Lowrance iFinder Expedition C Options

[tifranta]

Hi, I apologize if this has been answered some where else in the forum.

I use a Lowarance expedition C. I wondering where on my unit I can actually "see" the coordinates move as I walk. I've been told this is a more accurate way to find a geocache. Hope everyone understands what I'm asking. Can anyone help me out? thank you.

It can but it is not a good way to find a cache. The best way to use a GPS to find a cache is to use the compass navigation screen and follow the arrow to the cache.

You can find caches by trying to match coordinates but it can be time consuming and frustrating.

I agree. Trying to read the coordinates to a destination is a little primitive. However, on my H20C I rarely use the compass (Navigation) screen. I prefer to use the Steer Arrow and Destination data fields on either the Map or Position screens depending on how close I am to my destination. The Steer Arrow guides me toward the "Go To" and the Destination field counts down the distance as I approach.

With my iFinder Hunt I use nothing but the electronic compass for caching. Just make sure you keep it calibrated.
