Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS satellite navigation! We know you're anxious to begin finding your way with this space-age technol- ogy, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the GlobalMap begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best performance from your high- resolution, high-performance GPS+WAAS chart recorder. -
Page 10: How Lowrance Gps Works
Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan GPS lessons that follow one an- other in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your way on the water or in the wilderness quickly. After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS expe- rience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many ad- vanced navigation features. - Page 11 you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowledge.) First, think of your unit as a small but powerful computer. (But don't worry — we made it easy to use, so you don't need to be a computer ex- pert to find your way!) The GlobalMap includes a keypad and a screen with menus so you can tell it what to do.

Page 12: Introduction To Gps And Waas
This GlobalMap has one more thing in common with a personal com- puter. Just as computers have a floppy disk drive for storing and ex- changing files, the unit has a slot for an MMC (MultiMedia Card) or SD (Secure Digital) card flash memory card. These solid-state memory de- vices are about the size of a postage stamp, but can hold data ranging from 8 MB to 1 GB in size. - Page 13 companion WAAS work together to get you where you're going. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched July 17, 1995 by the United States Department of Defense. It was designed as a 24- hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year, all weather global navigation system for the armed forces of the U.S.
- Page 14 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.

How to use this manual: typographical conventions Many instructions are listed as numbered steps. The keypad and arrow "keystrokes" appear as boldface type. So, if you're in a real hurry (or just need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out what menu command to use by finding the boldface command text. - Page 16 press and hold) the down arrow key to scroll down the menu and select (highlight) the My Trails menu command. Finally, press the Enter key." Step 2 would mean: "Press the down arrow key repeatedly to scroll to the trail named Trail 1, and press Enter.

You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un- obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the unit. The LGC-2000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly (using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000 NOTE See the module’s instruction sheet, publication part number 988- 0147-981, for complete installation instructions. -

Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp. A SD card is slightly thicker than a MMC. MMCs are available in storage capacities of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and higher.

You can use this to see which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in your immediate area if the unit is facing north. The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are in bold type. The re- ceiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if the number is grayed out, there- fore it isn't being used to solve the position. - Page 40 The navigation screen looks like the one below when you're not navi- gating to a waypoint or following a route or trail. Your position is shown by an arrow in the center of the screen. Your trail history, or path you've just taken, is depicted by the line extending from the arrow. The arrow pointing down at the top of the compass rose indicates the cur- rent track (direction of travel) you are taking.

Page 48: Find Your Current Position
Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning the GlobalMap on. With an unobstructed view of the sky, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approximately 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. -

The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference be- tween them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward, while "back- tracking" follows a trail in reverse. When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use visual back trailing because it is better following each little turn on a foot path. - Page 61 Figure 1. Figure 3.
