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.
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. Before you grab the GlobalMap® 5200c 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, mapping GPS receiver. First, we want to thank you for buying a Lowrance GPS unit.
After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS experience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command functions. When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap's screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, just flipping through Section 3 or scanning through the command portion of Section 4.
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 saltwater use. MMC slots: .......................One with waterproof door (SD card compatible). Recording: ........................ MMC & SD memory cards for recording GPS trip details and displaying charts or custom maps. Back-up memory:...........Built-in memory stores GPS data for decades. User settings are stored when unit is turned off. Languages: ......................
Plot Trails:.......................10 savable; up to 9,999 points per trail. Zoom range: ....................39 ranges; 0.02 to 4,000 miles. NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the GlobalMap® 5200c's on-board memory. The amount of GPS data you can record and save for recall later is limited only by the number of MMC cards you have. NOTICE! The storage temperature range for your GlobalMap® 5200c is from -20 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-28 degrees to +75 degrees Celsius).
We lock it in here at the factory — you can't change or erase this map. The background map is suitable for many navigation chores, but for maximum accuracy and much more detail, you need our optional mapmaking software, MapCreate. Some unit features — such as searching for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map.
These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared between Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units and personal computers. This unit 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 GlobalMap. Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how the unit does its work.
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.
Non aviators can use WAAS signals to make their GPS navigation even more accurate. Your unit 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 GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft.
Menu Commands A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type like this: ROUTE PLANNING. 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. Text that you may need to enter or file names you need to select are show in italic type, such as trail name.
Notes 10
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 drilling any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1. Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the antenna and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the desired configuration. 2.
You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the end of the extension cable. To connect it to the unit, insert the cable's plug into the Network socket on the back of the unit or a double T connector attached to the unit. See the module's instruction sheet. In an automobile, you may achieve good results by placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield.
Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for easier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends – either by capping them with wire nuts, wrapping them with electrical tape or both. (You should cut off the bare wire before taping off the ends.) Powering Your Display Unit The display unit works from a 12-volt DC battery system.
If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from electrical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The display power cable has three wires, white, red and black. Red is the positive (+) lead, black is negative (–) or ground. The white wire is unused by your unit and should be capped. Make sure to attach the inline fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible.
(However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network. If you have a network that is already powered, see diagram B.) Power Diagram B To unit Display Unit Power Cable All unused Data or NMEA 2000 power wires should be capped with wire nuts and electrical tape to prevent shorts.
The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached (with provided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+) terminal. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's black and shield wires should both be attached to the negative (–) terminal. 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 turn off the network when not in use.
The diagram above has a double T connector with two 120-ohm (one male and one female) terminators — one at each end of the connector. It is easy to expand this network by removing a terminator from one end of the double T connector, then inserting a new T connector or extension cable between the double T connector and terminator. Remember: The simplest NMEA 2000 network is a display unit with the LGC3000, one double-T connector and two 120 ohm terminators.

Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the GlobalMap on the top of a dash with the supplied gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or 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. This converts the unit's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount, which can be used on the dash or overhead mounting positions. Installation instructions are supplied with the R-A-M mounting kits.
Front Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope toward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and antenna cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat installation.
though the hole from the top. If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good marine caulking compound. Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to conceal the opening. No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the GlobalMap. If you choose to fill in the hole, be sure to position the cables against the rear edge of the hole as you apply the fill material.
Portable Installation Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power pack and the magnet-equipped antenna module expand the uses for your GPS unit. The portable power pack makes it easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a second bracket.
To remove an MMC 1. Open the card compartment door by unscrewing the thumb screw. The screw should only be finger tight. If it was over-tightened, use a thumbnail, a coin or a screwdriver to open the door. 2. Just press a finger against the label of the MMC and drag it from the slot. 3. Drag the MMC from the slot. To add an MMC or SD Card 1. Open the card compartment door. 2. Grasp the bottom of the MMC and push the top of the card into the slot.
Face Cover Your unit comes with a white protective cover that snaps on and off the front of the unit. This cover is intended for use when your unit and the vehicle it's mounted in are idle. 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.
Section 3: Basic GPS Operations This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tutorials presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Advanced GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utilities. Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the four Page screens and how they all work together. If you just can't wait to get outside, turn to the one-page Quick Reference on page 39.
and Radar. Each page represents one of the unit's major operation modes. 3. MENU – Press this key to show the menus and submenus, which allow you to select a command or adjust a feature. This also accesses search functions for streets, intersections, addresses and highway exits. 4. ARROW KEYS – These keys are used to navigate through the menus, make menu selections, move the map cursor and enter data. 5. ENT/ICONS (Enter & Icons) – This key allows you to save data, accept values or execute menu commands.
Main Menu. 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. Transparency command: adjust the level of transparency for menus. Alarms command: turns GPS alarms on or off and changes alarm thresholds. Route Planning command: used to plan, view or navigate a route. My Trails command: shows, hides, creates and deletes plot trails.
Browse Files command: this allows you to view the installed MMC card and the files it contains. Pages The unit has four Pages that represent the major operating modes. They are the Status, Navigation, Map and Radar Page. They are accessed by pressing the PAGES key, then using → or ← to select a Page. Clear the Pages Menu by pressing EXIT. Pages Menu. (Satellite) Status Page The Satellite Status Page provides detailed information on the status of the unit's satellite lock-on and position acquisition.
Satellites Status Page, at left. Custom Gauges feature, right. This screen shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead. The small inner ring represents 45° above the horizon and the large ring represents the horizon. North is at the top of the screen.
Highlight PRESS ENT TO ADD… and press ENT in the Overlay Data Shown menu (far left) to open the Data Viewer menu (center) with five expandable data categories: GPS Data, Navigation, Trip Calculator, Time and Sensor Data. The right figure shows the subcategory list under the GPS Data category. 4. Highlight the desired data category and press ENT, which will expand the list, revealing several subcategories with checkboxes next to them. 5.
NOTE: One of the data display options for the Satellite Status page is "Position Error" (horizontal position error), which can appear in one of the page's data boxes. When Position Error is on, it will show you the expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the Position Error box shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. This gives you an indicator of the quality of the satellite fix the unit has.
When navigating to a waypoint your ground speed, track, distance and bearing to waypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen. NOTE: Remember, when the Speed, Track and Position information displays are flashing, satellite lock has not been achieved and no position fix has been determined. A question mark will also flash on the present position arrow in the center of the compass rose. Speed (ground speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground.
Left cross track error line Course line Heading arrow Current track or heading, shown in degrees Bearing arrow Waypoint symbol Compass bearing to destination Cross track error range (off course indicator) Trail line Navigation information displays in data boxes Destination name Navigation Page, going to a waypoint while creating a new trail. The cross track error range is shown on the compass rose as a wide, white, corridor enclosing the course line.
The Navigation Page has its own menu, which is used for some advanced functions and for setting various options. Options and setup are discussed in Sec. 5. To access the Navigation Page Menu, from the Navigation Page, press MENU. Map Page The Map Page screens show your course and track from a "bird's-eye" view. By default, this unit shows the map with north always at the top of the screen. This can be changed. See the topic Map Orientation, in Sec. 5.
If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles. You can continue to zoom in closer, but the map will be enlarged without revealing more map content (except for a few major city streets.) Load your own high-detail custom map made with MapCreate (or a pre-made FreedomMap from LEI), and you can zoom in to 0.02 miles with massive amounts of accurate map detail.
What's more important is the large scale map detail that allows your GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the background map would show you the general outline and approximate shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher detail in MapCreate shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail). Many smaller islands would not be included in the background map, but are, of course, in MapCreate.
The Map Page has its own menu, which is used for several functions and for setting various options. To access the Map Page Menu, from the Map Page, press MENU. The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map Page category. To access them, press PAGES while the unit is on the Map Page. The two different menus are shown in the following figures. The Map Page Menu is shown at left. The Pages Menu is shown at right.
Pages Menu with Two Maps option selected, at left. The Resize Window feature was used to make the maps vertical. Map Page with two horizontal map windows, at right. The bottom map is the active map. Resize Window is a useful feature for pages that have two major windows. You can change the relative size of the windows, as well as horizontal or vertical layout to suit your viewing preference. Here's how: Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 From left to right, after selecting the Resize Window command: Fig. 1.
You can only change size, not switch layout, on the Map With Custom Gauges - it's always two vertical windows. Press EXIT to clear the four flashing arrows. 3. To change the window size again or revert back to the original display, just follow the steps above. Most dual-window displays use half the screen for each window by default. You can also use the Reset Options command to revert to the factory default. The following is a 12step quick reference for the most basic GPS operations.
Scroll map north, south, east or west using arrow keys ↑ ↓ → ← . To stop scrolling and return to current position on map, press EXIT key. 6. Set a waypoint (Wpt 001) at your current position so you can navigate back here: press WPT|WPT. Waypoint symbol and "001" appears. 7. Zoom/scroll map to find a nearby object or location to go to. Use arrow keys to center cursor cross-hair over the map object or location. 8. Navigate to the selected destination: press MENU|ENT|EXIT.
When you are traveling, the map will automatically move as you move. This keeps your current location roughly centered on-screen. You can manually pan or scroll the map north, south, east or west by using the arrow keys, which launch the cross-hair map cursor. This allows you to look at map places other than your current position. To clear the cursor, press EXIT, which jumps the map back to your current position or last known position.
Searching Now that you've seen how the unit 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 fast-food restaurant. For more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Searching. NOTE: This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database included with a high detail MapCreate custom map. After the unit has acquired a position: 1.
POI information screen on fast food restaurant nearest this position. Screen shows name, street address, phone number, latitude/longitude, distance to restaurant and its compass bearing. Figure at left shows Go To Waypoint command; right figure shows Find On Map command. 6. The unit's map appears, with the cross-hair cursor highlighting the restaurant' s POI symbol. A pop-up data box shows the POI's name, distance and bearing.
Set a Waypoint A waypoint is an electronic "address," based on the latitude and longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location, spot or destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled and used later for navigation purposes. You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map or at your current position while navigating. You can create a waypoint at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude.
Create Waypoint at Current Position While you are traveling, press WPT|WPT. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a name with a sequential number, such as "waypoint 003." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the map. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Sequence for setting a waypoint. Step 1: while traveling, quickly press WPT twice to call up Find Waypoint screen (seen in Step 2) and set a point. Step 3: a message says the waypoint has been saved.
Navigate to a Waypoint You can select any waypoint visible on the Map Page with the cursor, then use the Navigate to Cursor command (we'll describe how later in this section.) However, you can avoid scrolling the map to pick your waypoint if you use the Find Waypoint commands. 1. Press WPT|→ to SAVED|ENT. To look up the nearest waypoint, press ↓ to NEAREST|ENT; or, to look by name and scroll through the entire waypoint list, press ENT. For this example, search by name. 2.
To activate it, press the ZOUT and ZIN keys at the same time. Your position at the time these keys are pressed is used as the man overboard position. Caution: Saving a new "Man Overboard" waypoint will overwrite and erase the previous "Man Overboard" waypoint. Navigate Back to MOB Waypoint Find your way back to the accident position with the Navigation Page or Map Page.
2. Center the cursor over the location to select it. See the example in the following figure. Many map items such as waypoints, Points of Interest, towns, etc. can be "selected," and appear "highlighted" with a pop-up box. Other features, such as a river or a street intersection will not appear "highlighted," but the cursor will take you to those locations just the same. 3. Press MENU|ENT and the unit will begin navigating to the cursor location. Navigate to cursor.
To stop navigating to the cursor, use the Cancel Navigation command: press MENU|MENU|↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATION|ENT|← to YES|ENT. The unit stops showing navigation information. Navigate to a Point of Interest For POIs that are in view on the map, you can use the Navigate to Cursor command above; use the cursor to select the POI. The other method involves searching for POIs with the Find Waypoint command, launched with the WPT key.
To Save a Trail 1. Press MENU|MENU|↓ to MY TRAILS|ENT. Visible symbol Active symbol Sequence for saving a trail and beginning a new one, after My Trails command is selected. The Trails Menu, at left. The arrow to the right of Trail 2 indicates the trail is "active" and the check to the left indicates the trail is visible on the map display. The right figure shows the Edit Trail menu, with the Active and Visible commands selected. 2. Press ↓ to the Active Trail|ENT. 3. Press ↓ to ACTIVE|ENT.
You can save and recall up to 10 different plot trails, which can also be copied to your MMC for archiving or for transfer to your MapCreate software. Tip: Another quick way to stop recording one trail and begin a new one is to use the New Trail command: Press MENU|MENU|↓ to MY TRAILS|ENT|ENT. Caution: You also have the option of completely turning off trail recording, under the Trail Options command.
The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse (from end to start.) When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use visual back trailing because it is a bit better at following each little turn on a foot path.
