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-
vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS
Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command
functions, organized in alphabetical order.
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 cus-
tomize 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. Section 5 is organized in alphabetical order.
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 man-
ual! 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 datums used, warranties and customer service information.
NOTICE!
The storage and operation temperature range for your GlobalMap
is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75
degrees Celsius). Extended storage or operation in temperatures
higher or lower than specified will damage the liquid crystal display
in your unit. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

partment; phone numbers are listed on the last page.
How Lowrance GPS Works
You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap
scans the sky to tell you where you are on the earth — and, where
you're going. (But if you already have a working understanding of GPS
receivers and the GPS navigation system, skip on ahead to Section 2,
Installation & Accessories on page 9. If you're new to GPS, read on, and
