GPS help

[Mr. Sheephead]

Hi Guys,

need some tips on working my H20 ifinder. I think I am starting to figure it out. I have been marking some spots and I have been finding them by zooming in at my path and walking to the little black dots that I have marked. I can not seem to see what the coordinates are at these spots or how to name them.

Any tips would help,

press the find button on the top right and it will propmt you to the one you are closest to or you can scroll and find other also. by pressing enter on the slected waypoint you should be able to do a number of things. by going left or right with the arrow buttons. I have my gps right beside me and am doing this as i type.

Now on your map page if you dont have a pop up screen at the bottom of your page press the exit key and one should pop up and that is the cords of were the cursur is. hope this helps

Spend some time with the instruction manual - getting to know how to get certain things done requires reference to the manual as these things are not real intutive. I suggest that you get the cigarette lighter power cord and sit in the driveway or out on the ice and screw around for maybe 30-45 minutes and then you'll have a decent feeling on how to get where you need to go. If you do it without the cord have a couple sets of batteries cause it eats them fast while you're tooling around with the keys.

I tip that I found with my unit is that if you turn the update rate on the trails from 1 second to say 5 or 10 seconds it saves a ton on the battery. If you are covering you Estimated Position Error in under 5 seconds, then crank it to 1 second. If I am fishing in a general area I will run it at 1 second update rate till I get there and put it to 20 seconds once I am there. If I catch a fish I still mark that spot and it gives me my location and updates my trail at that exact moment. Just something that I have found that works well. I also agree that you need to go with rechargeables!
