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 technol-
ogy, 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
Map & Music.
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. No other consumer GPS mapping system on the
market offers so much information and so many features in one pack-
age. Not only that, the iFINDER Map & Music also makes it easy to
take your favorite music along wherever you.
Our goal for this book is to get you on the road fast, with a minimum of
fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time actually getting somewhere
and less time reading about it in the manual!
So, we designed our book so that you don't have to read the whole thing
from front to back for the information you want. At the start (or end) of
each segment, we'll tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a
concept you're already familiar with, we'll show you how and where to
skip ahead for the next important topic. We've also made it easy to look
up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:
The manual is organized into seven sections. This first section is an
introduction to Lowrance GPS. It tells you the basics you need to know
before you can make the unit look around and tell you where you are.
Section 2 will help you get the batteries and MultiMedia Card (MMC)
correctly installed in your iFINDER. We'll also tell you about some of
the accessories available for your unit.
In Section 3, we leave mechanics behind and introduce you to Music
Mode Operation. We'll tell you everything you need to know about
copying music to your MMC, and creating and using play lists. We'll
also explain how you can easily browse music on your iFINDER and
listen to your favorite tunes while navigating! If you're in a hurry to
get some music playing, skip to the Music Mode Practice Run
on Page 20 and start copying music to your MMC card!
