1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital GPS! We know you're anxious to begin navigating, but we have a favor to ask.
2 After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of your unit’s many advanced navigation features.
3 Case size: ......................... 5.4" H x 6.9" W x 3.4" D (13.8 x 17.6 x 8.6 cm); sealed and waterproof; suitable for salt- water use. MMC slots: ....................... One waterproof door (SD card compatible). Recording: .......
4 NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the GlobalMap's on-board memory. The amount of GPS data yo u can record and save for recall later is limited only by the number of MMC cards you have.
5 marker icons, trails and routes. This lets you look back the way you came. 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.
6 But, if you want to understand the current state of satellite navigation, look over this segment describi ng how GPS and its new companion WAAS work together to ge t you where you're going. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched July 17, 1995 by the United States Department of Defense.
7 Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satel- lites to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information.
8 Free Training Aids Available Now that you know something about the technology that makes this unit possible, you are ready to start learning how to use that technol- ogy. This manual will guide you through the process of setting up and running your unit, but that is only one of many resources available.
9 Menu Commands A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type like this: R OUTE P LANNING . These indicate that you are to select this command or option from a menu or take an action of some kind with the menu item.
10 Notes.
11 Section 2: Installation 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.
12 The Power/Data cable for this unit. 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. Depending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires.
13 interference, or if such a switch is not available, we recommend connecting direct to the battery and installing an in-line switch. This will let you shut off power to the power cable when the unit is not in use.
14 Power Diagram A Use this method if you are powering the display unit and a GPS mod- ule or the display unit and a NMEA 2000 network. (Fuses may be dif- ferent from those shown.). The network and any NMEA 2000 devices, including the GPS module, will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is connected to power.
15 Power Diagram B Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device, including a GPS module.
16 WARNING: The NMEA 2000 network bus is always on and constantly drawing power. You must connect NMEA power to a switched power source so you can tu rn off the network when not in use. Failure to connect to and use a power switch will drain your boat battery, which could stop your boat's operation.
17 If dashboard reception is poor, simply relocate the antenna module else- where on the vehicle for a clearer view of the sky. Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network A network bus is an installed and operational network cable (backbone) running the length of your boat, al ready connected to a power supply and properly terminated.
18 The diagram has a double T connect or with two 120-ohm terminators — one at each end of the connector. It is easy to expand this network by re- moving a terminator from one end of the double T co.

20 Mounting the Unit: Bracket or Portable You can install the GlobalMap 540c on the top of a dash with the sup- plied gimbal bracket. It can also be mounted on a portable power supply. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-A-M ® bracket mounting system.
21 Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope to- ward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power cable.
22 to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the Gl oba lM ap 540c. I f y ou ch oos e to f ill in the hole, be sure to position the cables against the rear edge of the hole as you apply the fill material. Before positioning the bracket, be sure to hold the cables against the rear edge of the hole.
23 NOTE: Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just re- member that your unit can use an MMC or SD card to store data. Both of these solid-state flash memo ry devices are about the size of a postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC.
24 Other Accessories Cleaning Towel A lint-free microfiber towel is includ ed for cleaning the unit’s screen. The towel is highly effective in clea ring away water spots, smudges and finger prints. Just wipe the screen with the dry towel — it's not neces- sary to moisten the towel with water.
25 WARNING: When the unit is mounted in an unprotected area, such as an open boat cockpit, the protective face cover must be removed when the vehicle is moving at high speed. This includes towing a boat on a trailer at highway speeds. Otherwise, wind blast can pop off the cover.
