Find Your Current Position

When you turn on the iFINDER, it automatically searches for satellites
and under clear sky conditions, calculates its position in approximately
one minute or less.
NOTE:
Clear sky means open sky, unobstructed by terrain, dense foliage or
structures. Clouds do not restrict GPS signal reception.
If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside
a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To
correct this, be sure you are positioned so the unit has as clear a view of
the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and back on again.
If the cursor is activated, any information the unit gives you will be
based on the cursor position, not your own. If you want to find where
you are, just press
back to your position.

Icons

Icons are graphic symbols used to mark some location, personal point of
interest or event. They can be placed on the map screen, saved and re-
called later for navigation purposes. These are sometimes referred to as
event marker icons. The iFINDER has 42 different symbols to choose
from when creating an icon.
Icons are similar to waypoints, but they do not store as much informa-
tion and you can not use a menu to navigate to icons as with waypoints.
But, you can use the map cursor and navigate to any icon on the map.
You can create an icon at the cursor position on the map or at your cur-
rent position, while you are navigating.
