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 3500C 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 3500C'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.
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 3500C'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 3500C is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celsius).
The performance doesn't stop there. Stored in the permanent memory of each unit is a basic background map of the entire world. 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 6. Some unit features — such as searching for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map.
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 3500C. Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how the unit does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page 11, so you can mount your GlobalMap 3500C and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tutorials easy to skim.
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.

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 Y-adapter extension cable as shown in the following diagram. To connect it to the unit, insert the cable's splitter plug into the Network socket on the back of the unit and your system is ready to use. See the module's instruction sheet, publication part number 988-0147981, for complete installation directions.
Power Supply wires: red, black and white To unit NMEA-2000 Power wires: red, black and shield Data Cable wires: blue, yellow, orange and shield The Power/Data cable for this unit. Depending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires. (For example, many units cannot operate an optional external speaker, so the white wire on the Power Supply cable isn't functional.) The following segments include instructions for installing all the wires that you will use with this unit.
with electrical interference. Therefore, it's safer to go ahead and attach the power cable directly to the battery. CAUTION: When using the unit in a saltwater environment, we strongly recommend that you shut off the power supply to the power cable when the unit is not in use. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power cable plug.

face on the GlobalMap 3500C and receive positioning information. The GlobalMap 3500C can exchange information with any device that transmits or receives NMEA 0183 data. See the following diagram for general wiring connections. Read your other product’s owner’s manual for more wiring information. NMEA Wiring (Data cable) To exchange NMEA 0183, the GlobalMap 3500C has one NMEA 0183 version 2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to receive NMEA format GPS data.
ordering information is on the inside back cover of this manual. For a complete look at the many mounting options, visit the RAM web site at www.ram-mount.com. Optional R-A-M mounting system. Bracket Installation Mount the GlobalMap 3500C in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the GlobalMap 3500C to attach the power and GPS antenna/receiver module cables.
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. Some customers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the cable hole — it's a matter of personal preference. 72.9 [2.87] 173.9 [6.85] 23.4 [0.92] 137.9 [5.43] 157.9 [6.22] 56.9 [2.
In-Dash Installation You can mount the GlobalMap 3500C in the dash with an optional FM-5 In-Dash Adapter Kit. The kit includes mounting hardware, a template for cutting the hole and an instruction sheet, part 988-0147-43. 146.5 [5.76] Top R 7.9 [0.31] In-Dash Template 113.5 [4.46] Millimeters [Inches] ALWAYS VERIFY DIMENSIONS In-dash mounting template for the GlobalMap 3500C, showing dimensions. NOTE: The figure above is not printed to scale.
MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation Your GlobalMap 3500C uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as custom maps, waypoints, trails and other GPS data. The unit can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD card or SDC) to store data. NOTE: Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just remember that your unit can use an MMC or SD card to store data. Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC.
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. Once the card is started, use your fingernails to slide it the rest of the way to the left, until it is firmly seated in the slot. 3. Close the compartment door and fasten the thumb screw finger tight. Other Accessories Other accessories include MMC cards, MMC card readers and MapCreate™ 6 custom mapping software for your computer.

Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead.
Navigation Page This screen has a compass rose that not only shows your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. To get to the Navigation Page: Press PAGES|→ or ← to NAVIGATION|EXIT. 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 speed that you're making toward the waypoint. For instructions, see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 5.) Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually traveling. Bearing is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present position to the destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the Bearing data box 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.
A circular symbol depicting your destination (waypoint) appears on the screen as you approach the waypoint, as shown on the screen in the preceding figure. Travel Time is the time that it will take to reach your destination at your present closing speed. (You can also customize the time data box to show Arrival Time instead. Arrival Time is the local time it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your present closing speed and track.
Far left, Map Page opening screen. Center, zoomed to 100 miles and right, zoomed to 10 miles. 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 for this area. If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles.
The medium-detail U.S. maps contain: all incorporated cities; shaded metropolitan areas; county boundaries; shaded public lands (such as national forests and parks); some major city streets; Interstate, U.S. and state highways; Interstate highway exits and exit services information; large- and medium-sized lakes and streams; and more than 60,000 navigation aids and 10,000 wrecks and obstructions in U.S.

you when you select the grid. See the entry on Map Datum Selection for more information. The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) uses two grid lettering schemes, which are referred to as standard and standard + 10 MGRS on this unit. Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you use standard, and your position is off significantly, then try the alternate. NOTE: When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions are shown on all screens. This includes waypoints.
To configure a map fix: To use this format, you need to follow these steps in order. First, take your map of the area and determine a reference latitude/longitude. (Note: in order for this system to work, the latitude/longitude lines must be parallel with the edge of the map. USGS maps are parallel, others may not be. Also, this works better with smaller scale maps, such as 1:24000.
All position information now shows as a distance from the reference point you chose. Customize Page Displays Every Page display option except Full Map (on the Map Page) has customizable data boxes to provide constant on-screen information. The various data available from your unit are divided into categories in the Data Viewer menu. These categories include GPS Data, Navigation, Trip Calculator, Time and Miscellaneous Data.
you are finished with the settings, press EXIT again to end the Customize command, and the box name stops flashing. A Page display can show a limited number of data boxes. You can not turn them off or add more data boxes. GPS Simulator The GPS simulator lets you use the unit as if you were outdoors navigating somewhere. It's a great way to practice using your unit.

Maps that are created using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly different locations. All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire world, or just a small portion of it. By default, your position shows using the WGS-84 datum.
