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
and
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.
First, we want to thank you for buying a Lowrance GPS unit. Whether
you're a first time user or a professional navigator, you'll discover that
your GlobalMap is easy to use, yet capable of handling demanding
navigation tasks. When you team your unit with our custom mapping
software MapCreate™ 6, you have an incredible combination. No other
consumer GPS mapping system on the market offers so much informa-
tion and so many features in one package.
Our goal for this book is to get you on the road fast, with a minimum of
fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time navigating and less time
reading the manual!
So, we designed our book so that you don't have to read the whole thing
from front to back for the information you want. At the start (or end) of
each segment, we'll tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a
concept you're already familiar with, we'll show you how and where to
skip ahead for the next important topic. We've also made it easy to look
up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:
The manual is organized into 8 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.
Section 2 will help you install your unit and the GPS antenna module.
We'll show you how to get the MultiMedia Card (MMC) correctly in-
stalled inside the unit. We'll also tell you about some of the available
accessories.
Section 3 covers Basic GPS Operation. It will show you how easy it is to
run the GlobalMap, right out of the box. This section features a one-
page GPS Quick Reference. (If you've already jumped ahead and
figured out how to install the unit yourself, and you just can't
wait any longer, turn to the Quick Reference on page 41 and
head for the road with your GPS unit!)
