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 technology, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the GlobalMap Baja® 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 highresolution, high-performance GPS+WAAS chart recorder.
Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan GPS lessons that follow one another in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your way on the water or in the wilderness quickly. After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS experience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap Baja'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, organized in alphabetical order.
How Lowrance GPS Works You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap Baja 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, Installation & Accessories on page 9. If you're new to GPS, read on, and you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowledge.).
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 computer file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared between Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units or even personal computers. This GlobalMap Baja has one more thing in common with a personal computer.
the armed forces of the U.S. and its allies. Civilian use was also available at first, but it was less accurate because the military scrambled the signal somewhat, using a process called Selective Availability (SA). GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation the federal government discontinued SA on May 2, 2000, after the military developed other methods to deny GPS service to enemy forces.
GlobalMap Baja to determine direction of travel, you must be moving and the faster, the better. This is not to say that it won’t work at walking or trolling speeds — it will. There will simply be more "wandering" of the data shown on the display. GPS is plenty accurate for route navigation, but the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has special needs for aircraft traffic control that go beyond basic GPS.
Arrow Keys The arrow keys control the movement of dotted cross-hair lines on your mapping screen called the cursor. The arrow keys help you move around the menus so you can execute different commands. They are represented by symbols like these, which denote the down arrow key, the up arrow, the left arrow and the right arrow: ↓ ↑ ← →. 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.

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 unit. The LGC-3000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly (using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000® network. NOTE: See the module’s instruction sheet, publication part number 9880154-651, for complete installation instructions.
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. 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.
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 isolation from electrical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The display power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive (+) lead, black is negative (–) or ground.
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 socket. (However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network. If you have a network that is already powered, see diagram B.
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 (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.

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 network is similar to the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room, you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom.
NOTE: If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not attached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from corrosion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has "Cap" stamped into the connector housing. Adding a Network Node You can add a node to any existing connection, anywhere along the network backbone.
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 display units and components, so no adapter cables are needed. Mounting the Unit: Bracket You can install the GlobalMap Baja on the top of a dash with the supplied gimbal bracket. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-AM® bracket mounting system.
Cable hole Screw mounting hole Front 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 cables. Screw the bracket to the mounting surface.
To pass all connectors through the 1" hole, first pass the antenna connector 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 marine caulking compound. No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the unit. Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs and washers.
MMC groove for card removal Thumb screw Insert card face up, this way Memory card compartment with a 16 MB MMC card installed. To remove an MMC or SD Card 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. Use the ball of your finger or thumb and press down in the center of the card, then drag the MMC from the slot.
MapCreate™ 6 CD-ROM, left; MMC card reader for USB ports, right. Now that you have your GlobalMap Baja installed, move on to Section 3, Basic GPS Operations. There, we'll present a series of step-by-step tutorials to teach you the basics of GPS navigation. 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.
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. Material in Sec. 4 is arranged in alphabetical order. 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.
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. It is also used to create event marker icons. 6.
Main Menu. The Main Menu commands and their functions are: Screen command: changes the contrast or brightness of the screen. Sounds command: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style. Transparency command: adjusts 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.
Pages The unit has four Page displays that represent the four major operating modes. They are the Satellite Status Page, the Navigation Page, the Map Page and Radar Page (for more information on Radar see additional materials). They are accessed by pressing the PAGES key, then using → or ← to select a Page (Clear the Pages Menu by pressing EXIT.). Pages Menu showing some Map display options.
The Satellite Status Page. 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. You can use this to see which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in your immediate area if the unit is facing north.
The navigation screen looks like the one below when you're not navigating to a waypoint or following a route or trail. Your position is shown by an arrow in the center of the screen. Your trail history, or path you've just taken, is depicted 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 are taking.
Bearing window shows the compass direction straight to the destination from your location at the moment. Distance shows how far it is to the waypoint you're navigating toward. The Off Course window shows the current cross track error. This shows the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you started navigating to the destination waypoint.
In the example above, the driver is headed north (a 355º track) toward a waypoint 355º (bearing) away. The cross track error range (white corridor) is 0.20 miles either side of the course. The driver is headed toward trail waypoint 4, which is 0.14 miles away. The vehicle is virtually on course (off course 1 foot to the right). Traveling at a speed of 27 mph, the driver will arrive at the waypoint in 19 seconds.
Map Page opening screen (left). Zoomed to 100 miles (center) and zoomed to 15 miles (right). Over Zoomed means you have reached the detail limits in an area covered only by the basic background map. Zooming in any closer will reveal no more map details because a highdetail custom map has not been loaded on the MMC. If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles.
MapCreate custom maps include massive amounts of information not found in the background map. MapCreate contains: the searchable Points of Interest database, all the minor roads and streets, all the landmark features (such as summits, schools, radio towers, etc.); more rivers, streams, smaller lakes and ponds and their names. What's more important is the large-scale map detail that allows your GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy.
The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map Page category. To access them, press PAGES|← or→ to MAP|↓ to Option|EXIT. GlobalMap Baja Digital Data page (left) and Two Position Formats page (right). Pages Menu with Two Maps option selected (left). Map Page with two map windows (right). The right map is active. In pages that have two major windows (such as two maps) you can toggle back and forth between the two windows by pressing PAGES|PAGES.
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. Map Menu with Resize Window command selected (left). Resize Window command is active (center). Pressing the ← → or ↑ ↓ keys allows you to resize the windows from side to side or stack them one on top of the other (right). The following page contains a 12-step quick reference for the most basic GPS operations.
GPS Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. While you're learning, navigation in too small an area will constantly trigger arrival alarms. 1. Connect the unit to electric power and the antenna module. Make sure the MMC is in. (See complete installation details beginning on page 9.) 2. To turn on the GlobalMap Baja, press and release PWR key. 3.
Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning the GlobalMap Baja on. With an unobstructed view of the sky, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception.
