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 expe- rience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap Baja 480c's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Ad- vanced GPS Operations . This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command functions, organized in alphabetical order.
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 savable; 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 Baj a 480c's o n-boa rd me mory.
5 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.
6 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 Baja 480c. Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how the unit does its work.
7 A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. 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).
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. First, the U.S. government has not completed 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 LANNING . 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, un- obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the end of the Y-adapter extension cable as shown in the following dia- gram.
13 The Power/Data cable for this unit. 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.
14 with electrical interference. Therefore, it's safer to go ahead and attach the power cable directly to the battery. CAUTION: When using the unit in a saltwater environment, we strongly rec- ommend that you shut off the power supply to the power cable when the unit is not in use.
15 Power connections for the GlobalMap Baja 480c GPS unit. NOTE: If you're powering a NMEA-2000 buss, you will attach both the NMEA-2000 Power cable and the unit's Power Supply cable to the boat's battery. To attach the NMEA-2000 Power cable, connect the red wire to battery's + and black and shield wires to battery's -.
16 face on the GlobalMap Baja 480c and receive positioning information. The GlobalMap Baja 480c can exchange information with any device that transmits or receives NMEA 0183 data. See the following diagram for general wiring connections. Read your other product’s owner’s manual for more wiring information.
17 ordering information is on the inside back cover of this manual. For a co mp le te look at the many mounting options, visit the RAM web site at www.
18 Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope toward 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.
19 If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good marine caulking compound. (Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to con- ceal 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 Baja 480c.
