WARNING!

A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO

OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.

CAUTION

When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest,

most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of

obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available

navigation tools when traveling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make sure a

clear, safe path to the waypoint is always available.

WARNING!

When a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely responsible for

operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Vehicle operators must maintain full

surveillance of all pertinent driving, boating or flying conditions at all times. An

accident or collision resulting in damage to property, personal injury or death

could occur if the operator of a GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to

travel conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in motion.

Introduction

Welcome to the exciting world of GPS satellite navigation! We know

you're anxious to begin finding your way with this amazing technology,

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 iFINDER. Whether you're a

first-time user or a professional navigator, you'll discover that the

iFINDER is a true pocket-sized, full-featured mapping GPS receiver.

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, and less time reading the manual! In the following

pages you can find instructions on how to use all of the iFINDER's

basic functions.

NOTE:

For the power users out there, the iFINDER Go also has an

Advanced Mode, which allows you an even greater degree of control

over your device's settings. For details on Advanced Mode

Operation, look for the iFINDER Go Advanced User's Guide on our

web site, www.lowrance.com.

If you would like to know more about GPS and its companion system

WAAS, visit our web site and check out the GPS Product Guide section

(www.lowrance.com/Support/gps.asp). It includes a GPS tutorial,

frequently asked questions and a glossary.

Batteries

The unit requires two 1.5-volt AA batteries. Do not mix different

battery types. Mixing battery types may cause leakage.

The following page contains an 11-step quick reference for Easy Mode

operation. If you don't want to carry the manual with you as you

practice with iFINDER, you might consider photocopying this quick

reference page and tucking it into your pocket.

Easy Mode Operation

This section addresses Easy Mode operation for iFINDER's main GPS

functions. The principles are the same in both operating modes, so this

discussion also serves as a good introduction to Advanced Mode work.

The iFINDER Keypad

You'll control the iFINDER Go with its keyboard, which includes:

PWR/LIGHT (Power & Light) – The PWR key turns the unit on and off

and activates the backlight. Turn off the unit by pressing and holding

the PWR key for 3 seconds.

PAGES – Pressing this key switches the unit between the three

different page screens in Easy Mode. (Satellite, Navigation and Map.)

Each page represents one of the unit's major operation modes.

MENU – Press this key to show the menus, which allow you to select or

adjust a feature from a list.

ARROW KEYS – These keys are used to navigate through the menus,

make menu selections, move the map cursor and enter data.

ENT/SAVE (Enter & Save) – This key allows you to save data, accept

values or execute menu commands.

EXIT – The Exit key lets you return to the previous screen and clear

data or close menus.

FIND – The Find key launches the iFINDER search menus.

ZOUT and ZIN – (Zoom Out and Zoom In) – These keys let you zoom

the screen in or out to see either a larger geographic area on the map,

or greater detail in a smaller map area. You can press ZOUT and ZIN at

the same time to create a Man Overboard waypoint at your current

location and begin navigating back to it.

Main Menu

Easy Mode has a single Main Menu, which contains the commands you'll

use to operate your iFINDER. Some important Main Menu commands

and their functions are:

offered by www.Busse-Yachtshop.de email: [email protected] Tel: +49 (0)4347 908234

Screen command: changes the contrast or brightness of the display.

Software Info command: shows the product name and software version

of the unit's operating system software, as well as copyright notices.

Advanced Mode command: used to switch to Advanced Mode operation.

Pages

Easy Mode has three Page displays that represent the three major

operating modes. They are the Satellite Status Page, the Navigation

Page and the Map Page. They are accessed by pressing the PAGES key,

which cycles among them.

Navigation Page

This Page has a compass rose. It shows your direction of travel and the

direction to a recalled waypoint. The navigation screen looks like the

one in the following image when you're not navigating to a waypoint or

other destination. Your position is shown by an arrow in the center of

the screen. Your trail history, or path you've taken, is depicted by the

line extending from the arrow.

The Navigation Page looks like this when iFINDER is not navigating.

When navigating to a waypoint or following a route, the Navigation

screen looks like the one shown in the following image.

WARNING:

Do not begin navigating with this unit until the numbers

have stopped flashing! On any display page, a flashing

current position indicator/question mark symbol and

flashing GPS data displays indicate that satellite lock has

been lost and there is no position confirmed.

Map Page

The map screens show your course and track from a "bird's-eye" view.

By default, this unit shows the map with north always at the top of the

screen. If you're navigating to a waypoint, the map also shows your

starting location, present position, course line and destination.

Using the map is as simple as pressing the PAGES key. A screen similar

to those in the following images appears. The arrow flashing in the

center of the screen is your present position. It points in the direction

you're traveling. The solid line extending from the arrow is your plot

trail, or path you've taken.

Map Page screen and various zoom levels.

Use the Zoom In and Zoom Out keys to enlarge or reduce the map's

coverage area and the amount of mapping detail shown.

The map data loaded in your iFINDER Go contains a low-detail world

map and a medium detail USA map. The Go2 model contains the same

maps plus high detail USA lake, river and coastal shoreline data.

offered by www.Busse-Yachtshop.de email: [email protected] Tel: +49 (0)4347 908234

The low-detail world map contains some large cities and most country

political boundaries. The medium-detail U.S. map contains: all

incorporated cities; shaded metropolitan areas; county boundaries;

some major city streets; Interstate, U.S. and state highways; lakes and

streams and more than 60,000 navigation aids and 10,000 wrecks and

obstructions in U.S. coastal and Great Lakes waters. The map also

contains exit services information for Interstate highways.

The iFINDER Go2 International contains a worldwide reference map

with basic coverage of country political boundaries, major lakes, rivers

and coastal waters, plus key cities, and major and minor highways.

Moving Around the Map: Zoom & Cursor Arrow Keys

The map is presented from a bird's eye view perspective. The current

zoom range shows in the lower left corner of the screen.

1. Press the ZIN key (zoom in) to move in closer and see greater detail in a

smaller geographic area.

2. Press the ZOUT key (zoom out) to move farther away and see less map

detail, but a larger geographic area.

When you are walking or riding in a vehicle, the map will automatically

move as you move. This keeps your current location roughly centered

on the screen.

You can manually pan or scroll the map northward, southward,

eastward or westward by using the arrow keys, which launches the

cross-hair map cursor. This allows you to look at map places other than

your current position. To clear the cursor, press EXIT, which jumps the

map back to the current position or the last known position.

Selecting Any Map Item with the Cursor

1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and

find the item you wish to select.

2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor cross-hair on the desired

object. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.

You will also notice a black ring surrounds the item as it becomes

offered by www.Busse-Yachtshop.de email: [email protected] Tel: +49 (0)4347 908234

selected. Once that happens, if you press FIND the Find Menu will pop

up with an extra option at the top of the list: SELECTED ITEM. Press ENT to

see the Waypoint Information screen for the selected item.

Set Home Waypoint

A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and

longitude of a position on the earth. Easy Mode allows you to save two

waypoints (Home and Man Overboard). To save a Home Waypoint: 1.

Press and release ENT. 2. The SAVE AS HOME WAYPOINT?menu appears,

with YES highlighted. To accept yes, press ENT. The waypoint appears

on the map as an X, named "Home."

Save Home Waypoint menu, left. At right, Home waypoint, with X

symbol and name. When selected by the cursor, the pop-up box appears.

The example shows waypoint set at the cursor location. If cursor was

not active, the point would be placed at the current position.

Caution:

Saving a new "Home" waypoint will overwrite and erase the

previous "Home" waypoint.

Navigate Back Home

This command will automatically take you back to the "Home"

waypoint you created.

1. Press FIND|ENT; then follow navigation arrows on the Map Page or

the compass rose on the Navigation Page.

To stop navigating to the waypoint, use the Cancel Navigation command.
