vi WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only tak[...]

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. Before you grab the GlobalMap  and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to exp[...]

2 Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan 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. After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS expe- rience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many ad[...]

3 you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowledge.) First, think of your unit as a small but powerful computer. (But don't worry — we made it easy to use, so you don't need to be a computer ex- pert to find your way!) The GlobalMap includes a keypad and a screen with menus so you can tell it what to do. The screen also [...]

4 This GlobalMap has one more thing in common with a personal com- puter. Just as computers have a floppy disk drive for storing and ex- changing files, the unit has a slot for an MMC (MultiMedia Card) or SD (Secure Digital) card flash memory card. These solid-state memory de- vices are about the size of a postage stamp, but can hold data ranging f[...]

5 companion WAAS work together to get you where you're going. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched July 17, 1995 by the United States Department of Defense. It was designed as a 24- hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year, all weather global navigation system for the armed forces of the U.S. and its allies. Civilian use was also avail- able at[...]

6 Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the sat- ellites to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order for the GlobalMap to determine direction of travel, you must[...]

7 How to use this manual: typographical conventions Many instructions are listed as numbered steps. The keypad and arrow "keystrokes" appear as boldface type. So, if you're in a real hurry (or just need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out what menu command to use by finding the boldface command text. The fol- lowi[...]

Next, press the right arrow key and then the down arrow key to highlight the Navigate [...]

9 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 c[...]

10 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 unit. The LGC-2000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly (using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000  network. NOTE See the module’s instruction sheet, publicatio[...]

You can also attach the antenna to a remote port on the network, and pass positio[...]

12 The Power/Data cable for this unit. Depending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires. The following segments include instructions for installing all the wires that you will use with this unit. CAUTION: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for easier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause[...]

13 Powering Your Unit (Power Supply cable – red and black wires) The unit works from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, at- tach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it's safer to go ahead and [...]

14 Power and optional speaker connections for the GlobalMap units cov- ered in this manual. NOTE: If you're powering a NMEA 2000 buss, you will attach both the NMEA 2000 Power cable and the unit's Power Supply cable to the boat's battery. You must also attach both the power cables to the battery when you are only connecting the GPS m[...]

You might install a small speaker at the stern of your boat so you won't miss a dangerous Shallow Alarm while fishing, or put one in your galley so you can hear the GPS Arrival Alarm. You can purchase an external speaker and the wire to connect it at your nearest audio or marine electronics[...]

16 To do so, attach the adapter cable's manual locking collar connector to the Network port on the back of the GPS unit and attach the other end to an available port on the NMEA 2000 buss, as shown in the following figure.

19 Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the GlobalMap on the top of a dash with the supplied gimbal bracket. The GlobalMap 6500 and GlobalMap 6600 can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-A-M  bracket mounting syste[...]

20 Install the gimbal bracket. Place the bracket so the arms slope toward the front of your unit. Once a location is determined, use the bracket as a template and mark the mounting holes and the hole for the cables.

23 NOTE: Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just re- member your unit can use an MMC or SDC to store data. Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp. A SD card is slightly thicker than a MMC. MMCs are available in storage capacities of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and higher. SD cards are a[...]
