IMPORTANT! In order to pass all connectors through the 1" hole in the bracket and dash, first pass the transducer connector up through the hole, then any accessory cables. Next, pass the power cable down through the hole. Fill the hole with a marine sealant. You can now wire the power cable. Power Connections This unit operates from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, connect the power cable to the in-line fuse holder and attach it directly to the battery. The power cable can be atta

IMPORTANT! Do not use this product without a 6-amp fuse connected to the power cable! Failure to use a fuse will void your warranty. To prevent electrical interference, route the power, transducer, and GPS cables away from other wiring, especially the engine’s wiring harness. VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise when transmitting, so be certain to keep the unit’s wires away from it, also. NMEA/DGPS NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equip- ment. For example, an auto

ORANGE (RECEIVE) NMEA TRANSMIT COM-1 FROM GPS SHIELD (GROUND) GROUND GLOBALMAP RECEIVER 3000 The GLOBALMAP 3000 can also accept position information from any GPS receiver that transmits NMEA 0183 data. Use the wiring diagram shown above for NMEA input to the GLOBALMAP 3000. See page 38 and 39 for NMEA and DGPS com port setup instructions. Accessory Connections The rear of this unit has two connectors: Power/Data and GPS. The power cable connects to the Power/Data connector. The cable from the GP

MMC This unit can use up to two MMC (MultiMediaCard) cartridges. They store the maps, waypoint and route information, plot trails, and icons for trans- fer to a computer. To install a MMC cartridge, twist the drawer retainer counter-clockwise and pull. The drawer will come out of the unit. Place the MMC cartridge FACE DOWN. (see above) Slide the drawer back into the unit and twist the retainer clockwise. The MMC is now ready for use. To store plot trails, icons, waypoints, and routes on a MultiM

KEYBOARD The keyboard has keys arranged in two vertical columns beneath the arrow keys. The menu key near the bottom left corner of the keyboard activates the first menu page. The other keys are used to zoom the dis- play, change modes, and other functions. ZOUT/ZIN - These keys “zoom” the map in and out. PAGES - This key switches the unit between dif- ferent GPS modes. WPT - Saves and recalls waypoints. MENU - Press this key to show the menus and gain access to most functions. EXIT - Clears men

GPS OPERATION NOTE: A LGC-12S GPS module or an external GPS receiver with NMEA output must be attached to this unit in order to use the position and navi- gation features. WARNING! Use this product only as an aid to navigation. A careful navigator never relies on only one method to obtain position information. CAUTION This GPS receiver (like all GPS navigation equipment) will show the short- est, most direct path to a waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint, regardless of obstructi

Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television, GPS works at very high frequencies. The signals can be blocked easily by trees, covered docks, even your body. Never use this GPS receiver while operating a vehicle! 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 di

FINDING YOUR POSITION Auto Search To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current position, UTC time, and date. (Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equa- tion, but it’s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for only those satellites. When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn’t know what your position or elevation (altitude) is. It does know th

You can use the ZIN and ZOUT keys to enlarge the map which makes it easier and faster to find your location. The box at the bottom of the screen shows the latitude and longitude of the cursor position. A box pops up on the screen, showing the name of the nearest highway (if a MMC with a map is install

Require DGPS Normally, the unit will flash the position and navigation data when it loses the satellite fix, but it does not flash the data when it loses the DGPS fix. If you want the unit to flash the position and navigation data when it loses the DGPS data, select the Status screen, highlight “Require DGPS” and press the ENT key. Press the E

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 re- ceiving the signals from the satellite. The “Position Error” (horizontal position error) shown in the upper left cor- ner of the screen is the expected error fro

When navigating to a waypoint, the Navigation screen looks like the one at right. Your ground speed, track, distance and bear- ing to waypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen. Closing speed is also known as velocity made good. It’s the speed that you’re making towards the waypoint. The current cross track error is shown in the Off Course box. This is the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your pos

Map There are four different mapping screens: Full Map, Digital Data, Two Po- sition Formats, and Two Maps. (Note: Maps must be downloaded from a MapCreate™ CD-ROM onto a MMC. The MMC must be installed into the unit before maps will show on the screen. If your unit came with a MMC, MMC Interface, and CD-ROM, then follow the instructions in the separate booklet. If these items were not included with your unit, then you will need to purchase the accessory pack that includes these items.) The maps

“Two Position Formats” is similar to “Digital Data”, except it adds two present position boxes, one showing latitude/longitude and the other shows the present po- sition in UTM. “Two Maps” shows two maps side-by-side. You can customized each map with different settings. For example, the map on the left can have a zoom range of .5 miles, while the one on the right has a range of 10 miles. This lets you zoom-in on one side, while seeing a much larger area on the other. Press the PAGES key, then an

Cursor Distance You can use the cursor to find the distance between two points. While the cursor is showing, press the MENU key, then select “FIND DISTANCE”. The unit re- turns to the mapping screen. Now move the cursor to the first loca- tion that you want to measure the distance from and press the ENT key. Next, move the cursor to the position that you want to measure the distance to. A line is drawn from the point when the ENT key was pressed to the cursor’s present location. The distance and
