After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap 5300c's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Ad- vanced GPS Operations. When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap 5300c's screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of con- tents, just flipping through Section 3 or scanning through the command portion of Section 4.

How Lowrance GPS Works You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap 5300c 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 Sec- tion 2, Installation & Accessories on page 11. If you're new to GPS, read on, and you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowl- edge.) First, think of your unit as a small but powe

Like any com- puter file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared be- tween Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units or even personal computers. This GlobalMap 5300c has one more thing in common with a personal computer. Just as computers have a floppy disk drive for storing and ex- changing files, the unit has a slot for an MMC (MultiMedia Card) or SD (Secure Digital card) flash memory card. These solid-state memory de- vices a

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 some- what, using a process called Selective Availability (SA). GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation that the federal govern- ment 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

GPS alone is accurate for route navigation, but the U.S. Federal Avia- tion Administration has special aircraft navigation needs that go be- yond basic GPS. So, the FAA has developed a program to boost GPS performance with its Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS. The FAA commissioned the system on July 11, 2003. WAAS is designed to increa
