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's many ad-
vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS
Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command
functions.
When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap's screen, you
can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, just
flipping through Section 3 or scanning through the command portion of
Section 4.
This unit is ready to use right out of the box, but you can fine tune and
customize its operation with dozens of options. We describe how to use
general system options along with GPS options in Section 5, System Setup
and GPS Setup Options.
In Section 6, we go into more detail on one of the GlobalMap's most re-
markable capabilities — Searching. We'll introduce a search example
in the Basic GPS Operation section, but there are so many map items
you can search for, we had to give this function its own section in the
manual! For example, did you know this unit can look up business
phone numbers, functioning as a virtual Yellow Pages? We’ll show you
how in Section 6.
Finally, in Section 7, we offer Supplemental Material, including a list of
the GPS datum used, warranties and customer service information.
Now, if you're into the fine details, glance over the next segment on speci-
fications to see just how much GPS power your GlobalMap contains. It's
important to us (and our power users), but, if you don't care how many
watts of power the unit has, or how many waypoints it can store, skip
ahead to important information on how our GPS works, on page 4.
