Map Mode Practice Run. Lowrance electronic Mapping GPS & MP3 Player, Pub.988-0148-641, iFinder PhD

Map Mode Practice Run

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 MMC card if desired) in battery compartment on back of case. (See installation details beginning on page 7.)

2. To turn on iFINDER PhD, press and release

PWR

key.

3. The opening screen displays either a map of North America or the music player. If the Music Mode opens up, press the

MAP/MUSIC

key to switch to Map Mode.

4. Wait while unit locates satellites and calculates current position. Flashing question mark or data boxes indicate a position has not been determined. Position calculation takes an average of one minute or less under clear sky conditions (unobstructed by terrain or structures). When position is found, a tone sounds, a position acquired message appears, data boxes stop flashing and the flashing question mark disappears.

5. With position acquired, the Map Page shows your location on the map in a bird's eye view of the earth. You can move around the map by:
