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  3600C iGPS and begin installing it, please give us a mo- ment or two to explain how our manual can help you get th[...]

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 GlobalMap 3600C'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[...]

The amount of GPS data you can record and save for recall later is limited only by the number of MMC cards you have. NOTICE! The storage temperature range for yo ur GlobalMap 3600C is from -[...]

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. Some unit features — such as searching for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map. There is so much detail in our background map (and even mor[...]

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 GlobalMap 3600C 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 receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation avail- able, 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 between you and your d[...]

9 Arrow Keys The arrow keys control the movement of dotted cross-hair lines on your mapping screen called the cursor. The arrow keys help you move around the menus so you can execute different commands. They are represented by symbols like these, which denote the down arrow key, the up arrow, the left arrow and the right arrow: ↓ ↑ ← → . Ke[...]

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 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 unit. Powering a NMEA 2000 Buss (NMEA[...]

13 connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power ca- ble plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the unit power cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat de- signs. If th[...]

14 WARNING: This product must be independently fused with the en- closed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to a fused accessory or power buss. If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive dam- age can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used. As with all electrical devices, this unit could be damaged to a point that it is unrepai[...]

15 shared information. Please note the buss must be powered to operate. (See instructions in this section on powering a NMEA 2000 buss.) IMPORTANT NOTE: The data from your internal GPS receiver will not be trans- mitted across the LowranceNET NMEA 2000 network. You must have an LGC-2000 GPS antenna module in the network for that to happen. Installa[...]

18 Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope toward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power cable. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and result[...]

If you choose to fill in the hole, be sure to position the cables against the rear edge of the hole as you apply the fill material. Before positioning the bracket, be sure to hold the cables against the rear edge of the hole. Then, slide the bracket over the h[...]

20 NOTE: Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just re- member that your unit can use an MMC or SD card to store data. Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC. As this manual went to press, MMCs and SD cards were available in various storage cap[...]

21 Other Accessories Other accessories include MMC cards, MMC card readers and MapCre- ate™ 6 custom mapping software for your computer. LEI offers several specialty plug-&-play map cards, including lake contour maps and ma- rine coastal charts. A variety of LowranceNET NMEA 2000 electronic probe sensors and digital gauges are also available.[...]
