WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.

CAUTION

When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the waypoint is always available.

WARNING!

When a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Vehicle operators must maintain full surveillance of all pertinent driving, boating or flying conditions at all times. An accident or collision resulting in damage to property, personal injury or death could occur if the operator of a GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in motion.

Notes

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 technology, 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 information 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 introduction to Lowrance GPS. It tells you the basics you need to know before 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 installed 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!)

Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan GPS lessons that follow one another 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 experience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command functions, organized in alphabetical order.

When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap's screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, just flipping through Section 3 or scanning through the command portion of Section 4.

This unit is ready to use right out of the box, but you can fine tune and customize its operation with dozens of options. We describe how to use general system options along with GPS options in Section 5, System Setup and GPS Setup Options. Section 5 is organized in alphabetical order.

In Section 6, we go into more detail on one of the GlobalMap's most remarkable capabilities — Searching. We'll introduce a search example in the Basic GPS Operation section, but there are so many map items you can search for, we had to give this function its own section in the manual! For example, did you know this unit can look up business phone numbers, functioning as a virtual Yellow Pages? We'll show you how in Section 6.

In Section 7, we explain how to use the NMEA 2000 network that allows you to configure, calibrate and monitor devices on a NMEA 2000 network.

Finally, in Section 8, we offer Supplemental Material, including a list of the GPS datums used, warranties and customer service information.

NOTICE!

The storage and operation temperature range for your unit is from -20 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-28 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. For more information, contact the factory's Customer Service Department; phone numbers are listed on the last page of the manual.

How Lowrance GPS Works

You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap scans the sky to tell you where you are on the earth — and, where you're going (But if you already have a working understanding of GPS receivers and the GPS navigation system, skip on ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories on page 9. If you're new to GPS, read on, and 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 expert to find your way!). The GlobalMap includes a keypad and a screen with menus so you can tell it what to do. The screen also lets the unit show your location on a moving map, as well as point the way to your destination.

This gimbal-mounted GlobalMap uses an external antenna/receiver module, which makes the whole system work something like your car radio. But instead of your favorite dance tunes, this receiver tunes in to a couple of dozen GPS satellites circling the earth (It will also listen in to the WAAS satellites in orbit, but more about that in the upcoming segment introducing you to GPS and WAAS.).

Your unit listens to signals from as many satellites as it can "see" above the horizon, eliminates the weakest signals, then computes its location in relation to those satellites. Once the GlobalMap figures its latitude and longitude, it plots that position on the moving map shown on the screen. The whole process takes place several times a second!

The performance doesn't stop there. Stored in the permanent memory of each unit is a basic background map of the entire world. We lock it in here at the factory — you can't change or erase this map.

The background map is suitable for many navigation chores, but for maximum accuracy and much more detail, you need our optional map-making software, MapCreate™ 6 (This complete set of mapping data is already installed on the GlobalMap 7300 and GlobalMap 9300.). Some unit features — such as searching for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map. There is so much detail in our background map (and even more in MapCreate) that we'll describe their contents and differences in Section 3, Basic GPS Operations, on page 29.

Another portion of the GlobalMap's onboard memory is devoted to recording GPS navigation information, which includes waypoints, event marker icons, trails and routes. This lets you look back the way you came.

Think of this data storage like the hard drive memory in a computer or a tape in a cassette tape recorder. You can save several different GPS data files, erase 'em and record new ones, over and over again. Like any computer file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared between Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units or even personal computers.

This GlobalMap has one more thing in common with a personal computer. Just as computers have a floppy disk drive for storing and exchanging files, the unit has a slot for an MMC (MultiMedia Card) or SD (Secure Digital) card flash memory card. These solid-state memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp, but can hold data ranging from 8 MB to 1 GB in size (Compare that to a floppy disk's 1.44 MB capacity!). This unit uses all that MMC space for two key GPS purposes.

First, you can backup your onboard GPS Data Files by copying them to the MMC. Since the MMC is removable (like a floppy disk or a cassette tape), you can store these GPS Data Files on a personal computer equipped with an MMC card reader (Or store them on a pocketful of MMCs, if you don't have a computer.). Our MapCreate mapping software can save, edit or create its own GPS Data Files, which can be copied to the MMC and then loaded from the MMC into the unit's memory (NOTE: No matter where they come from, GPS Data Files must be loaded from the MMC into memory before the GlobalMap can use them.).

The other key GPS use for MMCs is storage of special high-detail, custom maps, which you can produce on your computer with our MapCreate software. These MapCreate custom maps contain more detail than the basic background map. These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared between Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units and personal computers.

This unit automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SD card. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC containing a map into the GlobalMap 7200, GlobalMap 8200 or GlobalMap 9200.

The GlobalMap 7300, GlobalMap 8300 and GlobalMap 9300 don't read their mapping data from memory cards. In those units, the full-detail, ready-to-use maps are already loaded on the unit's hard drives. All you need to do is use the menus to select what type of mapping data to display. The GlobalMap 7300 and 9300 hard drives contain all the data from: MapCreate Topo, our NauticPaths™ coastal charts and Fishing Hot Spots Elite® lake fishing maps.

Introduction to GPS and WAAS

Well, now you know the basics of how the unit does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page

9, so you can mount your GlobalMap and plug in the power. Or you 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 7. 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.

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. and its allies. Civilian use was also available at first, but it was less accurate because the military scrambled the signal somewhat, using a process called Selective Availability (SA).

GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation the federal government discontinued SA on May 2, 2000, after the military developed other methods to deny GPS service to enemy forces. Reliable accuracy for civilian users jumped from 100 meters (330 feet) under SA to the present level of 10 to 20 meters (about 30 to 60 feet).

Diagram showing three satellites orbiting Earth with connecting lines, no text or symbols present

A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix.

Twenty-four satellites orbit 10,900 nautical miles above the Earth, passing overhead twice daily. A series of ground stations (with precisely surveyed locations) controls the satellites and monitors their exact locations in the sky. Each satellite broadcasts a low-power signal that identifies the satellite and its position above the earth. Three of these satellites are spares, unused until needed. The rest virtually guarantee that at least four satellites are in view nearly anywhere on Earth at all times.

The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude). This is called a 3D fix.

Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencies. These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an automobile roof, even your body.

Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn't have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order for the GlobalMap to determine direction of travel, you must be moving and the faster, the better. This is not to say that it won't work at walking or trolling speeds — it will. There will simply be more "wandering" of the data shown on the display.

GPS is plenty accurate for route navigation, but the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has special needs for aircraft traffic control that go beyond basic GPS. The FAA has a program to boost GPS performance even further with its Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS. This GPS add-on will include a time control element that will help airliners fly closer together while avoiding collisions. In addition to carefully spacing airplanes along travel corridors, WAAS will eventually make instrument landings and takeoffs more accurate as it replaces existing aviation navigation systems.

Non-aviators can use WAAS signals to make their GPS navigation even more accurate. Your unit receives both GPS and WAAS signals. However, WAAS has some limits you should know about.

WAAS can boost the accuracy of land GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft. The satellites are in a fixed orbit around the Equator, so they appear very low in the sky to someone on the ground in North America. Aircraft and vessels on open water can get consistently good 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. Remember, however, that this receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation available, such as a map or chart and a compass.

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.

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. The following paragraphs explain how to interpret the text formatting for those commands and other instructions:

Arrow Keys

The arrow keys control the movement of dotted cross-hair lines on your mapping screen called the cursor. The arrow keys help you move around the menus so you can execute different commands. They are represented by symbols like these, which denote the down arrow key, the up arrow, the left arrow and the right arrow: ↓↑←→.

Keyboard

The other keys perform a variety of functions. When the text refers to a key to press, the key is shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, the "Enter/Icons" key is shown as ENT and the "Menu" key is shown as MENU.

Menu Commands

A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type like this: ROUTE PLANNING. These indicate that you are to select this command or option from a menu or take an action of some kind with the menu item. Text that you may need to enter or file names you need to select are show in italic type, such as trail name.

Instructions = Menu Sequences

Most functions you perform with this unit are described as a sequence of key strokes and selecting menu commands. We've written them in a condensed manner for quick and easy reading.

For example, instructions for navigating a trail would look like this:

1. From the Map Page, press MENU | MENU | ↓ to MY TRAILS | ENT.
2. Press ↓ to Trail 1 | ENT | → | ↓ to NAVIGATE | ENT.
3. You are asked to wait while it converts the trail into a route.
4. The wait message disappears and the GlobalMap begins showing navigation information along the trail. Now, begin moving and follow your GlobalMap.

Translated into complete English, step 1 above would mean: "Start on the Map Page. Press the Menu key twice. Next, repeatedly press (or

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. Next, press the right arrow key and then the down arrow key to highlight the Navigate command, then press Enter."

NOTE:

There are slight differences in menu structure among the Global-Map models covered in this manual. The differences are minimal, but some of the screenshots in this manual may not perfectly match some of your unit's menus.

Section 2: Installation & Accessories

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 drilling any holes in your vehicle or vessel!

1. Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the antenna and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the desired configuration.
2. Determine the approximate location for the GPS antenna module and its cable route.
3. Determine the location of your battery or other power connection, along with the power cable route.
4. Install the GPS antenna and route the antenna cable to the GPS unit.
5. Install the power cable and route it to the GPS unit.
6. Mount the GPS unit.

GPS Antenna/Receiver Module

The unit packages covered in this manual include the LGC-3000 GPS module. This device contains the unit's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals. The antenna/receiver module comes with a 15-foot extension cable. This module can be mounted on a flat surface or optional pole, or an optional magnet is available for temporary mounting on any ferrous surface.

Two electronic components: a circular sensor with a black cable and a white dome, both without any visible text or symbols.

LGC-3000 Module, bottom view (left) and top view (right).

You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the unit. The LGC-3000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly (using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000 ^® network.

NOTE:

See the module's instruction sheet, publication part number 988-0154-651, for complete installation instructions.

In an automobile, you may achieve good results by simply placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. A piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material available in recreational vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in place. This may not work well if you have a cab-over design pickup truck camper or motor home. If dashboard reception is poor, simply relocate the antenna module elsewhere on the vehicle for a clearer view of the sky.

Power Connections

Your unit comes with a power/data cable that splits into three branches, each with several exposed wires.

The thicker two-wire cable (red and black) is the power supply for your display unit. This cable has no label.

The branch with three wires (red, black and shield) is the power cable for a NMEA 2000 network. It is labeled "NMEA 2000 POWER."

The branch with 5 wires (blue, yellow, orange, green and shield) is a data cable, labeled "RS-232 COMM." It supports two serial communication ports. These allow your unit to exchange NMEA 0183 data with another device, such as an autopilot, DSC marine radio or computer.

To unit Display unit power wires: red and black NMEA 2000 power wires: red, black and shield Data cable wires: blue, yellow, orange, green and shield

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.

Caution:

All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for easier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends – either by capping them with wire nuts, wrapping them with electrical tape or both. (You should cut off the bare wire before taping off the ends.)

Powering Your Display Unit

The display unit works from a 12-volt DC battery system. Attach the display power cable (with provided 3-amp fuse) to an accessory switch or power bus. If this results in electrical interference, connect direct to a battery but install an in-line switch on the cable.

Caution:

We strongly recommend that you shut off the power supply to the power cable when the unit is not in use, especially in saltwater environments. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power cable plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. Risk of electrolysis corrosion is even greater when the cable is unplugged from the unit, but still connected to a power source.

We recommend you connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat designs. If that results in electrical 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.

WARNING:

This product must be independently fused with the enclosed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to a fused accessory or power bus.

If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive damage can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used. As with all electrical devices,

this unit could be damaged to a point that it is irreparable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused.

Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty.

If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from electrical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it.

The display power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive (+) lead, black is negative (−) or ground. Make sure to attach the in-line fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible.

For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the power bus or battery, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the power bus or battery. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short.

This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires are attached correctly.

Use this method if you are powering the display unit and a GPS module or the display unit and a NMEA 2000 network.

The network and any NMEA 2000 devices, including the GPS module, will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is connected to power. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to power even if your only NMEA 2000 device is the GPS module and it is connected to the display unit's Network socket. (However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network. If you have a network that is already powered, see diagram B.)

Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device, including a GPS module.

The method in diagram B is also used when your display unit is connected to a NMEA 2000 network that is already connected to power (Never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network.)

Powering a NMEA 2000 Network Bus

A NMEA 2000 bus must be connected to a power source to operate. NMEA 2000 devices, including GPS modules, draw their power from the network bus.

If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 network installation, it may already be connected to another power source. If you are not sure about a network's power status, consult the boat manufacturer or dealer. If your NMEA 2000 bus is already powered, you do not need to connect the NMEA 2000 Power cable and

use the method shown in Power Diagram B above. Never attach two power sources to a single NMEA 2000 bus.

If you do need to power your NMEA 2000 bus, attach the NMEA 2000 Power cable to an accessory switch as indicated in power diagram A. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached (with provided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+) terminal. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's black and shield wires should both be attached to the negative (−) terminal.

WARNING:

The NMEA 2000 network bus is always on and constantly drawing power. You must connect NMEA power to a switched power source so you can turn off the network when not in use. Failure to connect to and use a power switch will drain your boat battery, which could stop your boat's operation.

NMEA 2000 Cable Connections

NMEA 2000 is a new bus network specifically designed for boats. This is a young industry standard and, at the time of printing, some boats being built now have a NMEA 2000 bus installed. Over the next few years, however, NMEA 2000 will become much more common. To help you get the most out of this technology, your Lowrance unit is designed to work with a NMEA 2000 network.

Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network

A network bus is an installed and operational network cable (backbone) running the length of your boat, already connected to a power supply and properly terminated. Such a bus provides network connection nodes at various locations around your boat.

The NMEA 2000 network is similar to the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room, you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom.

Lowrance and LEI provide all the cables you will need to create a NMEA 2000 network. Lowrance provides T connectors and extension cables so you can add devices along the backbone wherever you want. Once you have a working network, every sensor added will come with its own T connector for easy expansion.

The simplest NMEA 2000 network is a GPS or sonar/GPS display unit with the LGC-3000, one double-T connector, two 120 ohm terminators and any extension cables needed to connect them.

LGC-3000 and display unit as an expandable NMEA 2000 network.

The diagram above has a double T connector with two 120-ohm terminators — one at each end of the connector. It is easy to expand this network by removing a terminator from one end of the double T connector, then inserting a new T connector or extension cable between the double T connector and terminator (See the NMEA 200 network general information document that came with your unit for more information).

NMEA 0183 Wiring (Data cable)

To exchange NMEA 0183 data, this unit has two NMEA 0183 version 2.0 communication ports. Serial Communications Port one (Com1) and Serial Communications Port two (Com2) can be used to transmit or receive NMEA format GPS data.

The five wires for the Serial Communications Ports are combined with the Display Unit Power cable and NMEA 2000 Power cable to form the power/data cable (shown earlier). Com1 uses the yellow wire to transmit, the orange wire to receive and the shield wire for signal ground. Com2 uses the blue wire to transmit, the green wire to receive and the shield wire for signal ground.

Expanding to a NMEA 2000 Network

A network bus is an installed and operational network cable (backbone) running the length of your boat, already connected to a power supply and properly terminated. Such a bus provides network connection nodes at various locations around your boat.

The NMEA 2000 network is similar to the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room, you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom.

Network Nodes

A network bus is built of network nodes spread along a backbone. Network nodes are made by fitting T-shaped connectors into the backbone (using the sockets on the sides), and attaching any network device to the bottom of the "T."

Using our telephone example, the T connectors on the backbone are similar to telephone jacks spread throughout a house. To pick up a phone and be able to hear a conversation from another phone in the house, both phones must be connected to the main phone line. In similar fashion, only sensors and display units plugged into the NMEA network can share information.

The network backbone is like the phone wiring that runs throughout a home. It connects the network nodes, allowing them to communicate across the network. Connections found in the middle of the bus could have T connectors or backbone network cable plugged into one or both sides. Connections at the end of a network will have the backbone cable or a T connector plugged into one side and a terminator plugged into the other, as shown in the following figure.

T connector Terminator at the very end of the bus Backbone cable (to rest of bus) Cable from sensor or display unit

NOTE:

If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not attached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from corrosion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has "Cap" stamped into the connector housing.

Adding a Network Node

You can add a node to any existing connection, anywhere along the network backbone. This connection could be between a T connector and a terminator, between two T connectors, between a T connector and a backbone extension cable or between two extension cables. Wherever you want to add the new node, separate the sockets of the existing connection and install the T connector between them.

Backbone cable Existing network node Add T-shaped connector to add new device to bus. Re-attach terminator at end of bus. LowranceNET device connects to new T connector.

Add a new device to a NMEA 2000 bus by attaching a T connector between two T connectors, between a T connector and the end terminator, or between two backbone extension cables.

If you want to add a node at the end of the backbone (network bus) remove the terminator from the last connector, like the figure above. Install the new T connector and attach the terminator to the side of the connector.

Additional Network Information

Further instructions on creating or expanding a network are illustrated in the NMEA 2000 network setup booklet, part number 988-0154-173, which came packed with manual.

NOTE:

You do not need a Bus Adapter Cable with this unit if you use an approved Devicenet NMEA 2000 connector. Approved Devicenet NMEA 2000 connectors work with Lowrance red connector display units and components, so no adapter cables are needed.

Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable

You can install the GlobalMap on the top of a dash with the supplied gimbal bracket. The GlobalMap 7200 and GlobalMap 7300 can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply.

If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-A-M® bracket mounting system. This converts the unit's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount, which can be used on the dash or overhead mounting positions. Installation instructions are supplied with the R-A-M mounting kits. R-A-M offers permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable for many vehicle types. See your Eagle dealer or visit the LEI web site (www.lei-extras.com) for the latest options; accessory ordering information is on the inside back cover of this manual. For a complete look at the many mounting options, visit the RAM web site at www.ram-mount.com.

Bracket Installation

Mount the GlobalMap in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the GlobalMap to attach the power and GPS antenna/receiver module cables (Drawings beginning on the next page shows the dimensions of the gimbal-mounted GlobalMaps.).

Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the backside of thin fiberglass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.

To pass all connectors through the 1" hole, first pass the antenna connector up through the hole from under the dash. Next, pass the power cable's bare-wire end down though the hole from the top.

If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good marine caulking compound. No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the unit.

Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs and washers. Attach the cables and the unit is ready to use.

In-Dash Installation

You can mount the GlobalMap 7200 and GlobalMap 7300 in the dash with an optional FM-3 In-Dash Adapter Kit. The kit includes mounting hardware and a template for cutting the hole.

Portable Installation

Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap 7200 and GlobalMap 7300 are capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power pack and the magnet-equipped antenna module expand the uses for your GPS unit. The portable power pack makes it

easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a second bracket. You can use your unit in your own car or boat, then take it along when riding in a friend's vehicle that's not equipped with GPS.

The portable power pack includes a sealed, rechargeable battery.

MMC or SD Memory Card Installation

Your unit uses MultiMedia Cards 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. These units can use up to two cards; an MMC and an SD card can be used at the same time.

NOTE:

Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just remember your unit can use an MMC or SD card to store data.

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. SD cards are available in capacities of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB and higher.

Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras; see ordering information inside the back cover of this manual. MMCs and SD cards are also available at many camera and consumer electronics stores.

In the GlobalMap 7200 and GlobalMap 7300, the MMC drawer is located on the front of the case. To install an MMC, twist the drawer retainer counter-clockwise and pull. The drawer will come out of the unit. Place the MMC in the drawer face down (see following figures).

Insert cards face down Drawer retainer

To remove an MMC or SD Card

1. Open the card compartment door by unscrewing the thumb screw. The screw should only be finger tight. If it was over-tightened, use a thumbnail, a coin or a screwdriver to open the door.
2. Use the ball of your finger or thumb and press down in the center of the card, then drag the MMC from the slot. Or, use a thumbnail or fingernail to grab the groove in the bottom of the MMC and drag it out. See the figure above for the groove location.

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, press down in the center of the card with the ball of your finger or thumb and push the card all the way to the left, until it is firmly seated in the slot.
3. Close the compartment door and fasten the thumbscrew finger tight.

Other Accessories

Other accessories include MMC cards, MMC card readers and Map-Create™ custom mapping software for your computer. MMC card readers are available in USB versions.

If these accessories are not available from your dealer, see the accessory ordering information on the inside back cover of this manual.

Now that you have your GlobalMap 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.

Face Cover

Your unit comes with a white protective cover that snaps on and off the front of the unit. This cover is intended for use when your unit and the vehicle it's mounted in are idle.

WARNING:

When the unit is mounted in an unprotected area, such as an open boat cockpit, the protective face cover must be removed when the vehicle is moving at high speed. This includes towing a boat on a trailer at highway speeds. Otherwise, windblast can pop off the cover.

Cleaning Towel

A lint-free microfiber towel is included for cleaning the unit's screen. The towel is highly effective in clearing away water spots, smudges and finger prints. Just wipe the screen with the dry towel — it's not necessary to moisten the towel with water. If the screen is badly soiled, you may use water or common window or lens cleaners. However, DO NOT use polishing compounds or any other abrasive product.

If you lose the towel or wear it out, you can replace it with a similar microfiber cloth. These are often available where shop towels or automobile cleaning towels are sold.

Caution:

Cleaning fabrics other than the microfiber towel type may scratch the screen. Polishing compounds or other abrasive cleaners will scratch the screen. Damage caused by incorrect cleaning is not covered by the warranty. You may wash the towel if it becomes soiled or loses its effectiveness, but do not use fabric softener. Fabric softener will ruin the towel's cleaning capability.

Section 3: Basic GPS Operations

This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tutorials presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Advanced GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utilities. Material in Sec. 4 is arranged in alphabetical order.

Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the four Page screens and how they all work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, turn to the one-page Quick Reference on page 41.

NOTE:

There are slight differences in menu structure among the Global-Map models covered in this manual. The differences are minimal, but some of the screenshots in this manual may not perfectly match some of your unit's menus.

Sounds command: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style.

Transparency command: adjusts the level of transparency for menus.

Alarms command: turns GPS alarms on or off and changes alarm thresholds.

Route Planning command: used to plan, view or navigate a route.

My Trails command: shows, hides, creates and deletes plot trails. Also used to navigate or backtrack a trail.

Cancel Navigation command: turns off the various navigation commands. Used to stop navigating after you have reached your destination waypoint, Point of Interest or map cursor location; or after you reach the end of a route or trail.

GPS Setup command: sets various GPS receiver options.

System Setup command: sets general configuration options.

Sun/Moon Calculations command: finds the rising and setting time of the sun and the moon.

Trip Calculator command: shows trip status and statistics.

Timers command: controls the up timer, down timer and alarm clock settings.

Browse Files command: this allows you to view the installed MMC card and the files it contains.

Pages

The unit has four Page displays that represent the four major operating modes. They are the Satellite Status Page, the Navigation Page, the Map Page and Radar Page (for more information on Radar see additional materials). They are accessed by pressing the PAGES key, then using → or ← to select a Page (Clear the Pages Menu by pressing EXIT.).

Satellite Status Page

The Satellite Status Page, shown, provides detailed information on the status of the GlobalMap's satellite lock-on and position acquisition. To get to the Satellite Status Page: Press the PAGES key, then use → or ← to select STATUS (Clear the Pages Menu by pressing EXIT).

No matter what Page you are on, a flashing current position indicator/question mark symbol and flashing GPS data displays indicate that satellite lock has been lost and there is no position confirmed. The Satellite Status Page shows you the quality and accuracy of the current satellite lock-on and position calculation.

WARNING:

Do not begin navigating with this unit until the numbers have stopped flashing!

The Satellite Status Page.

This screen shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead. The small inner ring represents 45^ above the horizon and the large ring represents the horizon. North is at the top of the screen. 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 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. The taller the bar on the graph, the better the unit is receiving the signals from the satellite.

The "Estimated Position Error" (horizontal position error) shown in the upper left corner of the screen is the expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the EPE shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. This also gives you an indicator of the fix quality the unit currently has. The smaller the position error number, the better (and more accurate) the fix is. If the position error flashes dashes, then the unit hasn't locked onto the satellites, and the number shown isn't valid.

The Satellite Status Page has its own menu, which is used for setting various options (Options and setup are discussed in Sec. 5.). To access the Satellite Status Page Menu, from the Status Page, press MENU.

Navigation Page

This screen has a compass rose that not only shows your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. To get to the Navigation Page: Press PAGES | → or ← to NAVIGATION | EXIT.

The navigation screen looks like the one below when you're not navigating 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 current track (direction of travel) you are taking.

The GlobalMap navigation Page, recording a trail, traveling east. Page looks like this when the unit is not navigating to a waypoint, following a route, or backtracking a trail.

When navigating to a waypoint, the Navigation screen looks like the following figure. Your ground speed, track, distance and bearing to waypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen.

NOTE:

Remember, when the Speed, Track and Position information displays are flashing, satellite lock has not been achieved and no position fix has been determined. A question mark will also flash on the position arrow in the center of the compass rose.

Speed (ground speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground (If you wish, you can customize the Speed window to display Closing Speed instead. Closing Speed is also known as velocity made good. It's the speed that you're making toward the waypoint. For instructions, see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 5.).

Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually traveling. Bearing is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present position to the destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the

Bearing window shows the compass direction straight to the destination from your location at the moment. Distance shows how far it is to the waypoint you're navigating toward.

The Off Course window shows the current cross track error. This shows the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you started navigating to the destination waypoint. The course line is shown on the Navigation Page screen (and the Map Page screen) as a dotted line.

The cross track error range is shown on the compass rose as a wide, white, corridor enclosing the course line. The outer edges of this white corridor represent lines that show the current cross track error range. The default for the cross track error range is 0.20 miles.

For example, if the present position symbol touches the right cross track error line, then you are 0.20 miles to the right of the desired course. You need to steer left to return to the desired course. You can use the ZIN or ZOUT keys to change the cross track error range.

A circular symbol depicting your destination (waypoint) appears on the screen as you approach the waypoint, as shown on the screen in the following figure.

Travel Time is the time that it will take to reach your destination at your present closing speed (You can also customize the time window to show Arrival Time instead. Arrival Time is the local time it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your present closing speed and track.).

In the example above, the driver is headed north (a 355^ track) toward a waypoint 355^ (bearing) away. The cross track error range (white corridor) is 0.20 miles either side of the course. The driver is headed toward trail waypoint 4, which is 0.14 miles away. The vehicle is virtually on course (off course 1 foot to the right). Traveling at a speed of 27 mph, the driver will arrive at the waypoint in 19 seconds.

The Navigation Page has its own menu, which is used for some advanced functions and for setting various options (Options and setup are discussed in Sec. 5.). To access the Navigation Page Menu, from the Navigation Page, press MENU.

Map Page

The Map Page screens show your course and track from a "bird's-eye" view. By default, this unit shows the map with north always at the top of the screen (This can be changed. See the topic Map Orientation, in Sec. 5.). If you're navigating to a waypoint, the map also shows your starting location, present position, course line and destination. You don't have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the map.

Map Page is the default screen that appears when you turn on the unit. To get to the Map Page from another page: Press PAGES | → or ← to MAP | EXIT. When the Map Page is displayed, a screen similar to the following figures appears.

The arrow in the center of the screen is your present position. It points in the direction you're traveling. The solid line extending from the back of the arrow is your plot trail, or path you've taken.

The map zoom range is the distance across the screen. This number shows in the lower right corner of the screen.

In the first example below, the range is 4,000 miles from the left edge of the map to the right edge of the map.

The Zoom In and Zoom Out keys enlarge or reduce the map's coverage area and the amount of mapping detail shown. There are 37 available map zoom ranges, from 0.05 miles to 4,000 miles.

Zooming in any closer will reveal no more map details because a high-detail custom map has not been loaded on the MMC.

If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles. You can continue to zoom in closer, but the map will simply be enlarged without revealing more map content (except for a few major city streets). Load your own high-detail custom map made with MapCreate, and you can zoom in to 0.05 miles with massive amounts of accurate map detail.

Numerous dots representing Points of Interest become visible at the 3-mile range, along with minor streets (center). At the 0.6-mile zoom, you can see an interstate highway with an exit, major and minor streets as well as Point of Interest icons (right).

Background map vs. MapCreate map content

The background map includes: low-detail maps of the whole world, containing cities, major lakes, major rivers, political boundaries, and medium-detail maps of the United States.

The medium-detail U.S. maps contain: all incorporated cities, shaded metropolitan areas, county boundaries, shaded public lands (such as national forests and parks) and some major city streets. Also included are Interstate, U.S. and state highways, large- and medium-sized lakes and streams and more than 60,000 navigation aids with 10,000 wrecks and obstructions in U.S. coastal and Great Lakes waters. New for 2007 are more than 3,000 enhanced lake maps that show better defined shorelines, depth contours and other underwater features.

NOTE:

The GlobalMap HD models have NauticPath charts, Fishing Hot Spots maps and all high detail MapCreate custom maps preloaded on a 30 gigabyte hard drive. If you own an HD model you do not need to load any of those high detail charts/maps into the unit. The unit can also use Navionics charts, but they must be loaded via a Navionics card.

MapCreate custom maps include massive amounts of information not found in the background map. MapCreate contains: the searchable Points of Interest database, all the minor roads and streets, all the

landmark features (such as summits, schools, radio towers, etc.); more rivers, streams, smaller lakes and ponds and their names.

What's more important is the large-scale map detail that allows your GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the background map would show you the general outline and approximate shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher detail in MapCreate shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail). Many smaller islands would not be included in the background map, but are, of course, in MapCreate.

When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square dots (left). As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the 0.6-mile zoom example (right), the cursor has selected the Cupps Café POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up box works on POIs at any zoom range.

Tip:

In some urban areas, businesses are so close to one another that their POI icons crowd each other on the screen. You can reduce screen clutter and make streets and other map features easier to see by simply turning off the display of POIs you're not watching for (To see how, check the text on Map Detail Category Selection, page 85. It shows how to use the Map Categories Drawn menu to turn individual POI displays off and on.).

The Map Page has its own menu, which is used for several functions and for setting various options. To access the Map Page Menu, from the Map Page, press MENU.

The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map Page category. To access them, press PAGES | ← or → to MAP | ↓ to Option | EXIT.

The following page contains a 12-step quick reference for the most basic GPS operations. If you don't want to carry the manual with you as you practice with the unit, you might consider photocopying this quick reference page and tucking it into your pocket.

GPS Quick Reference

Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. While you're learning, navigation in too small an area will constantly trigger arrival alarms.

1. Connect the unit to electric power and the antenna module. Make sure the MMC is in. (See complete installation details beginning on page 9.)
2. To turn on the GlobalMap, press and release PWR key.
3. Opening screen displays map of North America at the 4,000-mile zoom range. Rotate through the three main Page screens (Map Page, Satellite Status Page and Navigation Page) by pressing PAGES |← or → to select Page Name|EXIT. Switch Pages to display Satellite Status Page.
4. Wait while unit locates satellites and calculates current position. Process is visible on Satellite Page. This takes an average of 1 minute or less under clear sky conditions (unobstructed by terrain or structures). When the unit acquires position, a tone sounds and a position acquired message appears.
5. With position acquired, press PAGES key to display Map Page, which shows a bird's eye view of the earth. You can move around the map by:

Zoom in closer to see more detail: press ZIN (zoom in key).

Zoom out to see more area, less detail: press ZOUT (zoom out key).

Scroll map north, south, east or west using arrow keys . To stop scrolling and return to current position on map, press EXIT key.

1. Set a waypoint (Wpt 001) at your current position so you can navigate back here: press WPT | WPT. Waypoint symbol and "001" appears.
2. Zoom/scroll map to find a nearby object or location to go to. Use arrow keys to center cursor cross-hair over the map object or location.
3. Navigate to the selected destination: press MENU | ENT | EXIT. Follow dotted course line on Map Page or compass bearing arrow on Navigation Page.
4. At destination, Arrival Alarm goes off. To clear it, press EXIT. Cancel navigation: press MENU | MENU | ↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION | ENT | ← to YES | ENT.
5. Return to Wpt 1 by Navigate To Waypoint or Backtrack Trail. To Waypoint: press WPT | → to SAVED | ENT | ENT | ENT. Use ↑ or ↓ to select Wpt 001, press ENT | ENT; follow navigation displays. Trail: press MENU | MENU | ↓ to MY TRAILS | ENT. Press ↓ to Trail 1 | ENT | → | ↓ to NAVIGATE | ENT | ↓ to NAVIGATE | → to REVERSE | ENT | ← to NAVIGATE | ENT (If arrival alarm sounds, press EXIT). Follow navigation displays.
6. Back home, Arrival Alarm goes off; press EXIT. Cancel navigation: press MENU | MENU | ↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION | ENT | ← to YES | ENT.
7. To turn off the unit, press and hold PWR key for three seconds.

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. To correct this, be sure you are positioned so that the unit's antenna module has as clear a view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and back on again.

Moving Around the Map: Zoom & Cursor Arrow Keys

The map is presented from a bird's eye view perspective. The current zoom range shows in the lower right corner of the screen.

1. Press the ZIN key (zoom in) to move in closer and see more detail in a smaller geographic area.
2. Press the ZOUT key (zoom out) to move farther away and see less detail, but a larger geographic area.

When you are traveling, the map will automatically move as you move. This keeps your current location roughly centered on the screen.

You can manually pan or scroll the map northward, southward, eastward or westward by using the arrow keys, which launch the cross-hair map cursor. This allows you to look at map places other than your current position. To clear the cursor, press EXIT, which jumps the map back to the current position or the last known position.

Tip:

Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position (or last known position when working indoors) to any map object. Simply use the arrow keys to position the cursor over the object or landmark. The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the pop-up box. Press EXIT to clear the cursor.

The selected airport is 4.25 miles away, to the northwest.

Selecting Any Map Item with the Cursor

1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and find the item you wish to select.

2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor cross-hair on the desired object. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.

Searching

Now that you've seen how the GlobalMap can find where you are, let's search for something else. Searching is one of the most powerful features in the Lowrance GPS product line.

In this example, we'll look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Searching.

NOTE:

This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included with a high detail MapCreate 6 custom map.

After the unit has acquired a position:

1. Press WPT | ↓ to POI-RESTAURANTS.

2. You could search the entire restaurant category, but in this example, we will narrow our search. Press → to SUBCATEGORY column | ↓ to FAST FOOD CHAINS | ENT | ↓ to NEAREST | ENT.

3. The unit says it is calculating, then a list of restaurants appears, with the closest at the top of the list, and the farthest at the bottom of the list. The nearest is highlighted.

NOTE:

Search works from mapping and POI data loaded in the Global-Map. If you do not have a high-detailed custom map (containing POI data) for the area you are searching loaded on the MMC, you may not find anything.

Set a Waypoint

A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location, spot, or destination that can be stored in memory, then be recalled and used later on for navigation purposes.

You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map, or at your current position while you are navigating. You can create a waypoint at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude. You can copy waypoints from your unit to your personal computer with MapCreate software. When you want to repeat a trip, these archived waypoints can be reloaded into your GPS unit.

To create and save a Waypoint

These first two techniques use the Quick Save method, the fastest and easiest way to create a waypoint.

Create Waypoint at Current Position

While you are traveling, press WPT|WPT. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a name with a sequential number, such as "waypoint 003." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the map.

Step 1.

NOTE:

The Quick Save method uses the default waypoint symbol until you edit an existing waypoint and change its symbol (Edit Waypoint Symbol is described in Sec. 4.). After you have changed a waypoint symbol, the unit will remember the one you chose and use it the next time you "quick save" a waypoint. To return to the default symbol, edit a waypoint and choose it, use the Reset Options command (described in Sec. 5).

Create Waypoint on Map

1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the place where you want to make a waypoint.
2. Press WPT|WPT. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a name with a sequential number, such as "waypoint 001." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the map.

Create Waypoint by Entering a Position

1. Press WPT | → to SUBCATEGORY column | ↓ to NEW | ENT.
2. Press ↓ to ENTERED POSITION | ENT | → to CREATE | ENT.
3. Press → to LATITUDE|ENT. Enter the latitude by pressing ↑ or ↓ to change the first character, then press → to the next character and repeat until the latitude is correct. Press ENT.
4. Press ↓ to LONGITUDE | ENT. Enter the longitude by pressing ↑ or ↓ to change the first character, then press → to the next character and repeat until the longitude is correct. Press ENT, then EXIT | EXIT to return to the previous page display. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a name with a sequential number, such as "waypoint 001." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the map and in the waypoint list.

Navigate To a Waypoint

You can select any waypoint visible on the Map Page with the cursor, then use the Navigate to Cursor command (we'll describe how later in this section). You, however, can avoid scrolling the map to pick your waypoint if you use the Find Waypoint commands:

1. Press WPT | → to SAVED | ENT. To look up the nearest waypoint, press ↓ to NEAREST | ENT; or, to look by name (and scroll through the entire waypoint list), press ENT. For this example, look by name.
2. If your waypoint list is a long one, you can spell out the waypoint name in the FIND BY NAME box to search for it (Press ↑ or ↓ to change the first character, then press → to move the cursor to the next character and repeat until the name is correct, then press ENT to jump to the list below.).
3. If the list is short, you can jump directly to the FIND IN LIST box by pressing ENT. Use ↑ or ↓ to select the waypoint name, press ENT and the waypoint information screen appears with the Go To command selected.
4. To begin navigating to the waypoint, press ENT.

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 water. 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.

This unit has a man overboard feature that shows navigation data to the location where the feature was activated. To activate it, press the ZOUT and ZIN keys at the same time. Your position at the time these keys are pressed is used as the man overboard position.

Caution:

Saving a new "Man Overboard" waypoint will overwrite and erase the previous "Man Overboard" waypoint.

Navigate Back to MOB Waypoint

Find your way back to the accident position with the Navigation Page or Map Page. When MOB is activated, the Navigation Page automatically shows the compass rose with its bearing arrow pointing toward the man overboard position, and the destination name says "Going To Man Overboard." The Map Page displays a Man Overboard waypoint, represented by a human figure, and the steering arrow points where to steer to reach that position.

Navigate to Cursor Position on Map

The Go To CURSOR command navigates to the current cursor position on the map. It's a quick and handy way to navigate to anything you can see on the map display.

1. Use the cursor (controlled by the arrow keys) with the zoom in and zoom out keys to maneuver around the map until you find a location you want to go to.
2. Center the cursor over the location to select it. See the example in the following figure (Many map items such as waypoints, Points of Interest, towns, etc. can be "selected," and appear "highlighted" with a pop-up box. Other features, such as a river or a street intersection will not appear "highlighted," but the cursor will take you to those locations just the same.).

To stop navigating to the cursor, use the Cancel Navigation command: press MENU | MENU | ↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION | ENT | ← to YES | ENT. The unit stops showing navigation information.

Navigate to a Point of Interest

For POIs that are in view on the map, you can easily use the Navigate to Cursor command above. Just use the cursor to select the POI.

The other method involves searching for POIs with the Find Waypoint command, launched with the WPT key (See the searching example earlier in this section, or turn to Sec. 6, Searching, for detailed instructions on POI searches.).

After you have looked up an item with the Find Waypoint command, use the → to make sure the Go To command is highlighted at the top of the screen, then press ENT. The GlobalMap begins showing navigation information to the item.

To cancel navigation, press MENU | MENU | ↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION | ENT | ← to YES | ENT. The unit stops showing navigation information.

Creating and Saving a Trail

A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the Global-Map 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. On the screen, trails are represented by a solid line extending from the back of the current position arrow.

The GlobalMap is set at the factory to automatically create and record a trail while the unit is turned on. The unit will continue recording the trail until the length reaches the maximum trail point setting (default is 2,000, but the unit can record trails 9,999 points long). When the point limit is reached, the unit begins recording the trail over itself.

By default, the trail flashes once a second, making it easier to see against the background map. With the default auto setting, the GlobalMap creates a trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you change directions (The trail update rate and the methods used for creating a trail can be adjusted or even turned off. See Sec. 5 for Trail Options.).

To preserve a trail from point A to point B, you must "turn off" the trail by making it inactive before heading to point C or even back to point A. When the current trail is inactive, the GlobalMap automatically begins recording a new trail.

Navigating Trails

There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigating a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward). Try each method to see which you prefer.

Visual trailing is the simplest method. It uses only the Map Page and requires no menu commands at all. The technique works the same if you are running a trail forward (from start to end) or backward (from end to start). Visual trailing, however, provides no navigation information during the trip, such as the time to your destination.

The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward, while "backtracking" 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. At faster speeds — like traveling on the highway or on the water — the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy.

Visual Trailing

1. On the Map Page, zoom (ZIN or ZOUT) so your trail is visible.
2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page. Simply walk or steer so your current position arrow moves along the trail you have just made.

Tip:

Generally, when using this method, the smaller the zoom range, the more accurately you will be able to steer along the trail.

Navigate a Trail (forward)

The following figures illustrate the menu sequence for navigating a trail.

1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to MY TRAILS | ENT.
2. Press ↓ to the Saved Trail list, then use ↑ or ↓ to select the desired Trail Name | ENT.
3. Press → to DELETE TRAIL | ↓ to NAVIGATE | ENT.
4. Press ↓ to NAVIGATE|ENT. The unit begins showing navigation information along the trail.

NOTE:

If you are already located at or near the beginning of your trail, the arrival alarm will go off as soon as you hit Enter. Just press EXIT to clear the alarm.

1. Begin moving and let your GlobalMap guide you.
2. When you reach your destination, be sure to cancel your navigation: press MENU | MENU | ↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION | ENT. The unit asks if you're sure. Press ← | ENT.

Routes

A route is a series of waypoints linked together in an ordered sequence to mark a course of travel. You can visualize a route as a string of beads. The beads represent waypoints and the string represents the course of travel connecting waypoint to waypoint.

The course from one waypoint to the next is a leg. Routes are composed of one or more legs. The legs of all GPS routes are based on straight lines between waypoints.

A route gives users the capability to navigate through several waypoints without having to reprogram the unit after arriving at each waypoint. The GPS unit allows you to navigate forward or backward through a route. You can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!

Create and Save a Route

You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit, or you can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate 6 software.

PC-created Routes

MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate.

To load a MapCreate route into the GlobalMap, follow instructions in Map-Create's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and insert the MMC in the unit (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the GlobalMap's memory, see the entry on Transfer Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 3, Basic GPS Operations.).

Routes Created in the GlobalMap

You can create a route by selecting existing waypoints from the waypoint list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with cursor arrows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route from the map.

Section 5: System & GPS Setup Options

Alarms

This unit has three GPS alarms. The factory default setting has all the alarms 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. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when you come within 0.1 mile of the recalled waypoint.

The off course alarm warns you when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the waypoint. For example, if the alarm is set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm flashes a message if you drift 0.1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint.

The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside a preset radius. Again, using the 0.1 mile as an example, if you're anchored and your boat moves more than 0.1 mile, the alarm will flash a message and sound a tone.

IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES:

Anchor Alarm — The anchor alarm may be triggered even when you're sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than 0.05 mile) anchor alarm ranges.

Arrival Alarm — If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small number and run a route (see the Navigate Routes segment), this unit may not show navigation data to the next waypoint once you arrive at the first waypoint. You may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.

Auto Satellite Search

To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know its current position, UTC time and date. It needs this data so it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for only those satellites. Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equation, but it's rarely required to determine a position.

When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn't know your position or elevation (altitude). It does know the current UTC time and date since these were programmed into it at the factory and an internal clock keeps the time while the unit is turned off (If the time and/or date are incorrect, you can set it using the "Set Local Time" feature in the System Setup menu.).

The unit begins searching for satellites using the data it acquired the last time it was turned on, which was probably at the factory. Since it's almost certain that you're not at our factory, it's likely that it could be looking for the wrong satellites.

If it doesn't find the satellites it's looking for after approximately one minute, it switches to Auto Search. That's when the receiver looks for any satellite in the sky. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk significantly from the early days of GPS.

Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it's turned on, provided you haven't moved more than 100 miles from the last location it was used.

This unit can show a position in degrees (36.14952°); degrees, minutes and thousandths of a minute (36° 28.700'); or degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of a second (36° 28' 40.9"). It can also show position in: UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) projection; MGRS (Standard); MGRS (Standard + 10); Map Fix; Loran TD; British, Irish, Finnish, German, New Zealand, Swedish, Swiss, Taiwan, Greek and Military grids.

UTM's are marked on USGS topographic charts. This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6 degrees wide in longitude.

British, Irish, Finnish, German, New Zealand, Swedish, Swiss, Taiwan, and Greek grid systems are each the national coordinate system used only in their respective countries. In order to use these grid systems, you must be in the respective country. This unit will pick the matching datum for you when you select the grid. See the entry on Map Datum Selection for more information.

The military grid reference system (MGRS) uses two grid lettering schemes, which are referred to as standard and standard + 10 MGRS on this unit. Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you use standard, and your position is off significantly, then try the alternate.

NOTE: When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions are shown on all screens. This includes waypoints.

Map Fix

Map Fix is used with charts or maps. This system asks for a reference position in latitude/longitude, which you take from a marked location on the map. It then shows the present position as distance on the map from that reference point.

For example, if it shows a distance of UP 4.00" and LEFT 0.50", you then measure up four inches and to the left a half-inch from the reference point to find your location on the map.

Configure a map fix:

First, take your map of the area and determine a reference latitude/longitude (Please note that in order for this system to work, the latitude/longitude lines must be parallel with the edge of the map. USGS maps are parallel, others may not be. Also, this works better with smaller scale maps.). The reference position can be anywhere on the map, but the closer it is to your location, the smaller the numbers will be that you'll have to deal with.

Once you've decided on a reference position, you can save it as a waypoint. See the waypoint section for information on saving a waypoint. Save the reference position as a waypoint. Exit from the waypoint screens.

1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to GPS SETUP | ENT.
2. Press ↓ to COORDINATE SYSTEM | ENT.
3. Press ↓ to SETUP MAP Fix | ENT.

The following screen appears, and MAP SCALE is highlighted. Press ENT and enter the map's scale. This is generally at the bottom of a paper map. It's shown as a ratio, for example 1:24000. Press EXIT and the unit returns to the Configure Map Fix screen.

Simulating Trail or Route Navigation

In Simulator mode, your unit can automatically follow a trail or route without manual steering if you use these steps:

1. Go to the simulator menu as shown above. Pick a STARTING POSITION at or near the beginning of your trail/route. Enter an approximate TRACK (shown in compass degrees) that will point you toward the start of the trail/route.
2. Set SPEED to zero. Select STEER WITH ARROWS command and press ENT, which turns on the simulator and returns you to the Map Page.

3. Begin navigating along the trail/route (If you are close enough to the first waypoint, the arrival alarm will usually go off as soon as navigation begins. Press EXIT to clear the alarm.). When navigation starts, press ↑ to increase speed to the desired setting.

4. Press EXIT to turn off the steering and speed boxes. The unit will now automatically "steer" along the trail or route. When you arrive at your "destination," cancel navigation as you normally do.

Tip:

You can pick any spot on the map to begin your simulation session by using the Initialize GPS command. This makes your unit think it's located at the position you select. See the following entry.

Initialize GPS

This command is handy when you are practicing in simulator mode (See the entry in this section for GPS Simulator.). In simulator mode, this command makes the unit operate as if it is sitting someplace other than its actual location. So, you and your unit could be located in Kansas City, but practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada, Florida.

1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to GPS SETUP | ENT | ENT.

2. A message appears, telling you to move the cursor near the desired location and press ENT. When the message automatically clears, follow the message instructions.

3. In a moment, your present position marker arrow appears on the map in the location you selected with the cursor. The unit will consider that spot as its last known position until changed by either a live satellite lock-on or a new simulator location.

Map Auto Zoom

This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the button pushing that other brands of GPS receivers force you to make. It works in conjunction with the navigation features.

First, start navigation to a waypoint (See the waypoint section for more information on navigating to a waypoint.). Then, with the auto zoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from the present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward the destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom range at a time — always keeping the destination on the screen.

To turn this feature on, from the MAP PAGE, press MENU | ↓ to AUTO ZOOM | ENT | EXIT. Repeat these steps to turn it off.

Map Data

This menu lets you turn the map off, if desired (which turns the map screen into a GPS plotter); turn off or on the pop-up map info boxes; draw the map boundaries or boxes around the areas of high detail; or fill land areas with gray. You can also turn on or off Map Overlays,

which display latitude and longitude grid lines or range rings on the map. This menu lets you select Navionics Maps. For instructions, see the Navionics Charts entry in this section.

Keep in mind the size of your ship's keel when determining which option is right for your vessel.

Map Overlays (Range Rings; Lat/Long Grid)

The map screen can be customized with four range rings and/or grids that divide the plotter into equal segments of latitude and longitude.

Range rings are handy for visually estimating distances on the map. The ring diameters are based on the current zoom range. For example: at the 100-mile zoom, the screen will show two rings with your current position in the center. The large ring touching the left and right sides of the screen is 100 miles in diameter (same as the zoom range). The second smaller ring is 50 miles in diameter (always 1/2 the zoom range).

The distance from your current position to the smaller ring (the ring's radius) is 25 miles (always 1/4 the zoom range). With the arrow keys and map cursor, you can scroll the map to see the third and fourth rings. In this example, the distance to the third ring is 75 miles and distance to the fourth ring is 100 miles from your current position.

To set range rings: From the Map Page, press MENU | ↓ to MAP DATA | ENT. Press ↓ to RANGE RINGS. With the option highlighted, press ENT to check it (turn on) and uncheck it (turn off). After the option is set, press EXIT | EXIT to return to the page display.

Map Datum Selection

Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area that's covered by the map or chart. These surveys are called "Datums." Maps that are created using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly different locations.

All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire world, or just a small portion of it. By default, your position shows using the WGS-84 datum. It, however, can show your position using one of 191 different datums. To change the datum:

1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to GPS SETUP | ENT | ↓ to DATUM SELECTION | ENT.
2. Scroll ↓ or ↑ to select the desired datum, then press ENT.
3. To return to the last page displayed, press EXIT | EXIT.

A list of the datums used by this unit is in the back of this manual.

Map Orientation

By default, this receiver shows the map with north always at the top of the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on paper.

In Track Up mode, map shows "N" and arrow to indicate north.

Map 13 Chesapeake Bay 15mi

Map 60 N Chesapeake Bay 13 15mi

Map orientation shown in north up (left) and track up (right).

This is fine if you're always traveling due north. What you see to your left corresponds to the left side of the map, to your right is shown on the right side of the map, and so on. If, however, you travel any other direction, the map doesn't line up with your view of the world.

To correct this problem, a track-up mode rotates the map as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen should always be to your left, and so on.

Another option is course-up mode, which keeps the map at the same orientation as the initial bearing to the waypoint. When either the track-up or course-up mode is on, a "N" is displayed on the map screen to show you which direction is north.

To change map orientation: from the Map Page, press MENU | ↓ to MAP ORIENTATION | ENT. Use ↑ or ↓ to select the desired mode, then press ENT. Press EXIT | EXIT to return to the page display.

Navionics Map Choice highlighted. Press Ent to select the desired Navionics map from the Map Choice drop down box.

WARNING:

You should never format the MMC containing your Navionics chart. Formatting the MMC will permanently erase the chart from the card.

Overlay Data

On any Page display except Satellite Status, you can "float" or overlay additional GPS or navigation data on the screen with the Overlay Data command. For example, if you left your watch at home, you could display the local time on top of the map. Or, if you wanted to see details about your route and trip, you could show your bearing, course, average speed and trip distance.

The various data available from your unit are divided into categories in the Overlay Data menu. These categories include GPS Data, Navigation, Trip Calculator and Time.

You can select items from any of these categories for display, in any combination — the category divisions are there only to help you sort through the information.

NOTE:

The Customize command and the Overlay Data command both use the same information categories. The difference between the two

commands is that Customize changes only the digital data boxes on a screen, and Overlay Data changes only the information floating on the screen without a box. See Customize Page Displays, on page 79 for information on customizing data boxes.

Analog Gauge: uses dials to show gauge information.

Analog Slider: uses a bar graph to show gauge information.

Color Scheme: There are five color options, white, blue, black, red and green.

Needle Style: There are four needle styles, Triangular, Straight, Beveled and Big Needle.

Min/Max setup gives you the option of modifying the gauges minimum and maximum angles, values and ticks.

Minimum and Maximum Angles gives you control over the numerical layout of the gauge. You can spread the numbers out around the gauge or bunch them together in a smaller area.

Minimum and Maximum Values allows you to decide where the gauge's numbers will begin and where they will top out. For example, you may decide to start the gauge at 0, 5 or 10 and top it out at 85, 90 or 100.

Minimum or Maximum Tick controls how many tick marks will be displayed on the gauge. If you set the minimum tick to 1 and the max tick to 10, there will be 10 tick marks between 0 and 10, 10 and 20 and so on. In the case of a speedometer, that's one tick for one mile per hour. If you change the minimum tick to 2 and leave the maximum tick at 10, you'll have one tick for every two miles per hour. That's five ticks between 0 and 10, 10 and 20 and so on.

Show WAAS Alarm

When the signal is available, your unit will automatically use WAAS to boost the accuracy of the position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or acquired, an alarm message appears. Since the U.S. government is still developing the WAAS system, it's not unusual for a GPS/WAAS receiver to frequently lose and reacquire its lock on a WAAS satellite. That can result in the alarm repeatedly going on and off. If you want, you have the option of turning off the WAAS Acquired/Lost alarm without affecting how the unit uses WAAS. Here's how:

1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to GPS SETUP | ENT | ↓ to SHOW WAAS ALARM.

2. With the option highlighted, press ENT to uncheck it (turn off) and check it (turn on). After the option is set, press EXIT | EXIT to return to the page display.

3. You can return to this command and press ENT again to turn on the feature.

Software Version Information

From time to time, Lowrance updates the operating system software in some of its products. These software upgrades are usually offered to customers as free downloads from our web site, www.lowrance.com. These upgrades make the unit perform better or introduce a new feature or function. You can find out what software version is running in your GlobalMap by using the Software Information command.

Delete All Trails

To remove all of the trails from memory: from the Trails Menu, press → to DELETE ALL | ENT | ← to YES | ENT.

Update Trail Options

This menu lets you change the way trail updates occur.

WARNING:

If you uncheck the Update Trail option, automatic trail creation and recording will be turned off. You must turn it back on to record trails. The default setting is on.

From the Trails Menu, press → to TRAIL OPTIONS | ENT. With UPDATE ACTIVE TRAIL highlighted, press ENT to check it (turn on) and uncheck it (turn off).

Update Trail Criteria (Auto, Time, Distance)

The options are automatic, time, or distance. When it's in the default automatic mode, the unit doesn't update the plot trail while you're traveling in a straight line. Once you deviate from a straight line, the unit "drops" a plot point (trail waypoint) onto the trail. This conserves trail points. If a plot trail uses all of the available points allotted to it, the points at the start of the trail are removed and replaced by points at the end of the trail.

From the Trails Menu, press → to TRAIL OPTIONS | ENT | ↓ to UPDATE CRITERIA. Press ↑ or ↓ to select criteria type | ENT.

Trail Update Rate (Time, Distance)

You can update a trail by time, with a range from 1 second to 9999 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. You can update by distance, with a

range from 0.01 mile/nm/km to 9.99 mile/nm/km. The default is 0.10 miles. With one of the Update Criteria selected, use the cursor arrows to highlight either the UPDATE RATE or UPDATE DISTANCE data entry boxes and press ENT. Press ↑ or ↓ to change the first character, then press → to the next character and repeat until the entry is correct. Press EXIT to return to the Trail Options Menu.

Transparency (available in some models)

Use the transparency menu to adjust the transparency of menu windows. A high transparency allows you to continue monitoring the screen's display while adjusting feature settings, though the text of the menus may fade until it is unreadable. A low transparency will usually make menu text easier to read at the cost of watching your display.

Experiment with this feature until you find the level of transparency that matches your preferences.

Section 6: Searching

NOTE:

The Search function depends on the type of map data loaded in your unit. GlobalMap HD models are fully "searchable" out of the box because they contain a hard drive loaded with complete mapping information. These maps include all the data contained in our Map-Create custom maps, Fishing Hot Spots lake maps and NauticPath coastal charts.

For all other units, the background map loaded in your unit's permanent memory lets you search for some land features, including cities and lakes. For a full set of searchable land features, including landmarks, streets, addresses, highway exits and Points of Interest, you must load your own high-detail custom map produced with our MapCreate software. Or, you can use one of our plug and play map options such as FreedomMaps, Fishing HotSpots or NauticPath. For a complete description of what detail is found in the background map and custom MapCreate maps, see page 37.

The GlobalMap's variety of search functions all begin with either the Find Waypoint menu or the Map Page menu. Press WPT and the Find Waypoint menu appears for waypoints and Points of Interest (POI). From the Map Page, press MENU and the Map Page menu appears for streets, addresses and highway exits.
