v 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. T...

1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS satellite navigation! We know you're anxious to begin finding your way with this space-age technol-ogy, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the GlobalMap ® and begin installing...

3 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, I...

4 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 com- puter file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared be- tween L...

5 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, l...

6 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. These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an automobile roof, even your body. Like most GPS receivers, this unit doe...

7 How to use this manual: typographical conventions Many instructions are listed as numbered steps. The keypad and arrow "keystrokes" appear as boldface type. So, if you're in a real hurry (or just need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out what menu command to use by findi...

9 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill-ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1. Determine th...

10 You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un- obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the unit. The LGC-3000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly (using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000 ® network. NOTE:...

11 NOTE: There are two basic power connection options, which are shown in the following two diagrams. Read the following instructions carefully to determine which power connection applies to your unit. De- pending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires. Caution: All of the wires i...

12 this unit could be damaged to a point that it is irreparable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused. Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty. If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires. This will provide the best...

13 The network and any NMEA 2000 devices, including the GPS module, will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is connected to power. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to power even if your only NMEA 2000 device is the GPS module and it is connected to the display unit's Network soc...

14 use the method shown in Power Diagram B above. Never attach two power sources to a single NMEA 2000 bus. If you do need to power your NMEA 2000 bus, attach the NMEA 2000 Power cable to an accessory switch as indicated in power diagram A. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached (wi...

20 Expanding to a NMEA 2000 Network A network bus is an installed and operational network cable (backbone) running the length of your boat, already connected to a power supply and properly terminated. Such a bus provides network connection nodes at various locations around your boat. The NMEA 2000 n...

21 NOTE: If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not at- tached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from corro- sion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has "Cap" stamped into the connector hou...

22 NOTE: You do not need a Bus Adapter Cable with this unit if you use an approved Devicenet NMEA 2000 connector. Approved Devicenet NMEA 2000 connectors work with Lowrance red connector dis-play units and components, so no adapter cables are needed. Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable Y...

23 Install the gimbal bracket. Place the bracket so the arms slope toward the front of your unit. Once a location is determined, use the bracket as a template and mark the mounting holes and the hole for the cables. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power, transducer and antenna cabl...

25 To pass all connectors through the 1" hole, first pass the antenna con-nector up through the hole from under the dash. Next, pass the power cable's bare-wire end down though the hole from the top. If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good ma- rine caulking compound. ...

26 easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational vehicle, air- plane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a second bracket. You can use your unit in your own car or boat, then take it along when riding in a friend's vehicle that's not equipped with GPS. The portable power p...
