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 ® 642c iGPS and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the b[...]

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 642c'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 cu[...]

4 NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the In telliMap 642c'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 642c 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 642c 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[...]

8 Remember that this receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation available, such as a map or chart and a compass. 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 betwe[...]

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 This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electri- cal contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat designs. If that results in electrical interference, or if such a switch is not available, we reco[...]

13 CAUTION: Failure to use the enclosed 3-amp fuse will void your warranty! For a replacement, use a type 3AG 3-amp fuse. 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. Cable connections. 3-amp fuse Rear view of unit Power Conne[...]

14 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 642c and receive positioning information. The IntelliMap 642c can exchange information with any device that trans- mits or receives NMEA 0183 data, however, a communicati[...]
