    NOTICE! The storage and operation temperature range for your GlobalMap is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celsius). Extended storage or operation in temperatures higher or lower than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your unit. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

Another portion of the GlobalMap's onboard memory is devoted to record- ing GPS navigation information, which includes waypoints, event marker icons, trails and routes.
  • Page 12 might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tutorials easy to skim. If that's the case, move on to "How to Use This Manual" on page 8. But, if you want to understand the current state of satellite navigation, look over this segment describing how GPS and its new companion WAAS work together to get you where you're going.
  • Page 13 WAAS reception, but terrain, foliage or even large man-made structures frequently block the WAAS signal from ground receivers. You'll find that using your GPS receiver is both easy and amazingly accurate. It’s easily the most accurate method of electronic navigation available to the general public today.

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

    Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your destination, for example. It’s up to you to safely navigate around obstacles, no matter how you’re using this product.

    5. Install the power cable and route it to the GPS unit. 6. Mount the GPS unit. GPS Antenna/Receiver Module Installation The GlobalMap 4000M package includes the LGC-12w GPS module. This device contains the GlobalMap 4000M's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals. The antenna/receiver module comes with a 25-foot extension cable.

  • Page 18: Power Connections

    Power Connections The GlobalMap 4000M works from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can at- tach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference.

  • Page 19: Nmea/Dgps Cable Connections

    The most popular DGPS system relies on a grid of ground-based trans- mitters that send correction signals to DGPS receivers. These in turn, connect to the GPS receiver (such as the GlobalMap 4000M). Lowrance offers an optional DGPS receiver for your unit.
