1 INTRODUCTION W elcome to the exciting w orld of GPS! Whether y ou’ re a first-time user or a prof essional navigator , you’ll find the GlobalMap 100 is a full-f eatured GPS receiver at a price that w as impossible just a fe w years ago . The Rockw ell ® receiver b uilt inside has 12 channels that will track all of the satellites that are in [...]

2 DGPS - What is it? If you w ant better perf or mance, (and who doesn’t?) man y manufacturers (including Lowrance) sell a DGPS receiv er that attaches to your GPS receiver .
