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 GlobalMap  3500C and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best [...]

2 After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap 3500C'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. When y[...]

One with waterproof door (SD card compati- ble). Recording: ........................ MMC & SD memo ry car ds fo r rec ordi ng GPS trip details and displayin[...]

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 3500C's on-board memory. The amount of GPS data you can record and save for recall later is limited only by the number of MMC cards you ha[...]

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. The background map is suitable for many navigation chores, but for maximum accuracy and much more detail, you need our optional map- maki[...]

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 3500C. 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 [...]

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). This is called a 3D fix. Remember, the uni[...]

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. The ground stations are in place, but only a few o[...]

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. Text that you may need to enter or file names you need to select are show in italic [...]

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, connect it to the end of the Y-adapter extension cable as shown in the following dia- gram. To connect it to the unit, insert the cable's splitter plug into the Network socket on the back of the unit and your [...]

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.) The fol- lowing segments include instructions for installing all the wires that you will use with this u[...]

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. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a power sup[...]

This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat installation. Some customers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to t[...]

19 In-Dash Installation You can mount the GlobalMap 3500C in the dash with an optional FM-5 In-Dash Adapter Kit. The kit includes mounting hardware, a template for cutting the hole and an instruction sheet, part 988-0147-43. In-dash mounting template for the GlobalMap 3500C, showing dimensions. NOTE: The figure above is not printed to scale. A scal[...]

20 MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation Your GlobalMap 3500C uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as custom maps, waypoints, trails and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD card or SDC) to store data. NOTE: Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just re- member that your unit can use an MMC o[...]

21 To add an MMC or SD Card 1. Open the card compartment door. 2. Grasp the bottom of the MMC and push the top of the card into the slot. Once the card is started, use your fingernails to slide it the rest of the way to the left, until it is firmly seated in the slot. 3. Close the compartment door and fasten the thumb screw finger tight. Other Acce[...]
