  • Page 6 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.

  • Page 7: Section 1: Read Me First

    The manual is organized into 7 sections. This first section is an intro- duction to Lowrance GPS. It tells you the basics you need to know be- fore you can make the unit look around and tell you where you are.

  • Page 8: Capabilities And Specifications: Globalmap ® 5200C

    After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many ad- vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command functions.

  • Page 12: Introduction To Gps And Waas

    These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared be- tween Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units and personal computers. This unit automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SDC. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC contain- ing a map into the GlobalMap.
  • Page 13 A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude).

  • Page 14: How To Use This Manual: Typographical Conventions

    Non aviators can use WAAS signals to make their GPS navigation even more accurate. Your unit receives both GPS and WAAS signals. How- ever, WAAS has some limits you should know about. First, the U.S. government has not completed construction of the WAAS system, so it is not yet fully operational.

  • Page 17: Section 2: Installation & Accessories

    Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1.

  • Page 18: Power Connections

    You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the end of the extension cable. To connect it to the unit, insert the cable's plug into the Network socket on the back of the unit or a double T connector attached to the unit.

  • Page 19: Powering Your Display Unit

    Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas- ier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends – either by capping them with wire nuts, wrapping them with electrical tape or both.

  • Page 20: Power Diagram A

    If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, espe- cially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from elec- trical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The display power cable has three wires, white, red and black. Red is the positive (+) lead, black is negative (–) or ground.

    (However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network. If you have a network that is already powered, see diagram Power Diagram B To unit White wire Red wire with Display Unit (unused) 3-amp fuse Power Cable Black wire All unused Data or NMEA 2000 power wires...

  • Page 23: Nmea 0183 Cable Connections

    The diagram above has a double T connector with two 120-ohm (one male and one female) terminators — one at each end of the connector. It is easy to expand this network by removing a terminator from one end of the double T connector, then inserting a new T connector or ex- tension cable between the double T connector and terminator.

    Portable Installation Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power pack and the magnet-equipped antenna module expand the uses for your GPS unit. The portable power pack makes it easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a second bracket.

    To remove an MMC 1. Open the card compartment door by unscrewing the thumb screw. The screw should only be finger tight. If it was over-tightened, use a thumbnail, a coin or a screwdriver to open the door. 2. Just press a finger against the label of the MMC and drag it from the slot.

  • Page 30: Face Cover

    Face Cover Your unit comes with a white protective cover that snaps on and off the front of the unit. This cover is intended for use when your unit and the vehicle it's mounted in are idle. WARNING: When the unit is mounted in an unprotected area, such as an open boat cockpit, the protective face cover must be removed when the vehicle is moving at high speed.

When Position Error is on, it will show you the expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the Position Error box shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location.

  • Page 41: Background Map Vs. Mapcreate Map Content

    If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles. You can con- tinue to zoom in closer, but the map will be enlarged without revealing more map content (except for a few major city streets.) Load your own high-detail custom map made with MapCreate (or a pre-made Free- domMap from LEI), and you can zoom in to 0.02 miles with massive amounts of accurate map detail.
  • Page 42 What's more important is the large scale map detail that allows your GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the background map would show you the general outline and approximate shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher de- tail in MapCreate shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail).

    When you are traveling, the map will automatically move as you move. This keeps your current location roughly centered on-screen. You can manually pan or scroll the map north, south, east or west by using the arrow keys, which launch the cross-hair map cursor. This allows you to look at map places other than your current position.

  • Page 48: Searching

    Now that you've seen how the unit can find where you are, let's search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most powerful features in the Lowrance GPS product line. In this example, we'll look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec.
