INTRODUCTION Welcome to the exciting world of GPS! Whether you’re a first-time user or a professional navigator, you’ll find the GlobalMap 100 is a full-featured GPS receiver at a price that was impossible just a few years ago. The ® Rockwell receiver built inside has 12 channels that will track all of the satellites that are in view of your location. It’s acquisition time and tracking ability are second to none in its class. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the United States

DGPS - What is it? If you want better performance, (and who doesn’t?) many manufacturers (including Lowrance) sell a DGPS receiver that attaches to your GPS receiver. The DGPS system transmits correction signals that increase the accuracy of your unit. The DGPS receiver takes signals from these land- based transmitters and gives them to the GPS receiver which then uses them to show a more accurate position. (You can use the signals from all of the Coast Guard DGPS stations for free, by the way.)

ones listed above. Do not mix different types of batteries. (For example, don’t use both alkaline and ni-cad batteries at the same time.) Battery Installation First turn the unit so that its back is fac- ing you. Push the two tabs to the left and remove the battery cover as shown at right. Install the batteries according to this diagram. (There’s a decal in the battery compartment showing the correct polar- ity, also.) Replace the battery compartment cover and the unit is ready for use. External

Menus Most of the unit’s features are found on “menus’. You can view the menus by pressing the MENU key. This product has “Intelligent Menus”. There are many menus that pertain to only the map, for example. When you press the MENU key and the plotter is showing, menu items for the plotter show in addition to the normal menus. For example, if the navigation screen is showing, and you press the MENU key, plotter menu items won’t show on the list. This helps you find the needed item without scrolli

error is only an estimate, it does give you an indicator of the fix quality the unit currently has. The smaller the expected error number, the better (and more accurate) the fix is. If the expected error is flashing, then the unit has not locked onto the satellites, and the number shown is not valid. The fix indicator on the left center shows either 2D or 3D. A 2D fix means the unit has locked onto three satellites and has calculated its position. A 3D fix means the unit has locked onto at least

Manual Initialization If you don’t want to wait for the Auto Search, then you may be able to speed up the initialization process by using the manual initialization fea- ture. Using this feature tells the unit it’s approximate position. Once it knows it’s location, it determines exactly which satellites should be in view and starts looking only for those satellites. To manually initialize the unit, press the MENU key. Now press the down arrow key until the “GPS SETUP” label is highlighted. Press

POSITION/NAVIGATION SCREENS This unit has four modes: status, map, navigation, and window groups. Use the PAGES and arrow keys to switch between the different screens. The four screens that show by default are shown below. STATUS NAVIGATION MAP WINDOWS To change modes, simply press the PAGES key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Use the up or down arrow keys to change modes. (The windows mode is shown as “groups”. Group “A” is the first win- dows group.) Press the right arrow key wh

Nav Screen #1 This screen has a compass rose that shows not only your direction of travel, but also the direction to a re- called waypoint. The navigation screen looks like the one at right when you’re not navigating to a waypoint. Your position is shown by an arrow in the center of the screen. Your trail history, or path you’ve taken is de- picted by the line extending from the arrow. The arrow pointing down at the top of the compass rose indicates the current track (direction of travel) you ar

Nav Screen #2 This navigation screen shows all navigation informa- tion in large digital numbers. To view this screen, press the PAGES key, then select the “NAV1” label. While it’s selected, press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Press the EXIT key to erase the menu. This screen is composed of eight digital boxes. Track (TRK) and ground speed (GS) data are all that show if you’re not navigating to a waypoint. If you are navigat- ing to a waypoint, then bearing (BRG), dista

Map The GlobalMap 100 has a ground map of the world built inside. This map has the majority of its detail in far southern Canada, the continental United States and Hawaiian islands, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. The map screens show your course and track from a “birds-eye” view. If you’re navigating to a waypoint, the map shows your starting location, present position, course line, and destination. You don’t have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the map. Using the map is a

Cursor Pressing an arrow key turns on two dotted lines that intersect at the present position symbol. These lines are called a “cursor” and have a variety of uses. To turn the cursor on, simply press the arrow key in the direction you want the cursor to move. This lets you view areas on the plotter that are away from your present position. The zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from the cursor’s position when it’s active - not the present position. You can zoom in on any detail, any- where. The curs

To correct this problem, a track-up mode rotates the map as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen should always be to your left, and so on. A course-up mode keeps the map at the same orientation as the initial bearing to the waypoint. In the north-up view shown below left, we're travelling southeast towards camp, saved as waypoint number 14. In this view, the present position indicator appears to move towards the lower right corner of the screen. NORTH-UP TRACK-UP COURSE-UP

AUTOZOOM This receiver has an autozoom feature that eliminates much of the button pushing that competitive units force you to make. It works in conjunction with the navigation features. First, recall a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the autozoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from the present position to the destination waypoint (recalled waypoint). As you travel towards the destination, the unit autom

Range Rings/Grid Lines The map screen can be customized with rings that are 1/4 of the range and/or grids that divide the plotter into equal segments of latitude and longitude. To do this, press the MENU key, select “Map 1 Setup”, then “Map Options”. Highlight the desired option, then press the right arrow key to turn it on. Press the EXIT key repeatedly to erase the menus. A sample screen of each type shows below. RANGE RINGS GRID BOTH RINGS & GRID EARTH MAP OPTIONS The earth map consists of th
