1 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.
2 Section 3 contains short, easy-to-sc an 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.
3 Backlighting: ................... F lu o re sc en t c ol d c a th od e b ac k li t s cr ee n w it h mu l t i p le l i gh t i n g levels; backlit keypad. Input power: ................... 10 to 15 volts DC. Case size: ......................... 7.3" H x 9.
4 NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the GlobalMap's on-board memory. The amount of GPS data yo u can record and save for recall later is only limited by the number of MMC cards you have.
5 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. Some unit features — such as searching for businesses and addre sses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map.
6 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 & Accessories, on page 11, so you can mount your GlobalMa p and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text fo rmatting makes the manual tutorials easy to skim.
7 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 elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude). This is called a 3D fix.
8 You'll find that using your GPS receiver is both easy and amazingly accurate. It’s easily the most accura te method of electronic navigation available to the general public to day. Remember, however, that this receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation avail- able, such as a map or chart and a compass.
9 For example, instructions for naviga ting a trail would look like this: 1. From the Map Page, press MENU | MENU | ↓ to M Y T RAILS | ENT . 2. Press ↓ to Trail 1 | ENT | → | ↓ to N AVIGATE | ENT . 3. You are asked to wait while it converts the trail into a route.
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 insta llation 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.
13 CAUTION: Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable! Failure to use a 3-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.
14 Com-1 wiring to receive DGPS position information from a DGPS receiver. Com-1 wiring to receive NMEA position information from some other GPS receiver. Com-1 wiring to transmit NMEA position information to another NMEA-compatible device. Com-2 wiring to transmit NMEA position information to another NMEA-compatible device.
15 Optional R-A-M mounting system. Bracket Installation Mount the GlobalMap in any conven ient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's t ilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is en ough room behind the GlobalMap to attach the power and GPS antenna/rec eiver module cables.
16 Front view (left) and side view (right) showing dimensions of the GlobalMap GPS unit when mounted on a gimbal bracket. After drilling the hole, pass the antenna connector up through the hole from under the dash. Pass the power cable's bare-wire end down though the hole from the top.

18 The MMC drawer is located on the front of the case. To install an MMC, twist the drawer retainer counter-clockwise and pull. The drawer will come out of the unit. Place the MMC in the drawer face down (see following figures.) Memory card drawer on the GlobalMap 6000C and GlobalMap 5000C.
19 External Speaker Your unit can play sounds to an exte rnal speaker. This feature can be convenient any time you are away from the unit – especially in a larger boat – but still want to hear its alarms. You might install a small speaker at the stern of your boat, or put one in your galley so you can hear the GPS Arrival Alarm.

21 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.
22 Navigation Page and Map Page.) 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, inters ections, addresses and highway exits.

24 Timers command: controls the up timer, down timer and alarm clock settings. Browse MMC Files command: this allows you to view the installed MMC card and the files it contains. Pages The unit has three Page displays that represent the three major operat- ing modes.
25 Satellite Status Page. Left view indicates unit has not locked on to any satellites and does not have a fix on its position. Right view shows satellite lock-on with a 3D position acquired (latitude, longitude and altitude), and WAAS reception. This screen shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view.
26 Navigation Page This screen has a compass rose that not only shows your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. To get to the Navi- gation Page: Pre ss PAGES | → or ← to N AVIGATION | EXIT .
27 Speed instead. Closing Speed is also known as velocity made good. It's the speed that you're making towa rd the waypoint. For instructions, see the Customize Page Disp lays entry in Sec. 5.) Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually travel- ing.
28 Navigation Page, backtracking a trail while creating a new trail. In the example figure above, the driver is headed north (a 355º track) toward a waypoint 355º (bearing) away. The cross track error range (white corridor) is 0.20 miles either side of the course.
29 The map zoom range is the distan ce across the screen. This number shows in the lower right corner of the screen. In the first example fig- ure below, the range is 4,000 miles fr om the left edge of the map to the right edge of the map.
30 The medium-detail U.S. maps contain: all incorporated cities; shaded metropolitan areas; county boundarie s; shaded public lands (such as national forests and parks); some major city streets; Interstate, U.
31 can reduce screen clutter and ma ke streets and other map features easier to see by simply turning off the display o f P O I s y o u ' r e n o t watching for. (To see how, check the text on Map Detail Category Selection, page 77. It shows how to use the Map Categories Drawn menu to turn individual POI displays off and on.
32 Resize Window is another extremel y handy feature for pages that have two major windows. You can change th e horizontal size of the windows to suit your viewing preference. Here's how: 1. From any two-window display, press MENU | ↓ to R ESIZE W INDOW | ENT .

34 Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning the GlobalMap on. Under clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satel- lites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. NOTE: "Clear sky" means open sky, uno bstructed by terrain, dense foliage or structures.
35 The selected airport to the northwest is 4.25 miles away. Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor 1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and find the item you wish to select. 2. Use the arrow keys and center th e cursor cross-hair on the desired object.
