Section 1: Read Me First!
How this GPS and manual can make you a better navigator.
We know; the last thing you want to do after buying your new AtlasMNS™
is to look inside the manual. But before you grab the batteries and head
outside, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual and
GPS can make you a better navigator.
The manual is organized into eight sections. This first section is an intro-
duction to Brunton GPS. It tells you the basics you need to know before
you can make the unit look around and tell you where you are.
Section 2 will help you get the batteries and MultiMedia Card (MMC) cor-
rectly installed in your Atlas. We'll also tell you about some of the accesso-
ries available for your unit.
Section 3 is the heart of our book, Easy Mode Operation. It will introduce
you to the basic GPS functions. This section includes a one-page Easy
Mode Quick Reference. (If you've already figured out how to load the
batteries yourself, and you just can't wait any longer, turn to the
Quick Reference on page 28 and head outside with your Atlas!)
The rest of Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan lessons that follow one
another in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your
way in the wilderness quickly.
Easy Mode operation will meet the navigation needs of many users. But,
after you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS experi-
ence), you may want to try out some of Atlas's many advanced navigation
features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced Mode Operation. After we
introduce the Advanced Mode menus and submenus, this section contains
the rest of Atlas's command functions, organized in alphabetical order.
When you come to a GPS menu command on the Atlas screen, you can look it
up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents or index, just flipping
through Section 3 or scanning through the command portion of Section 4.
Atlas is ready to use right out of the box, but you can fine tune and custom-
ize its operation with dozens of options. We describe how to use general
system options along with GPS options in Section 5, System Setup and
GPS Setup Options. This section covers all operation modes.
In Section 6, we go into more detail on one of Atlas's most remarkable ca-
pabilities — Searching. We'll introduce a couple of search examples in
both the Easy and Advanced Mode sections, but there are so many map
items you can search for, we had to give this function its own section in the
manual! For example, did you know Atlas can look up business phone
numbers, functioning as a virtual Yellow Pages? We’ll show you how in
