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 3600C's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS com- mand functions, organized in alphabetical order. When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap 3600C's screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of con- tents, just flipping through Section

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. 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 differ- ences in Section 3, Basic GPS Operations, on page 31. Another portion of the GlobalMap 3600C's onboar

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 11, so you can mount your GlobalMap 3600C and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tuto- rials easy to skim. If that's the case, move on to "How to Use This Man- ual" on page 8. But, if you want to understand the current state of sat- ellite navigation, look over this segment de

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

receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation avail- able, 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.

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

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 power cable. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the desired configuration. NOTE: The GPS anten

Depending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires. (For example, many units cannot operate an optional external speaker, so the white wire on the Power Supply cable isn't functional.) The fol- lowing segments include instructions for installing all the wires that you will use with this unit. Powering a NMEA 2000 Buss (NMEA 2000 Power cable) A NMEA 2000 buss must be connected to a 12-volt DC power source to operate. If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 installation, it may al- r

connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power ca- ble plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the unit power cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat de- signs. If that results in electrical interference, or if such a switch is not available, we recommend connecting direct to the battery and installing an inline switch. Th

WARNING: This product must be independently fused with the en- closed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to a fused accessory or power buss. If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive dam- age 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 unrepairable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused. CAUTION: Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cables! F
