    Whether you're a first-time user or a professional navigator, you'll dis- cover that the iFINDER is a true pocket-sized, full-featured mapping GPS receiver. When you team an iFINDER with one of our specialized maps or our custom mapping software MapCreate 6, you have an in- credible combination.
  • Page 8: How Ifinder Works

    Section 4 covers Mapping Mode Operation. It will show you how easy it is to run the iFINDER, right out of the box. This section features a one- page Map Mode Practice Run. (If you've already jumped ahead and figured out how to install the unit yourself, and you just can't wait any longer, turn to the Practice Run on page 32 and head for the road with your GPS unit!) When you come to a GPS menu command on the iFINDER screen, you can...
  • Page 9 iFINDER listens to signals from as many satellites as it can "see" above the horizon, eliminates the weakest signals, then computes its location in relation to those satellites. Once iFINDER figures its latitude and longi- tude, it plots that position on the moving map shown on the screen. While the screen is updated once a second, your iFINDER is making these in- ternal calculations and determining its position several times a second! The performance doesn't stop there.
  • Page 10: Introduction To Gps And Waas

    24 hours a day, in all weather conditions. GPS uses 24 satellites orbiting 10,900 miles above the Earth to transmit position data back to Earth. A GPS receiver proc- esses that data to tell you where you are.

  • Page 13: Section 2: Installation & Accessories

    Installation & Accessories Power The iFINDER operates from AA batteries or on 3 volts DC using an optional external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. When the power cable is used, the iFINDER automatically switches to it if the external power is greater than the battery voltage.
  • Page 14 Battery Installation Turn the unit over so that the back is facing you. With your thumb or nail, pull back on the small clip to release the battery cover latch as shown in the following images. Once the latch is released, pull the bat- tery cover up out of the grooves in the bottom of the case.
  • Page 15: Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter

    Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter To use external DC power: Plug the power cable's cigarette lighter adapter into a cigarette lighter receptacle. Next, pull aside the rubber cover on the bottom of the unit and insert the other connector as shown in the following image.
  • Page 16: Nmea Cable Connections

    Attach headphone adapter to iFINDER. NMEA Cable Connections NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equipment. For example, an autopilot can connect to the NMEA interface on this unit and receive positioning information. The unit can exchange information with any device that transmits or receives NMEA 0183 data. To exchange NMEA data, Lowrance offers an optional data only cable and a power/data combo cable: The PC-DI7 is a NMEA/serial communications cable.
  • Page 17 NOTE: Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just re- member that your unit can use an MMC or SD card to store data. Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp.

  • Page 34: The Map Mode Display

    The Map Mode Display 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. (This can be changed. See the topic Map Orientation, in Sec. 5.) If you’re navigating to a waypoint, the map shows your starting loca- tion, present position, course line and destination.
  • Page 35 If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 10 miles. You can con- tinue to zoom in closer, but the map will simply be enlarged without revealing more map content (except for a few major city streets). Load your own high-detail custom map made with MapCreate, and you can zoom in to 0.02 miles (35.2 yards) with massive amounts of accurate map detail.
  • Page 36 background map would show you the general outline and approximate shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher detail in MapCreate shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail). Many smaller islands would not be included in the background map, but are, of course, in MapCreate.

  • Page 39: Find Your Current Position

    Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning iFINDER on. Un- der clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. NOTE: "Clear sky" means open sky, unobstructed by terrain, dense foliage or structures.
