last, skip
ahead to important information on how the iFINDER works, on page 4.
