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 take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a way- point, but will also visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the waypoin

Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar and GPS! We know you're anxious to begin navigating and finding fish, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the unit and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best performance from your compact, wide-screen, combination fish finder and mapping GPS receiver. First, we want to thank you for buying a Lowrance s

After you've gained some experience with your sonar, you'll want to check out Section 4, which discusses more advanced Sonar Options and Other Features. When you come to a sonar menu command on the LMS-320 screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, just flip- ping through Section 3 or scanning through the sonar options in Section 4. If you're having difficulty with your sonar, you can find an answer to the most common problems in Section 5, Sonar Troubleshoo

Now, if you're into the fine details, glance over the next segment on specifications to see just how much sonar and GPS power your unit con- tains. 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 LMS-320 can store, skip ahead to important information on how LMS-320 sonar works, on page 5. (Background on GPS begins on page 6.) Capabilities and Specifications: LMS-320 and LMS-320DF General Display:......................

Sonar sounding depth capability: ........... LMS-320DF: 2,500 feet/762 meters. LMS-320: 1,000 feet/305 meters. (Actual capability depends on transducer configuration and installation, bottom com- position and water conditions. All sonar units typically read deeper in fresh water than in salt water.) Depth display:................ Continuous display. Graph recording:........... Up to 256 MB on one MMC (or SD) card Audible alarms: ............. Deep/shallow/fish/zone. Automatic ranging:....... Yes

Your LMS-320 can record a log of the sonar signals that scroll across the screen and save them to the MMC memory card. (These recordings are also called sonar charts or sonar graphs.) You can replay this sonar log in the unit using the Sonar Simulator function, or play it back on a personal computer using our free Sonar Viewer. The viewer is available for download from the Lowrance web site, www.lowrance.com. You can save several different sonar log files, erase 'em and record new ones, over and

searching for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map. There is so much detail in our background map (and even more in MapCreate) that we'll describe their contents and differ- ences in Section 6, Basic GPS Operations, on page 95. Another portion of LMS-320's onboard memory is devoted to recording GPS navigation information, which includes waypoints, event marker icons, trails and routes. This lets you look back the way you came. Think of this data storage like the h

LMS-320 automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SDC. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC containing a map into the unit. Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how LMS-320 does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page 13, so you can mount your unit 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, m

A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. 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 their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencies. Thes

First, the U.S. government has not completed construction of the WAAS system, so it is not yet fully operational. The ground stations are in place, but only a few of the needed WAAS satellites have been launched. WAAS can boost the accuracy of land GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft. The satellites are in a fixed orbit around the Equator, so they appear very low in the sky to someone on the ground in North America. Aircraft and vessels on open water can get consis- tently go
