iv 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 waypoi nt. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.
1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital GPS! We know you're anxious to begin navigating, but we have a favor to ask.
2 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's many ad- vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations . This section contains the re st of the unit's GPS command functions.
3 Case size: ......................... 5.4" H x 6.9" W x 3.4" D (13.8 x 17.6 x 8.6 cm); sealed and waterproof; suitable for saltwater use. MMC slots: ....................... One with waterproof door (SD card compati- ble). Recording: ..
4 Plot Trails: ....................... 10 savabl e; up to 9,999 points per trail. Zoom range: .................... 39 ranges; 0.02 to 4,000 miles. NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the GlobalMap ® 5200c' s on-board memory.
5 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 more detail, you need our optional map- making software, MapCreate.
6 These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared be- tween Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS uni ts and personal computers. This unit automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SDC. To use a custom map, all you n eed to do is slide an MMC contain- ing a map into the GlobalMap.
7 A minimum of three satellites are re quired to determine a 2D fix. The system requires signal receptio n from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevat ion (your height above sea level — also called altitude).
8 Non aviators can use WAAS signals to make their GPS navigation even more accurate. Your unit receives both GPS and WAAS signals. How- ever, WAAS has some limits you should know about. Fi rs t, the U . S. government has not comple ted construction of the WAAS system, so it is not yet fully operational.
9 Menu Commands A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type like this: R OUTE P LA NNING . These indicate that you are to select this command or option from a menu or take an action of some kind with the menu item.
10 Notes.
11 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.
12 You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. After th e module is installed, connect it to the end of the extension cable. T o connect it to the unit, insert the cable's plug into the Network socket on the back of the unit or a double T connector attached to the unit.
13 Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas- ier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends – either by capping them with wire nuts, wrapping them with electrical tape or both.
14 If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, espe- cially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from elec- trical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The display power cable has three wires, white, red and black.
15 (However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network. If you have a network that is already powered, see diagram B.) Power Diagram B Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device, including a GPS module.
16 The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached (with pro- vided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+) terminal. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's black and shield wires should both be attached to the negative (–) terminal. WARNING: The NMEA 2000 network bus is always on and constantly drawing power.
17 The diagram above has a double T connector with two 120-ohm (one male and one female) terminators — one at each end of the connector. It is easy to expand this network by removing a terminator from one end of the double T connector, then inserting a new T connector or ex- tension cable between the double T connector and term inator.

19 Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the GlobalMap on the top of a dash with the supplied gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply. If you use th e supplied bracket, you may be in- terested in the optional R-A-M ® bracket mounting system.
20 Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope to- ward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and antenna cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location.
21 th ou g h t he h ol e fr o m t he to p . If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good marine caul king compound. Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to conceal the opening. No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the GlobalMap.
22 Portable Installation Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power pack and the magnet-equipped antenna module expand the uses for your GPS unit.
23 To remove an MMC 1. Open the card compartment door by unscrewing the thumb screw. The screw should only be finger tight. If it was over-tightened, use a thumbnail, a coin or a screwdriver to open the door. 2. Just press a finger against the l abel of the MMC and drag it from the slot.
24 Face Cover Your unit comes with a white protective cover that snaps on and off the front of the unit. This cover is intended for use when your unit and the vehicle it's mounted in are idle.
25 Section 3: Basic GPS Operations This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tuto- rials presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Advanced GPS Operations , will discuss other more advanced functions and utili- ties.
26 and Radar. Each page represents one of the unit's major operation modes. 3. MENU – Press this key to show the menus and submenus, which allow you to select a command or ad just a feature. This also accesses search functions for streets, intersections, addresses and highway exits.
27 Main Menu. The Main Menu commands and their functions are: Screen command: changes the contrast or brightness of the display screen. Sounds command: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style. Transparency command: adjust the level of transparency for menus.
28 Browse Files command: this allows you to view the installed MMC card and the files it contains. Pages The unit has four Pages that represent the major operating modes. They are the Status, Navigation, Map and Radar Page. They are ac- cessed by pressing the PA GES key, then using → or ← t o s e l e c t a P a g e .
29 Satellites Status Page, at left. Custom Gauges feature, right. This screen shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead.
30 Highlight P RESS E NT TO ADD … and press ENT in the Overlay Data Shown menu (far left) to open the Data Vi ewer menu (center) with five ex- pandable data categories: GPS Data, Navigation, Trip Calculator, Time and Sensor Data. The right figure shows the subcategory list under the GPS Data category.
31 NOTE: One of the data display options for the Satellite Status page is "Po- sition Error" (horizontal position error), which can appear in one of the page's data boxes. When Position Error is on, it will show you the expected error from a benchmark location.
32 When navigating to a waypoint your ground speed, track, distance and bearing to waypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen. NOTE: Remember, when the Speed, Track and P osition information dis- plays are flashing, satellite lock ha s not been achieved and no posi- tion fix has been determined.
33 Navigation Page, going to a waypoint while creating a new trail. The cross track error range is shown on the compass rose as a wide, white, corridor enclosing the course line. The outer edges of this white corridor represent lines that show the current cross track error range.
34 The Navigation Page has its own menu, which is used for some ad- vanced functions and for setting various options. Options and setup are discussed in Sec. 5. To access th e Navigation P age Menu, from the Navigation Page, press MENU . Map Page The Map Page screens show your course and track from a "bird's-eye" view.
35 If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles. You can con- tinue to zoom in closer, but the map will be enlarged without revealing more map content (except for a few ma jor city streets.
36 What's more important is the large scale map detail that allows your GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the background map would show you the general outline and approximate shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher de- tail in MapCreate shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail).
37 The Map Page has its own menu, which is used for several functions and for setting various options. To access the Map Page Menu, from the Map Page, press MENU . The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map Page category. To access them, press PA GES while the unit is on the Map Page.

40 Scroll map north, south, east or west using arrow keys ↑ ↓ → ← . To stop scrolling and return to current position on map, press EXIT key. 6. Set a waypoint ( Wpt 001 ) at your current position so you can navi- gate back here: press WPT | WPT .
41 When you are traveling, the map will automatically move as you move. This keeps your current location roughly centered on-screen. You can manually pan or scroll the map north, south, east or west by using the arrow keys, which launch the cross-hair map cursor.
42 Searching Now that you've seen how the unit can find where you are, let's search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most powerful features in the Lowrance GPS product line. In this example, we'll look for the nearest fast-food restaurant.
43 POI information screen on fast food restaurant nearest this position. Screen shows name, street address, phone number, latitude/longitude, distance to restaurant and its compass bearing. Figure at left shows Go To Waypoint command; right figure shows Find On Map command.
44 Set a Waypoint A waypoint is an electronic "addre ss," based on the latitude and longi- tude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location, spot or destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled and used later for navigation purposes.
45 Create Way point at Current Position While you are traveling, press WPT | WPT . The waypoint is saved and automatically given a name with a sequential number, such as "way- point 003." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the map. Sequence for setting a waypoint.
46 Navigate to a Waypoint You can select any waypoint visible on the Map Page with the cursor, then use the Navigate to Cursor command (we'll describe how later in this section.) However, you can av oid scrolling the map to pick your waypoint if you use the Find Waypoint commands.
47 To activate it, press the ZOUT and ZIN keys at the same time. Your posi- tion at the time these keys are pr essed is used as the man overboard position. Caution: Saving a new "Man Overboard" waypoint will overwrite and erase the previous "Man Overboard" waypoint.
