Think of this data storage like the hard drive memory in a computer or a tape in a cassette tape recorder. You can save several different GPS data files, erase 'em and record new ones, over and over again. Like any computer file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared between Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units or even personal computers. This GlobalMap has one more thing in common with a personal computer. Just as computers have a floppy disk drive for storing and exchanging files, the unit has a slot for an MMC (MultiMedia Card) or SD (Secure Digital) card flash memory card. These solid-state memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp, but can hold data ranging from 8 MB to 1 GB in size (Compare that to a floppy disk's 1.44 MB capacity!). This unit uses all that MMC space for two key GPS purposes. First, you can backup your onboard GPS Data Files by copying them to the MMC. Since the MMC is removable (like a floppy disk or a cassette tape), you can store these GPS Data Files on a personal computer equipped with an MMC card reader (Or store them on a pocketful of MMCs, if you don't have a computer.). Our MapCreate mapping software can save, edit or create its own GPS Data Files, which can be copied to the MMC and then loaded from the MMC into the unit's memory (NOTE: No matter where they come from, GPS Data Files must be loaded from the MMC into memory before the GlobalMap can use them.). The other key GPS use for MMCs is storage of special high-detail, custom maps, which you can produce on your computer with our MapCreate software. These MapCreate custom maps contain more detail than the basic background map. These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared between Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units and personal computers. This unit automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SD card. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC containing a map into the GlobalMap 7200, GlobalMap 8200 or GlobalMap 9200. The GlobalMap 7300, GlobalMap 8300 and GlobalMap 9300 don't read their mapping data from memory cards. In those units, the full-detail, ready-to-use maps are already loaded on the unit's hard drives. All you need to do is use the menus to select what type of mapping data to display. The GlobalMap 7300 and 9300 hard drives contain all the data from: MapCreate Topo, our NauticPaths coastal charts and Fishing Hot Spots Elite lake fishing maps.
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 4
9, so you can mount your GlobalMap and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tutorials easy to skim. If that's the case, move on to "How to Use This Manual" on page 7. But, if you want to understand the current state of satellite navigation, look over this segment describing how GPS and its new 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 24hour-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 available at first, but it was less accurate because the military scrambled the signal somewhat, using a process called Selective Availability (SA). GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation the federal government discontinued SA on May 2, 2000, after the military developed other methods to deny GPS service to enemy forces. Reliable accuracy for civilian users jumped from 100 meters (330 feet) under SA to the present level of 10 to 20 meters (about 30 to 60 feet).

The Map Page has its own menu, which is used for several functions and for setting various options. To access the Map Page Menu, from the Map Page, press MENU. The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map Page category. To access them, press PAGES| or to MAP| to Option|EXIT. 38

This allows you to change which map the cursor, keyboard and menus operate on. "Active window" will be displayed at the top of the active window. Resize Window is another extremely handy feature for pages that have two major windows. You can change the horizontal size of the windows to suit your viewing preference. Here's how: 1. From any two-window display, press MENU| to RESIZE WINDOW|ENT. 2. Two flashing arrows appear along the centerline dividing the two windows. Press or to adjust the window widths. Press EXIT to clear the menu. 3. To change the window size again or go back to the original display, just follow the steps above (Most dual-window displays use half the screen for each window by default.). You can also use the Reset Options command to revert to the factory default. 39

The following page contains a 12-step quick reference for the most basic GPS operations. If you don't want to carry the manual with you as you practice with the unit, you might consider photocopying this quick reference page and tucking it into your pocket.

GPS Quick Reference

Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. While you're learning, navigation in too small an area will constantly trigger arrival alarms. 1. Connect the unit to electric power and the antenna module. Make sure the MMC is in. (See complete installation details beginning on page 9.) 2. To turn on the GlobalMap, press and release PWR key. 3. Opening screen displays map of North America at the 4,000-mile zoom range. Rotate through the three main Page screens (Map Page, Satellite Status Page and Navigation Page) by pressing PAGES| or to select Page Name|EXIT. Switch Pages to display Satellite Status Page. 4. Wait while unit locates satellites and calculates current position. Process is visible on Satellite Page. This takes an average of 1 minute or less under clear sky conditions (unobstructed by terrain or structures). When the unit acquires position, a tone sounds and a position acquired message appears. 5. With position acquired, press PAGES key to display Map Page, which shows a bird's eye view of the earth. You can move around the map by: Zoom in closer to see more detail: press ZIN (zoom in key). Zoom out to see more area, less detail: press ZOUT (zoom out key). Scroll map north, south, east or west using arrow keys . To stop scrolling and return to current position on map, press EXIT key. 6.

Searching

Now that you've seen how the GlobalMap can find where you are, let's search for something else. Searching is one of the most powerful features in the Lowrance GPS product line. In this example, we'll look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Searching. NOTE: This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included with a high detail MapCreate 6 custom map. After the unit has acquired a position: 1. Press WPT| to POI-RESTAURANTS. 2. You could search the entire restaurant category, but in this example, we will narrow our search. Press to SUBCATEGORY column| to FAST FOOD CHAINS|ENT| to NEAREST|ENT. 3. The unit says it is calculating, then a list of restaurants appears, with the closest at the top of the list, and the farthest at the bottom of the list. The nearest is highlighted. 43
Category Selection menu (left); list of the nearest restaurants (right).
4. If you wish, you could scroll or here to select another restaurant, but for now we will just accept the nearest one. Press ENT. 5. The POI information screen appears (This is how you can use the GlobalMap as a business phone directory!). If you wanted to navigate there, you could press ENT, since the GO TO command is highlighted. But we just want to see it on the map, so press to FIND ON MAP|ENT.
The POI information screen shows name, street address, phone number, latitude/longitude, distance to restaurant and its compass bearing. The Go To command (left); Find On Map command (right).
6. The unit's map appears, with the cross-hair cursor highlighting the restaurant's POI symbol. A pop-up name box identifies the POI, as well as its distance and bearing. A data box at the bottom of the screen continues to display the location's latitude and longitude. 7. To clear the search and return to the last page displayed, press EXIT|EXIT|EXIT|EXIT (Before you completely exited out of the Search menus, you could have gone looking for another place.).
Map screen showing Find Waypoint, the result of a restaurant search.
NOTE: Search works from mapping and POI data loaded in the GlobalMap. If you do not have a high-detailed custom map (containing POI data) for the area you are searching loaded on the MMC, you may not find anything.

Set a Waypoint

A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location, spot, or destination that can be stored in memory, then be recalled and used later on for navigation purposes. You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map, or at your current position while you are navigating. You can create a waypoint at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude. You can copy waypoints from your unit to your personal computer with MapCreate software. When you want to repeat a trip, these archived waypoints can be reloaded into your GPS unit. To create and save a Waypoint These first two techniques use the Quick Save method, the fastest and easiest way to create a waypoint.

Section 5: System & GPS Setup Options

Alarms

This unit has three GPS alarms. The factory default setting has all the alarms turned on. You can turn the alarms off and on and change their distance settings. You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warning message and sound a tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when you come within 0.1 mile of the recalled waypoint. The off course alarm warns you when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the waypoint. For example, if the alarm is set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm flashes a message if you drift 0.1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint. The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside a preset radius. Again, using the 0.1 mile as an example, if you're anchored and your boat moves more than 0.1 mile, the alarm will flash a message and sound a tone.
Alarms command (left); Alarm menu (right).
To change alarm settings: 1. Press MENU|MENU| to ALARMS|ENT|ENT. 2. Scroll or to select the desired category, then press ENT to check or clear the Enabled box. This turns the alarm on (checked) or off (unchecked). 73
3. To change distance settings, scroll or to select the desired category, then press |ENT to activate the distance dialog box. Press or to change the first character, then press to the next character and repeat until the name is correct. 4. When your adjustments are finished, return to the last page displayed by repeatedly pressing EXIT. IMPORTANT ALARM NOTES: Anchor Alarm The anchor alarm may be triggered even when you're sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than 0.05 mile) anchor alarm ranges. Arrival Alarm If you set the arrival alarm's distance to a small number and run a route (see the Navigate Routes segment), this unit may not show navigation data to the next waypoint once you arrive at the first waypoint. You may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.

Auto Satellite Search

To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know its current position, UTC time and date. It needs this data so it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for only those satellites. Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equation, but it's rarely required to determine a position. When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn't know your position or elevation (altitude). It does know the current UTC time and date since these were programmed into it at the factory and an internal clock keeps the time while the unit is turned off (If the time and/or date are incorrect, you can set it using the "Set Local Time" feature in the System Setup menu.). The unit begins searching for satellites using the data it acquired the last time it was turned on, which was probably at the factory. Since it's almost certain that you're not at our factory, it's likely that it could be looking for the wrong satellites. If it doesn't find the satellites it's looking for after approximately one minute, it switches to Auto Search. That's when the receiver looks for any satellite in the sky. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk significantly from the early days of GPS. Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it's turned on, provided you haven't moved more than 100 miles from the last location it was used. 74

To get to Coordinate System Selection: 1. Press MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT. 2. Press to COORDINATE SYSTEM|ENT. This unit can show a position in degrees (36.14952); degrees, minutes and thousandths of a minute (36 28.700'); or degrees, minutes, seconds and tenths of a second (36 28' 40.9"). It can also show position in: UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) projection; MGRS (Standard); MGRS (Standard + 10); Map Fix; Loran TD; British, Irish, Finnish, German, New Zealand, Swedish, Swiss, Taiwan, Greek and Military grids. UTM's are marked on USGS topographic charts. This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6 degrees wide in longitude. British, Irish, Finnish, German, New Zealand, Swedish, Swiss, Taiwan, and Greek grid systems are each the national coordinate system used only in their respective countries. In order to use these grid systems, you must be in the respective country. This unit will pick the matching datum for you when you select the grid. See the entry on Map Datum Selection for more information. The military grid reference system (MGRS) uses two grid lettering schemes, which are referred to as standard and standard + 10 MGRS on this unit. Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you use standard, and your position is off significantly, then try the alternate. NOTE: When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions are shown on all screens. This includes waypoints. To change the coordinate system, press ENT while COORDINATE SYSTEM is highlighted. Press or arrow keys to highlight the desired format. Press ENT to select it. Press EXIT to clear the menus. 77

To setup Loran TD: NOTE: If the Loran TD conversion is chosen, you must enter the local Loran chain identification for the master and slaves. Do this by selecting "Setup Loran TD" at the bottom of the "Coordinate System" menu, press ENT, and select the ID. Press EXIT to clear this menu.

Configure Loran TD menu.

Map Fix Map Fix is used with charts or maps. This system asks for a reference position in latitude/longitude, which you take from a marked location on the map. It then shows the present position as distance on the map from that reference point. For example, if it shows a distance of UP 4.00" and LEFT 0.50", you then measure up four inches and to the left a half-inch from the reference point to find your location on the map. Configure a map fix: First, take your map of the area and determine a reference latitude/longitude (Please note that in order for this system to work, the latitude/longitude lines must be parallel with the edge of the map. USGS maps are parallel, others may not be. Also, this works better with smaller scale maps.). The reference position can be anywhere on the map, but the closer it is to your location, the smaller the numbers will be that you'll have to deal with. Once you've decided on a reference position, you can save it as a waypoint. See the waypoint section for information on saving a waypoint. Save the reference position as a waypoint. Exit from the waypoint screens. 78
1. Press MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT. 2. Press to COORDINATE SYSTEM|ENT. 3. Press to SETUP MAP FIX|ENT. The following screen appears, and MAP SCALE is highlighted. Press ENT and enter the map's scale. This is generally at the bottom of a paper map. It's shown as a ratio, for example 1:24000. Press EXIT and the unit returns to the Configure Map Fix screen.
Configure a map fix so the GlobalMap can find your position on a printed chart or topographical map.
Press to SELECT ORIGIN WAYPOINT|ENT|ENT|ENT to bring up the waypoint list. Select the waypoint that you saved the reference point under and press ENT. The unit displays a waypoint information screen with the command SET AS ORIGIN selected. Press ENT and the unit returns to the Configure Map Fix menu. Finally, press EXIT to clear this menu. Now press to COORD SYSTEM|ENT, select MAP FIX from the list and press ENT|EXIT|EXIT|EXIT. All position information now shows as a distance from the reference point you chose.

Minimum or Maximum Tick controls how many tick marks will be displayed on the gauge. If you set the minimum tick to 1 and the max tick to 10, there will be 10 tick marks between 0 and 10, 10 and 20 and so on. In the case of a speedometer, that's one tick for one mile per hour. If you change the minimum tick to 2 and leave the maximum tick at 10, you'll have one tick for every two miles per hour. That's five ticks between 0 and 10, 10 and 20 and so on.

Your remedies under this warranty will be available so long as you can show in a reasonable manner that the defect occurred within one (1) year from the date of your original purchase, and we must receive your warranty claim no later than 30 days after such 1-year period expires. Your claim must be substantiated by a dated sales receipt or sales slip.

Shipping Information

If it becomes necessary to send a product for repair or replacement, you must first receive a return authorization number from Customer Service. Products shipped without a return authorization will not be accepted. When shipping, we recommend you do the following: 1. Please do not ship knobs or mounting brackets with gimbal units. 2. If your unit saves sonar logs or GPS data files to memory cards, make sure you have saved the data to a memory card and that the card has been removed from the unit, otherwise your data will be lost. 3. If you are sending a check for repair, please place your check in an envelope and tape it to the unit. 4. For proper testing, include a brief note with the product describing the problem. Be sure to include your name, return shipping address and a daytime telephone number. An e-mail address is optional but useful. 5. Pack the unit in a suitable size box with packing material to prevent any damage during shipping. 6. Write the Return Authorization (RA) number on the outside of the box underneath your return address. 7. For your security, you may want to insure the package through your shipping courier. Lowrance does not assume responsibility for goods lost or damaged in transit.
