How the iFINDER Explorer Works
You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the iFINDER
scans the sky to tell you where you are on the earth — and, where
you're going. (But if you already have a working understanding of GPS
receivers and the GPS navigation system, skip on ahead to Section 2,
Installation & Accessories on page 11. If you're new to GPS, read on,
and you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowl-
edge.)
Think of your iFINDER as a small but powerful computer. (But don't

with menus so you can tell it what to do. This pocket-sized unit also
contains an antenna and specialized scanning receiver, similar to a car
radio. But instead of your favorite dance tunes, this receiver tunes in a
couple of dozen GPS satellites circling the earth. The iFINDER listens
to signals from as many satellites as it can see above the horizon, elimi-
