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. Before you grab the IntelliMap ® 640c and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best p[...]

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 IntelliMap 640c'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 alphabetical order. When y[...]

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 compatible). Recording: ........................ MMC & SD cards for recording GPS trip de- tails and displaying charts or c[...]

4 NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the In telliMap 640c's on- board memory. The amount of GPS data you can record and save for recall later is limited only by the number and size of MMC cards you have. NOTICE! The storage temperature range for your IntelliMap 640c is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75[...]

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, or one of our special plug-and-play mapping cards. Some unit features — such as searching for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map. There is[...]

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 IntelliMap 640c and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tuto- rials easy to skim. If that's[...]

7 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). This is called a 3D fix. Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive the[...]

Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your destination, fo[...]

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. Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you [...]

12 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 988-0148-371, for complete installation dire[...]

13 For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the battery or power buss, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the battery or power buss. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. It uses a 3-amp fuse. Power connections for the IntelliMap 640c GPS unit. WARNING: This product must be independentl[...]

14 Cable connections. NMEA Cable Connections NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equipment. For example, an autopilot can connect to the NMEA inter- face on the IntelliMap 640c and receive positioning information. The IntelliMap 640c can exchange information with any device that trans- mits or receives NMEA 0183 data. 3-a[...]

15 However, a communications cable is not available for the unit at this time. If you need to create a NMEA 0183 connection consult customer service. Service contact information can be found in the back of this manual. NMEA Wiring To exchange NMEA data, the IntelliMap 640c has one NMEA 0183 ver- sion 2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can[...]

16 Optional R-A-M mounting system. Bracket Installation Mount the IntelliMap 640c in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the IntelliMap 640c to attach the power and GPS antenna/receiver module cables. A drawing on[...]
