Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you flying, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS! We know you're anxious to take off and begin navigating, but we have a favor to ask. Before you head for the plane, please give us a moment or two to show you how to skip around our manual for the information you need. (Tips start on page 2.
Whether your AirMap 2000 is the only GPS in the cockpit or backing up an in-panel display, you're using the most versatile and most affordable color-screen GPS receiver in the aviation market today. Our goal for this book is to get you in the air (or out on the road) fast, with a minimum of fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time flying, and less time reading the manual! So, we designed our book so that you don't have to read the whole thing from front to back for the information you want.
to try out some of AirMap's many advanced features. That brings us to Section Four, Land Mode Operation. After we introduce the Land Mode menus and submenus, the rest of the section contains AirMap's more advanced command functions. Your AirMap is ready to use right out of the box, but you can fine tune and customize its operation with dozens of options. We describe how to use them in Section 5, System Setup and GPS Setup Options. This section covers both Aviation Mode and Land Mode options.

The background map is also suitable for many land and marine navigation chores, but for maximum surface accuracy and much more detail, you need a custom map from MapCreate 6. Some AirMap features — such as 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 compare their contents and differences in Section 3, Aviation Mode Operation.
Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how AirMap does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page 11, so you can install 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 9.
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.
WAAS signals make your GPS navigation even more accurate. Your AirMap automatically receives both GPS and WAAS signals. However, WAAS has some limits you should know about. 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 and marine GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft.
Keyboard The other keys perform a variety of functions. When the text refers to a key to press, the key is shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, the "Enter/Save" key is shown as ENT and the "Menu" key is shown as MENU. Menu Commands A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type like this: SYSTEM SETUP. 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.
Section 2: Installation & Accessories Power For your safety, we have designed the AirMap to work with several power sources, so you can ensure continuous operation by providing multiple emergency backups. The AirMap operates on 6 volts DC using an external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. In case your plane has no cigarette lighter, we also sell an optional rechargeable gel cell battery with connectors.
Rechargeable alkaline batteries will not last as long as standard alkaline batteries. NiMH batteries are rechargeable and should also give you suitable battery life. Do not mix different battery types. Mixing battery types may cause leakage. (For example, don’t use both alkaline and NiMH batteries at the same time, and don't use standard alkalines with rechargeable alkalines.) Battery Installation Turn the unit over so that the back is facing you and loosen the thumbscrew at the bottom of the battery case.
Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter To use external DC power: Plug the power cable's cigarette lighter adapter into a cigarette lighter receptacle. Next, firmly press the cable's connector into the socket on the back of the AirMap's case. Attach external power cable to AirMap. MMC or SD Memory Card Installation Your AirMap uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as custom maps, waypoints and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD cards) to store information.
Drag the MMC from its slot by pressing against its label. 2. Hold unit facedown in left hand. With your right hand, press a finger against the label of the MMC and drag it from the slot. To add an MMC or SD Card 1. Remove battery compartment cover. 2. Hold the unit in one hand. Grasp the bottom edge of the MMC with your other hand. The MMC label should be toward you. 3. Fit the top (notched) edge of the MMC into the MMC slot. 4. With your finger on the card's label, gently push the card into the slot.
You may achieve good results by simply placing the external RAA-4 antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. Many pilots like to attach the antenna to the top of their instrument panel glare shields. Depending on the surface, a strip of adhesive Velcro or a piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material available in recreational vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in place. Attach AirMap antenna to windshield bracket with two screws.
Wherever you mount the antenna, make sure it is in a location with an unobstructed view of the sky. If you're sticking it to a window, moisten the suction cups on the mounting plate and press firmly against the window. Route the cable so that it won't interfere with flying. Then, simply plug the connector into the unit's antenna socket, located on the back, in the upper left corner of the case. The AirMap will automatically switch to use the RAA-4 remote antenna when plugged in.
Fit the ball mount into the mounting bracket's arm, and tighten the arm knob to hold the unit in place (shown left). At right, you can see an AirMap 2000 securely mounted above a yoke. Protective Bag Your AirMap comes with a cloth bag designed to protect the unit from minor scratches and dings when it's tucked into your flight bag or luggage. It's shown in the following image. The bag is large enough to accommodate the unit with the ball mount plate attached.
Protective Cover This hard cover simply snaps on and off the front of the unit. If you store your unit in an aircraft or other vehicle, the cover protects the screen from damage that can result from long-term exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. If you carry the unit with you in a flight bag or luggage, the cover protects against screen scratches. It also stops battery drain by preventing the Power button from being bumped and accidentally turning on the unit.
Section 3: Aviation Operation This section addresses AirMap's main aviation GPS functions. The principles are the same in both operating modes, so this discussion also serves as a good introduction to Land Mode work. Before you turn on the AirMap and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the three Page screens and how they all work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, grab the batteries and turn to the one-page Quick Reference on page 39.
7. FIND (Direct To) – The Find key launches the AirMap search menus. It also allows you to go Direct To items shown in search lists. 8. ZOUT – (Zoom Out) – This key lets you zoom the screen out to see a larger geographic area on the map. Less detail is seen as you zoom out. 9. ZIN – (Zoom In) – This key lets you zoom the screen in to see greater detail in a smaller geographic area on the map. Power/lights on and off To turn on the unit, press PWR. To turn on the backlight, press PWR again.
Main Menu, Aviation Mode. The Main Menu commands and their functions are: Screen command: changes the contrast or brightness of the display screen. Sounds command: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style. Alarms command: turns arrival, off course and anchor GPS alarms on or off and changes alarm thresholds. Aviation Alarms command: turns distance, time, near and inside airspace alarms on or off and changes alarm thresholds.
Sun/Moon Calculations command: finds the rising and setting times of the sun and moon for any location on any day from the year 2000 to 2064. This also shows the moon phase. Trip Calculator command: shows trip status and statistics, such as trip time, distance and average speed. Timers command: controls settings and alarms for an up timer, a down timer and an alarm clock. Browse MMC Files command: this allows you to view the installed MMC card and the files it contains.
This series of figures shows the Pages Menu for all three main screens and their various display options. Each of the three main Pages also has a submenu screen associated with it. You access a Page Submenu by pressing the MENU key one time while the page is displayed. (Pressing the MENU key twice takes you to the Main Menu.) Several pages share similar display features. For example, the Navigation Page and the Map Page's Map Panel option both have a VSI or Vertical Speed Indicator.
No matter what page you are on, a flashing current position indicator/question mark symbol and flashing GPS data displays indicate that satellite lock has been lost and there is no position confirmed. This page shows you the quality and accuracy of the current satellite lock-on and position calculation. WARNING: Do not begin navigating with this unit until the numbers have stopped flashing! Satellite Page.
Beneath the circular graph are the bar graphs, one for each satellite in view. Since the unit has twelve channels, it can dedicate one channel per visible satellite. The taller the bar on the graph, the better the unit is receiving the signals from the satellite. The Position Error box (sometimes called EPE for "Estimated Position Error") is shown in the bottom left corner of the screen. This is the expected error from a benchmark location.
Navigation Page. The Navigation Page combines several instruments and situational awareness tools that offer the look of a "glass cockpit" panel display. The instruments surrounding the central compass rose are discussed when we describe the Map Page's Map Panel option on page 35. Now, we want to talk about the heart of this display – the compass rose – and its Horizontal Situation Indicator.
Track or compass heading indicator, showing direction of travel Ground speed window Navigation information displays in Data Boxes Compass rose Vertical Speed Indicator Present position of aircraft GPS altimeter Moving map display Navigation Page, traveling north. Page looks like this when AirMap is not navigating to a waypoint, following a route, or backtracking a trail. When navigating to a waypoint or following a route, the HSI screen looks like the one shown in the next image.
Track or compass heading indicator, showing direction of travel Destination name White bearing arrow (pointing to destination) Course arrow Course Deviation Indicator needle (CDI) Cross track error range Navigation Page, flying TO KTUL on a course of 343º. The pilot needs to turn left to "center the needle" and get on course. The plane is currently 2.1 nautical miles to the right of the course. The cross track error range is set at 4.00 nautical miles.
TO arrow Fig. 1 Course arrow Fig. 2 CDI needle Fig. 3 Following a course by "chasing the needle." Fig. 1, plane has veered off course to the right by a little over 2 nautical miles, away from the needle. Fig. 2, pilot turns on heading of 332º, steering left toward CDI needle to intersect intended course. Fig. 3, pilot has intercepted his route and is virtually on course. The most important graphic element, however, is the CDI needle.
NOTE: You must be navigating to some destination to begin using OBS Hold. Usually this will be a VOR, or some other Aviation Waypoint in the Jeppesen database. See the entry Searching later in this section if you need help finding and setting up navigation to a waypoint. In the example below, Air Traffic Control contacts a pilot flying north across Oklahoma and warns him of a dangerous storm ahead. To avoid it, they instruct him to fly outbound on a radial of 320° from the nearby VOR "FZT.
Use the Clear OBS Hold command to resume navigation. The HSI display will point to your original destination again. You can turn off OBS Hold at any time using the Navigation Page menu. 1. Press MENU|↓ to CLEAR OBS HOLD|ENT. 2. A window will pop up asking you if you want to cancel OBS Hold. Press ←|ENT. Press EXIT to clear the menu. The navigation data will once again direct you to your destination, or the next waypoint in the route you're navigating.
Map Page Menu. Map Page Menu To get to Map Page Menu: press MENU while displaying a map page. The map menu has many options. It allows you to get information on the airspace you're in with the Airspace Status command. You can also find distances, change the orientation of your map, view map data, and other helpful map functions. Read more about these functions in Sec. 5, System Setup and GPS Setup Options. Tip: We've incorporated some type of map display in several different pages.
Far left, Map Page opening screen, Full Map display option. Center, zoomed to 150 nautical miles and right, zoomed to 30 nautical miles. (Note that the five data boxes or text boxes appearing in the bottom of these images are on by default. They can be individually turned off or you can customize the display to show a different type of information in each box.) The Zoom In and Zoom Out keys zoom the map to enlarge or reduce its coverage area and the amount of mapping detail shown.
Map Pages with high-detail map of an urban area loaded on the MMC, with the Earth Map Detail option set to Medium, the default. At left, arterial streets appear at the 5 nautical mile zoom range. Center, at 1.5 nautical miles, minor streets appear, along with square dots representing Points of Interest. Right, at the 0.4 nautical mile zoom, you can see major and minor streets as well as Point of Interest icons for a hotel and a grocery store. Background map vs.
Major Street Cursor line Interstate Minor Street Restaurant POI POI Markers POI Pop-up Data boxes display navigation information Position, distance and bearing data Zoom Range When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square dots. As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the 0.4 nautical mile zoom example at right, the cursor has selected the Denny's restaurant POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up box works on POIs at any zoom range.
Tick marks for 1000 fpm climb Data Boxes Tick marks for 100 feet per minute Ground Speed VSI display Altitude Compass overlay with CDI Tick marks for 1000 fpm descent Map Page: Map Panel display option. The compass overlay at the bottom of the screen includes a bearing arrow that points toward your destination, along with a CDI or Course Deviation Indicator. The CDI shows when you are off course. Steering toward the CDI needle will bring you back on course. The CDI only appears when navigating.
Additional information can be displayed using compass overlay data that appears at the top of the page. This information can be customized with the Compass Overlay Data command, which is discussed in Sec. 5, System Setup and GPS Setup Options. You can select from 28 different types of information to display. Two Maps page display option This option provides a split map, showing your current position in the top map, and an auto zoomed view of the destination airport in the bottom map.
Tip: Don't like the window sizes or orientation we selected? Well, pick your own! You can re-size the two map windows and even switch to vertical windows. Here's how to use the Resize Window command: 1. From the Two Maps page, press MENU|↓ to RESIZE WINDOW|ENT. 2. The window adjustment arrow appears. Use the arrow keys to adjust the window size. To switch to horizontal, press the ↑ or ↓ keys. To switch back to vertical, press the → or ← keys. When you are finished, press EXIT to clear the adjustment arrow.
Aviation GPS Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of open sky. Imagine you're flying to a nearby airport to practice landings. (If you're practicing on foot or by car, substitute a restaurant for an airport. Pick one a few blocks away. While learning, navigation in too small an area constantly triggers alarms. 1. Insert the MMC and batteries. Mount AirMap on the yoke. Connect to electric power and the active antenna. (See install details on page 11.) 2.
Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning AirMap on. Under clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. NOTE: "Clear sky" means open sky, unobstructed by terrain, dense foliage or structures. Clouds do not restrict GPS signal reception. If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception.
Cursor line Selected airport Cursor line Distance measured by cursor The selected airport to the northwest is 3.64 nautical miles away. Tip: Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position (or last known position, when working indoors) to any map object or location. Simply use the arrow keys to position the cursor over the object or place. The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the data box at the bottom of the map. Press EXIT to clear the cursor.
Searching Now that you've seen how AirMap can find where you are, let's search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most powerful features in the Lowrance GPS product line. In this example, we'll look for the nearest VOR. For more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Searching. NOTE: This example requires the Jeppesen database included with your AirMap. After AirMap has acquired a position: 1. Press FIND|↓ to FIND VORS|ENT. 2.
Waypoint information screen on VOR nearest this position. Screen shows name, identifier, city, radio frequency, latitude/longitude and its compass bearing. It also shows both distance to the VOR and your "Radial From" – information ready at your fingertips when Air Traffic Control wants a position report! The figure at left shows Go To command; right figure shows Find On Map command. 6. AirMap's map appears, with the cross-hair cursor highlighting the VOR's symbol. A pop-up name box identifies the VOR.
NOTE: Search works from high detail mapping data loaded in AirMap. Aviation Navigation searches use information from a Jeppesen database, and general navigation searches use POI information available with a MapCreate custom map. If you do not have a high-detailed Jeppesen map (or a custom map containing POI data) for the area you are searching loaded on the MMC, you may not find anything. Find Nearest Airport (shortcut) One of flying's most terrifying events is having to make an emergency landing.
Setting a Waypoint A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and longitude of a position on the earth. Both the Aviation and the Land mode allow you to save waypoints to mark specific locations you'd like to return to (or maybe send a friend to, or even specifically avoid). To save a waypoint, move the cursor to the desired location, then: 1. Press and release ENT. 2. The CREATE WAYPOINT menu appears, with the QUICK SAVE method selected.
Navigate to Cursor Position on Map The Go To Cursor command navigates to the current cursor position on the map. To navigate to a particular location on the map, first find the location, then select the location with the cursor. Use the Go To Cursor command to lead you there: 1. Use the cursor (controlled by the arrow keys) with the zoom in and zoom out keys to maneuver around the map until you find a location you want to go to. 2. Center the cursor over the location to select it.
The 15-nautical mile zoom figure at left clearly shows the red course line connecting your current position to your destination. The 30-nautical mile zoom, center, shows both current position and destination on screen. The Navigation Page, right, will also show navigation information. To stop navigating to the cursor, use the Cancel Navigation command: press MENU|MENU|↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION|ENT|← to YES|ENT. AirMap stops showing navigation information.
You can also use Direct To when navigating a route, to force AirMap to navigate toward a particular waypoint in the route. To do this (from the Map Page), press MENU|MENU|↓ to ROUTE PLANNING|ENT|↓ to route name|ENT. Now press ↓ to select the waypoint you want from the list, and then hit . The AirMap will automatically begin navigating to the selected waypoint, and on arrival will continue navigating the route from there.
In the AirMap, airports have information screens packed with useful information. They include much of the same information as a VOR information screen. In addition, airport information screens contain a line drawing showing the general layout of the airport's runways. Also, note that the radio frequencies listed at the bottom make a much longer list. You can press ↓ at the information screen to scroll down and see all of these frequencies.
At the runways screen you can press ← or → to cycle through the airport's runways. In the previous image, you can see we've selected 18L, so all of the information shown refers to that particular runway. The previous images show not only the information available on this screen, but also the Runway Extension feature. To turn on a runway extension, use ← or → to select the desired runway, then make sure the box at the bottom of the screen says "Extend" next to the runway name.
want to setup Runway Guidance?" (See the previous image.) If you want the AirMap to navigate a localizer-type approach, select YES and press ENT. (Select NO if you want to continue your own navigation with a regular runway extension.) When you select Runway Guidance, the unit will display a localizertype fan and create a route automatically for guidance down the runway's extended centerline.
Airport Services screen for KTUL (Tulsa International). Transfer Custom Maps and GPS Data Files Custom maps work only from the MMC card or SDC card. When a card containing a Custom Map File is loaded into the unit, AirMap automatically loads the map into memory when the unit is turned on. Instructions for copying Custom Map Files to an MMC are contained in the instruction manual for your MMC card reader and MapCreate 6 software. For instructions on inserting an MMC into AirMap, see Sec.
To transfer data from AirMap to the MMC: press ENT (for SAVE.) To transfer data from the MMC to AirMap: press → to LOAD|ENT. 3. Saving: A file name box appears. To accept the default name "Data" for the GPS Data File, press ↓ to SAVE DATA|ENT. If you wish to rename the file (as in the following example), press ENT to activate the selection box. Press ↑ or ↓ to change the first character, then press → to the next character and repeat until the name is correct. Then, press ENT|↓ to SAVE|ENT.

during the trip, such as the time to your destination. The other requires only three key strokes and provides a full range of navigation data. Try both methods and see which you prefer. When hiking at walking speed, we often just use visual back trailing because it is better at following each little turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, whether cruising at 120 kts or zipping down the highway, the Navigate Trail command is handy. Visual Back Trailing 1.
5. To follow the trail, press ENT. The unit begins showing navigation data along the trail. Follow the steering arrow on the Map Page or the compass bearing arrow on the Navigation Page. NOTE: If you are at or near the start of the trail, the arrival alarm will go off as soon as navigation begins because of your proximity to the trail's first point. Just press EXIT to clear the alarm. 6. Upon arrival at your destination, cancel navigation: press MENU|MENU|↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION|ENT|← to YES|ENT.
Routes Created in AirMap If you plan on flying the route – or if you just want to make it quickly without using a computer – you can create a route in the unit. You do this by selecting existing waypoints from your waypoint list or the Aviation Waypoints, or by making new route waypoints on the map with cursor arrows and the Enter key. Route Planning on Main Menu is shown left. Center, New Route command on the Routes Menu. Right, Edit Route Menu with no waypoints in the waypoint list.
Keep adding waypoints in this way until you have plotted your whole route. Of course, you don't have to use just one method. You could add a handful of Aviation Waypoints but in between place some waypoints from the map, if you want to detour over a particular landmark. Or even include personal waypoints in your route, if you'd like to fly over a friend's house. Since you add one waypoint at a time, you can choose the best way to enter each one.
