You can quickly move around the map by tapping and sliding the included stylus,
or your fingernail, across the screen. You can zoom into or out of the map using
the Zoom In and Out buttons.

and then tap Overlay & Settings to display the drop-down menu. From the list,
select Maps to display the Map List. Tap a map name in the list and the map will
open.

and hold on the currently open map with the stylus. A menu will appear showing
available maps where you selected, with a tick against the currently open map. To open another map tap on its

Viewing your GPS Position
As soon as you enter Map mode the GPS will begin acquiring a GPS lock. When a lock has been acquired the
Padlock icon will turn solid. When the button is solid, tap the button and your location will be displayed on the
map with the Position icon. As you move, the position icon will stay in the centre of the screen and the map
will scroll underneath automatically.
To check the current strength of your GPS signal tap the Extended Menu icon followed by the Settings &
Overlay icon to display the drop-down menu. From the menu select GPS > Satellites to display current signal
information. At least three green bars are required for a GPS lock, with more bars providing a more accurate
fix.
In normal use the Adventurer 3500 should be able to obtain a GPS lock within a couple of minutes. If the GPS
is being used for the first time, or has not been used for some time then it may take a little longer to acquire
your position.
Viewing additional GPS information
The Adventurer 3500 also allows you to view additional GPS information such as your current positional
coordinates (in OS grid format or Lat/Lon), your speed, heading, average speed, average heading and altitude.
To display this information tap the Extended Menu icon, follwed by Overlay & Settings and then from the
drop-down menu select GPS > Position.
This window can be moved by tapping and holding on the top blue bar and dragging to the required location,
or resized by tapping and holding in the bottom right-hand corner and dragging to the required size. You
