WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the waypoint is always available. WARNING! When a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Vehicle operators must maintain full surveillance of all pertinent driving, boating or flying conditions at all times. An accident or collision resulting in damage to property, personal injury or death could occur if the operator of a GPSequipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in motion.

External Antenna

A GPS antenna requires a clear view of the sky for optimum operation. Inside a vehicle, your iFINDER can sometimes maintain satellite lock while sitting on the seat beside you, but we don't recommend this for optimum performance. Since the view is restricted to what can be seen through the windows, this operating mode will reduce position accuracy and will increase the chance of losing satellite lock. Inside a vehicle, the unit operates best with an optional external antenna mounted on the windshield, on the dash or on top of the vehicle.
The optional external antenna can use a magnetic base that allows temporary mounting on any flat ferrous metal surface. A suction-cup mount allows you to attach the antenna to a windshield. The iFINDER ExpeditionC can use the passive FA-8 antenna or the active RAA-3 antenna. The active antenna offers a further performance boost by amplifying the satellite signals it receives. This is especially helpful when operating in areas like dense forests, which can obstruct GPS signals. Your unit will automatically switch between the active RAA-3 and its internal antenna (located in the top of the case). If you purchase the passive FA-8, you must use a menu check box to manually switch between it and the internal antenna. See the topic "External Passive Antenna" in Sec. 5.
Attach the iFINDER antenna to windshield bracket with two screws.
You may achieve good results by placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. A piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material available in recreational vehicle supply stores will also help hold the antenna in place. To use the antenna: Mount it in a location with an unobstructed view of the sky. Plug the connector into the unit's antenna socket, located on the back, in the upper left corner of the case.
R-A-M Bracket Mounting Systems
Several R-A-M mounting brackets are available for your iFINDER. There are permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable for virtually any boat, aircraft, vehicle, even motorcycle handlebars.
Two R-A-M mounting systems for your unit.
One model has a mounting arm and cradle attached to a swivel ball plate that can be screwed or bolted to a supporting surface. Another has a moldable, weighted, rubber foot and gooseneck for support virtually anywhere without screws or adhesives. R-A-M even has suction cup bases for attachment to windscreens or fiberglass surfaces. See your Lowrance dealer or visit the LEI web site for the latest options. Accessory ordering information is on the inside back cover of this manual. For a complete look at the many mounting options, visit the R-A-M web site at www.ram-mount.com.

Navigate to Cursor Position on Map
The GO TO CURSOR command navigates to the current cursor position on the map. It is a quick and handy way to navigate to anything you can see on the map display. 1. Use the cursor with the zoom in and zoom out keys to maneuver around the map until you find a location you would like to visit. 2. Center the cursor over the location to select it. See the example below. Many map items such as waypoints, Points of Interest, towns, etc., can be selected and appear highlighted with a pop-up box. Other items, like a river or a street intersection, will not appear highlighted, but the cursor will take you to those locations just the same.
Navigate to cursor. In this example, the cursor crosshairs are centered on Oologah, Oklahoma.
3. Press MENU|ENT and the iFINDER will begin navigating to the cursor location. The Map Page will display a course line from your current position to the cursor position. The Navigation Page displays a compass rose showing navigation information to your destination. See the following examples.

(Standard + 10); Map Fix; Loran TD; British, Irish, Finnish, German, New Zealand, Swedish, Swiss, Taiwan, Greek and Military grids. UTM's are marked on USGS topographic charts. This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6 degrees wide in longitude. British, Irish, Finnish, German, New Zealand, Swedish, Swiss, Taiwan, and Greek grid systems are the national coordinate system used only in their respective countries. In order to use these grid systems, you must be in the respective country. This unit will pick the matching datum for you when you select the grid. See the entry on Map Datum Selection for more information. The military grid reference system (MGRS) uses two grid-lettering schemes, referred to as standard and alternate MGRS on this unit. Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you use standard, and your position is off significantly, then try the alternate MGRS. NOTE: When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions are shown on all screens. This includes waypoints. To select a coordinate system: 1. Press MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT| to COORDINATE SYSTEM|ENT|ENT. Use to highlight the desired format. Press ENT to select it. To setup Loran TD: 1. From the Coordinate System menu, press to SETUP LORAN TD and press ENT. NOTE: If the Loran TD conversion is chosen, you must enter the local Loran chain identification for the master and slaves.

To access the Loran Chain Number, Secondary Station 1 or Secondary Station 2 menus, highlight the category and press ENT. Use the keys to choose the desired setting and press ENT. Press EXIT to close the menu. Map Fix A Map Fix is used with charts or maps. This system asks for a reference position in latitude/longitude, taken from a marked location on the map. It then shows the present position as distance on the map from that reference point. For example, if it shows a distance of UP 4.00" and LEFT 0.50", you then measure up four inches and to the left a halfinch from the reference point on the map to find your location. To configure a map fix: To use this format, you need to follow these steps in order. First, take your map of the area and determine a reference latitude/longitude. NOTE: In order for this system to work, the latitude/longitude lines must be parallel with the edge of the map. USGS maps are parallel, others may not be. This works better with smaller scale maps. The reference position can be anywhere on the map, but the closer it is to your location, the smaller the numbers you will be working with. Once you have decided on a reference position, you can save it as a waypoint. See the waypoint section for information on saving a waypoint. After saving the reference position as a waypoint, exit the waypoint screens. From the Coordinate System menu press to SETUP MAP FIX|ENT. The following screens appear with MAP SCALE highlighted. Press ENT to input the map's scale. This, typically, is at the bottom of the paper map. It's shown as a ratio, like 1:24000. After inputting the map scale, press ENT.

Configure a map fix so the iFINDER can find your position on a printed chart or topographical map.
Press to SELECT ORIGIN|ENT, which will launch the Select Point window with three options: My Waypoints, Map Places and Highway Exits. If you saved the reference point as a waypoint, choose MY WAYPOINTS by pressing ENT|ENT. That will launch the Find By Nearest waypoints list with the waypoint nearest your location at the top.
