Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Lowrance product. No other GPS receiver has the features of the GlobalMap 3000. Countless hours went into the design of this product. We hope that you enjoy using it as much as we have. -
Page 6: Power Connections
IMPORTANT! In order to pass all connectors through the 1" hole in the bracket and dash, first pass the transducer connector up through the hole, then any accessory cables. Next, pass the power cable down through the hole. Fill the hole with a marine sealant. You can now wire the power cable. Power Connections This unit operates from a 12-volt battery system. -
Page 7: Nmea/Dgps Wiring
This gives more accurate positions than is otherwise possible. NMEA/DGPS Wiring The GLOBALMAP 3000 has two NMEA 0183 version 2.0 ports. Com port one can be used for either NMEA or DGPS, Com port two is for NMEA output only. -
Page 8: Accessory Connections
SHIELD (GROUND) GLOBALMAP 3000 The GLOBALMAP 3000 can also accept position information from any GPS receiver that transmits NMEA 0183 data. Use the wiring diagram shown above for NMEA input to the GLOBALMAP 3000. See page 38 and 39 for NMEA and DGPS com port setup instructions. -
Page 9: Mmc
This unit can use up to two MMC (MultiMediaCard) cartridges. They store the maps, waypoint and route information, plot trails, and icons for trans- fer to a computer. To install a MMC cartridge, twist the drawer retainer counter-clockwise and pull. The drawer will come out of the unit. Place the MMC cartridge FACE DOWN. -
Page 10: Keyboard
KEYBOARD The keyboard has keys arranged in two vertical columns beneath the arrow keys. The menu key near the bottom left corner of the keyboard activates the first menu page. The other keys are used to zoom the dis- play, change modes, and other functions. ZOUT/ZIN - These keys “zoom”... -
Page 11: Gps Operation
GPS OPERATION NOTE: A LGC-12S GPS module or an external GPS receiver with NMEA output must be attached to this unit in order to use the position and navi- gation features. WARNING! Use this product only as an aid to navigation. A careful navigator never relies on only one method to obtain position information. - Page 12 “wandering” of the data shown on the display. If you want better performance, many manufacturers (including Lowrance) sell a DGPS receiver that attaches to your GPS receiver. The DGPS sys- tem transmits correction signals that increase the accuracy to about 10 meters.

Page 13: Finding Your Position
FINDING YOUR POSITION Auto Search To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current position, UTC time, and date. (Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equa- tion, but it’s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view. -
Page 14: Position Acquisition
Using this manual initialization method loads a position that’s close to yours into the GPS receiver. It should now have position, time, and date, thereby giving it the data it needs to determine which satellites are in view. Once the satellites are known, the receiver searches for only those satellites, making a lock faster than an auto search method. -
Page 15: Status Screen
North is at the top of the screen. You can use this to see which satellites are obstructed by ob- stacles in your immediate area if you hold the unit facing north. The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are in bold type. The receiver... -

hasn’t locked onto a satellite if the number is grayed out, therefore it isn’t being used to solve the position. Beneath the circular graph are the bar graphs, one for each satellite in view. Since the unit has twelve channels, it can dedicate one channel per visible satellite. -
Page 17: Customizing The Navigation Screen
When navigating to a waypoint, the Navigation screen looks like the one at right. Your ground speed, track, distance and bear- ing to waypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen. Closing speed is also known as velocity made good. It’s the speed that you’re making towards the waypoint. -
Page 18: Map
There are four different mapping screens: Full Map, Digital Data, Two Po- sition Formats, and Two Maps. (Note: Maps must be downloaded from a MapCreate™ CD-ROM onto a MMC. The MMC must be installed into the unit before maps will show on the screen. -
Page 19: Two Position Formats
“Two Position Formats” is similar to “Digital Data”, except it adds two present position boxes, one showing latitude/longitude and the other shows the present po- sition in UTM. “Two Maps” shows two maps side-by-side. You can customized each map with different settings. For example, the map on the left can have a zoom range of .5 miles, while the one on the right... -
Page 20: Cursor Distance
Cursor Distance You can use the cursor to find the distance between two points. While the cursor is showing, press the MENU key, then select “FIND DISTANCE”. The unit re- turns to the mapping screen. Now move the cursor to the first loca- tion that you want to measure the distance from and press the ENT key. -
Page 21: Auto Zoom
In the track-up view, the present position moves straight towards the top of the display. Remember, in the track-up mode, the screen rotates as you change direction. It always keeps your direction of travel (track) heading towards the top of the screen. TRACK-UP In the course-up mode, the screen is locked into your original bearing... -
Page 22: Range Rings/Grid Lines
Range Rings/Grid Lines The map screen can be custom- ized with rings that are 1/2 of the range and/or grids that divide the plotter into equal segments of lati- tude and longitude. To do this, press the MENU key, then high- light the desired option, then press the ENT arrow key to turn it on. -
Page 23: Icons
ICONS The map has 42 symbols or “icons” available that can be placed any- where on the screen. They can be used to mark fishing or hunting loca- tions, landmarks, boat ramps, and virtually any point of interest. An icon can be placed at your present position or at the cursor’s location. -
Page 24: Plot Trail
To erase only a certain type of icon, select the “Delete By Symbol” menu. The icon menu appears. Highlight the icon style that you want to erase from memory, then press the ENT key. The unit returns to the map screen with all of the selected icons erased. -

Page 28: Waypoints
WAYPOINTS This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of locations, called “waypoints”. You can save your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example, you may wish to store the location of your boat dock as a waypoint before starting on a trip. -
Page 29: Saving A New Position
Saving a New Position To save a position other than the cursor’s or the present position as a waypoint, first press the WPT key. The “Find Waypoint” menu appears. “My Waypoints” is high- lighted. Press the right arrow key to move to the Subcategory sec- tion. -
Page 30: Average Position

Page 33: Cancel Navigation
The Man Overboard symbol is also placed on the map screen in the appropriate location. You can use the map screen to navi- gate to the Man Overboard loca- tion, if you so desire. To stop the unit from showing navigation to the man overboard position, see the Cancel Naviga- tion section below. -
