Under clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites and 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 for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To correct this, be sure you are positioned so the unit has as clear a view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and back on again. If the cursor is activated, any information the unit gives you will be based on the cursor position, not your own. If you want to find where you are, just press EXIT until the cursor goes away and the map snaps back to your position. 48 Icons Icons are graphic symbols used to mark some location, personal point of interest or event. They can be placed on the map screen, saved and recalled later for navigation purposes. These are sometimes referred to as event marker icons. The iFINDER has 42 different symbols to choose from when creating an icon. Icons are similar to waypoints, but they do not store as much information (like names) as waypoints do. You can't use a menu to navigate to icons as you can with waypoints. ( But, you can use the map cursor and navigate to any icon on the map. ) You can create an icon at the cursor position on the map or at your current position while you are navigating. Create Icon on Map 1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the place where you want to make an icon. Press and hold ENT until the screen displays Save Icon, then release the ENT key.
