Section 2: Installation 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.
To unit The Power/Data cable for this unit. NOTE: There are two basic power connection options, which are shown in the following two diagrams. Read the following instructions carefully to determine which power connection applies to your unit. Depending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires.

interference, or if such a switch is not available, we recommend connecting direct to the battery and installing an in-line switch. This will let you shut off power to the power cable when the unit is not in use. When you are not using the unit, you should always shut off power to the power cable, especially when the power cable is disconnected from the unit.

MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation Your GlobalMap 5300c uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as custom maps, waypoints, trails and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD card) to store data.
To add an MMC or SD Card 1. Open the card compartment door. 2. Grasp the bottom of the MMC and push the top of the card into the slot. Once the card is started, use your fingernails to slide it the rest of the way to the left, until it is firmly seated in the slot.
This includes towing a boat on a trailer at highway speeds. Otherwise, wind blast can pop off the cover. Now that you have your GlobalMap 5300c installed, move on to Section 3, Basic GPS Operations. There, we'll present a series of step-by-step tutorials to teach you the basics of GPS navigation.

Basic GPS Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navi- gating to a location at least a few blocks away. Navigation in too small an area will constantly trigger arrival alarms. 1.
Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning on the unit. With- out obstruction from dense foliage, terrain or structures, the unit auto- matically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approxi- mately one minute or less. If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception.

Set Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoint One of boating's most terrifying events is having a friend or family member fall overboard. This situation can be deadly on any body of wa- ter. It's particularly dangerous at night or if you're out of sight of land. Of course, the first thing to do is remain calm and then use all standard safety procedures to rescue the person.
Navigate to Cursor Position on Map command: navigates to the current cursor position on URSOR the map. It's a quick and handy way to navigate to anything you can see on the map display. 1.

Creating and Saving a Trail A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the unit as you travel. It's a travel history, a record of the path you have taken. Trails are useful for repeating a journey along the same track. They are particularly handy when you are trying to retrace your trip and go back the way you came.
4. To return to the previous page, press the Edit Trail menu, you will notice that a new trail starts with a new sequential number. In the example figure below, the new trail is num- ber 2, showing zero points. Note that Trail 1 is inactive, but it is still visible on the map.

Transfer Custom Maps and GPS Data Files Custom Maps: Custom maps work only from the MMC card or SD card. When a card containing a Custom Map File is loaded into the unit, the unit auto- matically loads the map into memory when the unit is turned on. Instructions for copying Custom Map Files to an MMC are contained in the instruction manual for your MMC card reader and MapCreate soft- ware.

These are sometimes referred to as event marker icons. This unit has 63 different symbols you can pick from when creating an icon. Icons are similar to waypoints, but they do not store as much informa- tion (like names) as waypoints do. You can't use a menu to navigate to icons as you can with waypoints.

Section 5: System & GPS Setup Alarms This unit has several GPS alarms. The factory default setting has all of these but the anchor alarm turned on. You can turn the alarms off and on and change their distance settings. You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warning message and sound a tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint.
Auto Satellite Search To lock on to the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know its current position, UTC time and date. (Elevation [altitude] is also used in the equation, but it's rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view.
