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.
Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS satellite navigation! We know you're anxious to begin finding your way with this hand-held 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 Explorer.
The rest of Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan lessons that follow one another in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your way on the water or in the wilderness quickly. Easy Mode operation will meet the navigation needs of many users. But, after you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS experience), you may want to try out some of the iFINDER's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced Mode Operation.

nates the weakest signals, then computes its location in relation to the remaining satellites. Once the iFINDER figures its latitude and longitude, 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 internal calculations and determining its position several times a second! The performance doesn't stop there. Stored in the permanent memory of each iFINDER is a basic background map of the entire world.
You make your own Custom Map Files with our MapCreate software, but you don't have to. We also sell ready-to-use FreedomMaps. These custom maps are pre-loaded on MMCs. (No computer work required!). The iFINDER automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SD Card. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC containing a map into the unit. Introduction to GPS, WAAS and EGNOS Well, now you know the basics of how the iFINDER does its work.
A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude). This is called a 3D fix. Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencies.
There, however, are some fringe areas of the U.S., including parts of Alaska, that do not yet receive robust WAAS coverage. Continued WAAS development is planned to extend WAAS coverage in the years to come. WAAS boosts the accuracy of land GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft. The satellites are in a fixed orbit around the Equator, so they appear very low in the sky to someone on the ground in North America.
some kind with the menu item. Text that you may need to enter or file names you need to select are shown in italic type, such as trail name. Instructions = Menu Sequences Most functions you perform with the iFINDER are described as a sequence of keystrokes and selecting menu commands. We've written them in a condensed manner for quick and easy reading. For example, instructions for backtracking a trail in Easy Mode would look like this: 1. Press MENU|↓ to NAVIGATE TRAIL|ENT. 2.

Section 2: 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 external power. If the external power fails, the unit will switch to battery power. Flash memory will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life of the product. After the unit is turned off, no battery or external power is needed to store your data.
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 battery cover out of the grooves in the bottom of the case. Remove the iFINDER battery cover. Install the batteries according to the embossed signs in the battery compartment. They show the correct polarity.
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. A small clip on the connector should hold the connector in place. Attach external power cable to the iFINDER. WARNING: Do not remove the cigarette lighter adapter and splice the exposed wires directly to a 12-volt power system.
other device. This is our favorite cable for connecting the iFINDER Explorer to a laptop computer in a RV or other vehicle. By transmitting NMEA data to the computer, you can get live position data for GPScompatible mapping software. You can also run one of our free Lowrance GPS emulators on your laptop and operate it with real-time position information.
Remove an MMC Card. 4. Drag the MMC from the slot into the battery compartment. 5. Turn the iFINDER face up and give it a shake to dump the MMC into your hand or onto a work surface. To add an MMC or SDC 1. Remove battery compartment cover. 2. Remove batteries, if present. 3. Hold unit facedown in right hand. Drop the MMC card into the slot, label-up, with the notched edge toward the right. 4. Press down on the center of the label and slide the card to the right. Add an MMC Card. 5.
software, but without the necessity of using a computer. FreedomMaps are available for the United States, Canada and Europe.
The optional external antenna can use a magnetic base that allows temporary mounting on any flat ferrous metal surface. A suction-cup mount allows you to attach the antenna to a windshield. The iFINDER Explorer can use the passive FA-8 antenna or the active RAA-3 antenna. The active antenna offers a further performance boost by amplifying the satellite signals it receives. This is especially helpful when operating in areas like dense forests, which can obstruct GPS signals.
Two R-A-M mounting systems for your unit. One model has a mounting arm and cradle attached to a swivel ball plate that can be screwed or bolted to a supporting surface. Another has a moldable, weighted, rubber foot and gooseneck for support virtually anywhere without screws or adhesives. R-A-M even has suction cup bases for attachment to windscreens or fiberglass surfaces. See your Lowrance dealer or visit the LEI web site for the latest options.
Section 3: Easy Mode Operation This section addresses Easy Mode operation for the 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. Before you turn on the iFINDER, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the three Page screens and how they all work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, grab the batteries and turn to the one-page Quick Reference on page 28.

Satellite Status Page. This screen shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead. The small inner ring represents 45° above the horizon and the large ring represents the horizon. North is at the top of the screen. If you hold the unit facing north, you can use it to see which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in your immediate area.
Track or compass heading indicator, showing facing direction Compass rose Navigation information data boxes Battery power indicator Compass Page. Navigation Page At the center of the Navigation Page is a compass rose. It shows direction of travel and the direction to a recalled waypoint. When you're not navigating to a waypoint or destination, the navigation screen looks like the one in the following image. No graphic course information is displayed.
When navigating to a waypoint or following a route, the Navigation screen looks like the one shown in the next image. Your ground speed, track, distance, course and bearing to a waypoint, all can be shown digitally on this screen. The current cross-track error is shown in the XTK box. This is the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you started navigating to the destination waypoint.
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. (This can be changed using options in Advanced Mode. See the topic Map Orientation, in Sec. 5.) If you're navigating to a waypoint, the map also shows your starting location, present position, course line and destination.
Map Pages with high-detail map of an urban area loaded on the MMC. Arterial streets appear at the 4-mile zoom range (left), with a few Point icons visible. Numerous dots representing Points of Interest become visible at the 3-mile range (center). At the 0.4-mile zoom (right), you can see an interstate highway with an exit, major and minor streets as well as Point of Interest icons. Background map vs.
Interstate Major Street Cursor line Restaurant POI POI Markers POI Pop-up School POI Zoom Range Position, distance and bearing data When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square dots (left). As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the 0.3-mile zoom example (right), the cursor has selected Cholita's Mexican Restaurant POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up box works on POIs at any zoom range.
IFINDER Explorer Easy Mode Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location a few blocks away. Navigation in too small a space, like a backyard, will constantly trigger arrival alarms. 1. Install two AA batteries and an MMC card in the battery compartment on back of case. (See installation details beginning on page 11.) 2. To turn on the iFINDER, press PWR key. 3. Opening screen displays map of North America at the 4,000-mile zoom range.
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 satellite acquisition takes longer than usual, you may be inside a structure, a vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception.
Tip: Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position (or last known position, when working indoors) to any map object or location. Use the arrow keys to position the cursor over the object or place. The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the data box at the bottom of the map. Press EXIT to clear the cursor. Selecting Any Map Item with the Cursor 1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and find any item you wish to select. 2.

The example shows the home waypoint set at the cursor location. If the 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. Go Home This command will automatically take you back to the Home waypoint you created. 1.
Overboard and the Map Page displays a Man Overboard waypoint, represented by a human figure. The steering arrow will guide you to that position. The man overboard position is stored in the waypoint table for future reference. It can be edited the same as any other waypoint in Advanced Mode. This prevents the inadvertent loss of the current Man Overboard position. Tip: You don't need to have an emergency to use the MOB waypoint.
3. Press MENU|ENT and the iFINDER will begin navigating to the cursor location. The Map Page will display a course line from your current position to the cursor position. The Navigation Page displays a compass rose showing navigation information to your destination. See the following examples. The 15-mile zoom figure (left) shows the course line connecting your current position to your destination. The 60-mile zoom (center) shows both current position and destination on screen.
Creating and Saving a Trail A trail or plot trail, is a history of the path you have taken. On the screen, trails are represented by a solid line extending from the back of the current position arrow. With the default auto setting, the iFINDER creates a trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you change directions. (The method used for creating a trail and the trail update rate can be adjusted in Advanced Mode. See Sec. 5 for Trail Options.
Navigate a Back Trail 1. Press MENU|↓ to NAVIGATE TRAIL|ENT. 2. Begin moving and let your iFINDER guide you. NOTE: If you are already located at or near the beginning of your back trail, the arrival alarm will go off as soon as you hit Enter. Just press EXIT to clear the alarm and proceed. On the map, your original trail is visible as a solid line, along with a roughly parallel dotted line indicating the back trail to follow. The map contains a steer arrow in the lower right corner.
