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 way- point, but will also visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the waypoin

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

Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan GPS lessons that follow one an- other in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your way on the water or in the wilderness quickly. After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS expe- rience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many ad- vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command functions, organized in alphabe

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. St

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, cus- tom maps, which you can produce on your computer with our MapCre- ate software. These MapCreate custom maps contain much greater de- tail 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 auto

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 loca- tions in the sky. Each satellite broadcasts a low-power signal that iden- tifies the satellite and its position above the earth. Three of these sat- ellites are spares, unused until needed. The rest virtually guaran

formance 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 eventu- ally make instrument landings and takeoffs more accurate as it re- places existing aviation navigation systems. Non-aviators can use WAAS signals to make their GPS navigation even more accurate. Your unit receives both G

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 drill- ing 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 de- sired configurati

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