Section 1: Read Me First!
How this GPS and manual can make you a better hunter.
We know; the last thing you want to do after buying your new
iFINDER
HUNT is to look inside the manual. But before you grab
the batteries and head outside, please give us a moment or two to ex-
plain how our manual and GPS can make you a better hunter.
If you're like most hunters, you probably purchased your iFINDER
HUNT to keep from getting lost in the big woods. That's the most impor-
tant function, but this rugged GPS will also: lead you to new hunting
grounds, find more game by better scouting, improve your hunt planning
and help you recover downed game. (But it won't give you tighter
groups…you'll just have to spend more time at the range for that!)
The iFINDER HUNT and its companion mapping software, MapCre-
ate USA Hunting Topo, is the first and only GPS-mapping package on
the market with features developed especially for hunters. The two
products were introduced in the Summer of 2004, but additional hunt-
ing functions are already under development. These free features and
enhancements are planned for release as the fall hunting season ap-
proaches. We strongly recommend you check the Lowrance web
site, www.lowrance.com, for free downloads of updated software
and instruction manuals.
Our goal for this book is to get you out to the woods fast, with a mini-
mum of fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time hunting, and less
time reading 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 eight sections. This first section is an in-
troduction 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.
Section 3 is the heart of our book, Easy Mode Operation. It will intro-
duce you to the basic GPS functions. This section includes a one-page
