Sleep Mode
When the iFINDER has more information to work with, it can provide
better weather predictions. In order to help with this, we have designed
the iFINDER with a Sleep Mode that allows it to conserve battery life,
while occasionally waking up to take a pressure reading. This allows
the unit to maintain a pressure history when you are not using it.
Caution:
If you want to record pressure history for weather prediction,
you must acquire a 3D position fix before putting the unit into
Sleep Mode. Once it has a fix and an accurate local time read-
ing, the unit will continue recording correctly timed pressure
readings even if the unit loses its position.
There are three ways to enable Sleep Mode:
1. If you're viewing the Digital Data page, press MENU and select E

Waypoints
A waypoint is an electronic address, based on the latitude and longi-
tude of a position on the earth. It represents a location, spot or destina-
tion that can be stored in memory then recalled and used later for
navigation purposes. You can create a waypoint at the cursor position
on the map or at your current position while you are navigating.
Create a Waypoint
These techniques use the Quick Save method, the fastest and easiest
way to create a waypoint.
Create Waypoint on Map
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to a place where you want to
make a waypoint.
2. Press ENT | ENT . The waypoint is saved and automatically given a
name with a sequential number, like waypoint 001. The waypoint sym-
bol and number appear on the map.
