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 7000C 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 y

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 7000C'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 a

relation to those satellites. Once the GlobalMap 7000C figures its lati- tude 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

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 automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SDC. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC containing a map into the GlobalMap 7000C. 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 & Accessorie

A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D 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 sat- ellites to calculate a posit

First, the U.S. government has not completed construction of the WAAS system, so it is not yet fully operational. The ground stations are in place, but only a few of the needed WAAS satellites have been launched. 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 consis- tently go

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, route the cable to the unit, plug it in the center socket on the back and your system is ready to use. See the module's instruction sheet, publication part num- ber 988-0147-39, for complete installation directions. 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

CAUTION: Do not use this product without a 6-amp fuse wired into the power cable! Failure to use a 6-amp fuse will void your warranty. 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. An optional 8-foot, CA-4 external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter is available from Lowrance. NMEA/DGPS Cable Connections NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electroni
