Section 7: Hunting Mode
This section addresses Hunting Mode operation for iFINDER's main
GPS functions. If you've read through this manual in order, you're al-
ready familiar with many of the basic GPS principles that drive the
iFINDER. The principles are the same in both operating modes, so you
already know how to work your iFINDER.
If you're only interested in Hunting Mode operation, though, this sec-
tion should be the main reference you'll use for your iFINDER opera-
tion. Look through Sec. 3 and Sec. 4 to figure out how to operate any-
thing that's not obvious (like navigating routes, trails and waypoints),
but read through this section to learn all the special hunting tools that
come with the unit.
One of the major features of the iFINDER HUNT is the Compass Page.
The Compass Page appears in Advanced Mode (along with four other
pages), but to simplify operation it is one of only two pages in the
Hunting Mode. We'll go into more detail on setting up and using your
Compass Page here.
Another useful feature is the special Hunting Waypoint, which differs
from the kinds of waypoints described earlier in this manual. We'll tell
you all about how to set up and use a Hunting Waypoint later in this
section.
We'll also talk about the Scouting feature, which allows you to define
your favorite hunting area by drawing a boundary on the map. This
area will then show up on the map on your iFINDER, so you can make
always know your position within the scouted area.
But first, we want to walk you through the basics of using the iFINDER
HUNT to improve your hunting experience! The following page con-
tains a 12-step quick reference for the most basic Hunting Mode opera-
tions. There are several other ways to perform the steps described here,
but this quick reference will show you the simplest way to just park a
vehicle, walk out in the woods, and find your way back.
If you don't want to carry the manual with you as you practice with the
iFINDER, you might consider photocopying this quick reference page
and tucking it into your pocket.
