NOTICE!

The storage and operation temperature range for your unit is from -20

degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-28 degrees to +75 degrees Cel-

sius). Extended storage or operation in temperatures higher or lower

than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your unit. This

type of damage is not covered by the warranty. For more information,

contact the factory's Customer Service Department; phone numbers are

listed on the last page of the manual.

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. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not

only take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a way-

point, but will also visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the waypoint

is always available.

WARNING!

When a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely re-

sponsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Vehicle operators

must maintain full surveillance of all pertinent driving, boating or flying

conditions at all times. An accident or collision resulting in damage to

property, personal injury or death could occur if the operator of a GPS-

equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel conditions and vehi-

cle operation while the vehicle is in motion.

Notes

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

5300c iGPS and begin installing it, please give us a mo-

ment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best per-

formance from your compact, wide-screen, mapping GPS receiver.

First, we want to thank you for buying a Lowrance GPS unit. Whether

you're a first time user or a professional fisherman, you'll discover that

your GlobalMap 5300c is easy to use, yet capable of handling demand-

ing navigation tasks. When you team your unit with our custom map-

ping software MapCreate™, you have an incredible combination. You

won't find another GPS unit with this much power and this many fea-

tures for this price!

Our goal for this book is to get you on the road fast, with a minimum of

fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time navigating 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. At the start (or end) of

each segment, we'll tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a

concept you're already familiar with, we'll show you how and where to

skip ahead for the next important topic. We've also made it easy to look

up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:

The manual is organized into 7 sections. This first section is an intro-

duction to Lowrance GPS. It tells you the basics you need to know be-

fore you can make the unit look around and tell you where you are.

Section 2 will help you install your unit. We'll show you how to get the

MultiMedia Card (MMC) correctly installed inside the unit. We'll also

tell you about some of the available accessories.

Section 3 covers Basic GPS Operation. It will show you how easy it is to

run the GlobalMap 5300c, right out of the box. This section features a

one-page GPS Quick Reference. (If you've already jumped ahead

and figured out how to install the unit yourself, and you just

can't wait any longer, turn to the Quick Reference on page 40

and head for the road with your GPS unit!)

Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan GPS lessons that follow one an-

other 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 ex-

perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap 5300c's

many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Ad-

vanced GPS Operations.

When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap 5300c's

screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of con-

tents, just flipping through Section 3 or scanning through the command

portion of Section 4.

This unit 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

general system options along with GPS options in Section 5, System Setup

and GPS Setup Options.

In Section 6, we go into more detail on one of the GlobalMap 5300c's

most remarkable capabilities — Searching. We'll introduce a search

example in the Basic GPS Operation section, but there are so many

map items you can search for, we had to give this function its own sec-

tion in the manual! For example, did you know this unit can look up

business phone numbers, functioning as a virtual Yellow Pages? We’ll

show you how in Section 6.

Finally, in Section 7, we offer Supplemental Material, including a list of

the GPS datums used, warranties and customer service information.

Now, if you're into the fine details, glance over the next segment on speci-

fications to see just how much GPS power your GlobalMap 5300c con-

tains.

How Lowrance GPS Works

You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap

5300c 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 Sec-

tion 2, Installation & Accessories on page 11. If you're new to GPS, read

on, and you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowl-

edge.)

First, think of your unit as a small but powerful computer. (But don't

worry — we made it easy to use, so you don't need to be a computer ex-

pert to find your way!) The GlobalMap 5300c includes a keypad and a

screen with menus so you can tell it what to do. The screen also lets the

unit show your location on a moving map, as well as point the way to

your destination.

This gimbal-mounted GlobalMap 5300c uses an internal an-

tenna/receiver module, which makes the whole system work something

like your car radio. But instead of your favorite dance tunes, this re-

ceiver tunes in to a couple of dozen GPS satellites circling the earth. (It

will also listen in to the WAAS satellites in orbit, but more about that

in the upcoming segment introducing you to GPS and WAAS.)

Your unit listens to signals from as many satellites as it can see above

the horizon, eliminates the weakest signals, then computes its location

in relation to those satellites. Once the GlobalMap 5300c figures its

latitude and longitude, it plots that position on the moving map shown

on the screen. The whole process takes place several times a second!

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 map-

making software, MapCreate™. Some unit features — such as search-

ing for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom Map-

Create map. There is so much detail in our background map (and even

more in MapCreate) that we'll describe their contents and differences

in Section 3, Basic GPS Operations, on page 34.

Another portion of the GlobalMap 5300c's onboard memory is devoted to

recording GPS navigation information, which includes waypoints, event

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. Like any com-

puter file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared be-

tween Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units or even personal computers.

This GlobalMap 5300c has one more thing in common with a personal

computer. Just as computers have a floppy disk drive for storing and ex-

changing files, the unit has a slot for an MMC (MultiMedia Card) or SD

(Secure Digital card) flash memory card. These solid-state memory de-

vices are about the size of a postage stamp, but can hold data ranging

from 8 MB to 2 GB in size. (Compare that to a floppy disk's 1.44 MB ca-

pacity!) This unit uses all that MMC space for two key GPS purposes.

First, you can backup your onboard GPS Data Files by copying them to

the MMC. Since the MMC is removable (like a floppy disk or a cassette

tape), you can store these GPS Data Files on a personal computer

equipped with an MMC card reader. (Or store them on a pocketful of

MMCs, if you don't have a computer.) Our MapCreate mapping software

can save, edit or create its own GPS Data Files, which can be copied to the

MMC and then loaded from the MMC into the unit's memory. (NOTE: No

matter where they come from, GPS Data Files must be loaded from the

MMC into memory before the GlobalMap 5300c can use them.)

The other key GPS use for MMCs is storage of special high-detail, cus-

tom maps, which you can produce on your computer with our MapCre-

ate software. These MapCreate custom maps contain much greater de-

tail than the basic background 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 SD card. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an

MMC containing a map into the GlobalMap 5300c.

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 5300c and plug in the power. Or

you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tuto-

rials easy to skim. If that's the case, move on to "How to Use This Man-

ual" on page 8. But, if you want to understand the current state of sat-

ellite navigation, look over this segment describing how GPS and its

new companion WAAS work together to get you where you're going.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched July 17, 1995 by the

United States Department of Defense. It was designed as a 24-hour-a-

day, 365-days-a-year, all weather global navigation system for 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 some-

what, using a process called Selective Availability (SA).

GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation that the federal govern-

ment discontinued SA on May 2, 2000, after the military developed

other methods to deny GPS service to enemy forces. Reliable accuracy

for civilian users jumped from 100 meters (330 feet) under SA to the

present level of 10 to 20 meters (about 30 to 60 feet.)

Twenty-four satellites orbit 10,900 nautical miles above the Earth, pass-

ing overhead twice daily. A series of ground stations (with precisely sur-

veyed locations) controls the satellites and monitors their exact locations

in the sky. Each satellite broadcasts a low-power signal that identifies

the satellite and its position above the earth. Three of these satellites are

spares, unused until needed. The rest virtually guarantee that at least

four satellites are in view nearly anywhere on Earth at all times.

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. These signals can be easily blocked by trees,

buildings, an automobile roof, even your body.

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. Therefore, in order for the

GlobalMap 5300c 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 alone is accurate for route navigation, but the U.S. Federal Avia-

tion Administration has special aircraft navigation needs that go be-

yond basic GPS. So, the FAA has developed a program to boost GPS

performance with its Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS. The

FAA commissioned the system on July 11, 2003.

WAAS is designed to increase GPS accuracy to within 7.6 meters verti-

cally and horizontally, but it consistently delivers accuracies within 1-2

meters horizontal and 2-3 meters vertical, according to the FAA. It does

this by broadcasting correction signals on GPS frequencies. Your unit

automatically receives both GPS and WAAS signals.

There, however, are some fringe areas of the U.S., including parts of

Alaska that do not yet receive robust WAAS coverage. Continued

WAAS development is planned to extend WAAS coverage in the years

to come.

WAAS boosts the accuracy of land GPS navigation, but the system is

designed for aircraft. The satellites are in a fixed orbit around the

Equator, so they appear very low in the sky to someone on the ground

in North America. Aircraft and vessels on open water can get consis-

tently good WAAS reception, but terrain, foliage or even large man-

made structures can sometimes block the WAAS signal from ground

receivers.

You'll find that using your GPS receiver is both easy and amazingly

accurate. It’s easily the most accurate method of electronic navigation

available to the general public today. Remember that this receiver is

only a tool. Always have another method of navigation available, such

as a map or chart and a compass.

Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information

in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless

of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you

and your destination, for example. It’s up to you to safely navigate

around obstacles, no matter how you’re using this product.

And that is just some of the material available on our web site. To find

out what we have available, log on and look around. For now, we'll get

back to how to use this particular unit.

How to use this manual: typographical conventions

Many instructions are listed as numbered steps. The keypad and arrow

"keystrokes" appear as boldface type. So, if you're in a real hurry (or

just need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out what

menu command to use by finding the boldface command text. The fol-

lowing paragraphs explain how to interpret the text formatting for

those commands and other instructions:

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. For example, the

"Enter/Icons" 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:

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.

Instructions = Menu Sequences

Most functions you perform with this unit are described as a sequence

of key strokes and selecting menu commands. We've written them in a

condensed manner for quick and easy reading.

For example, instructions for navigating a trail would look like this:

1. From the Map Page, press

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. Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you can

plan how and where to route the power cable. This will help you make

sure you have enough cable length for the desired configuration.

NOTE:

The GPS antenna is inside the unit, so you must mount the unit in

a location with an unobstructed view of the sky.

2. Determine the location of your battery or other power connection,

along with the power cable route.

3. Install the power cable and route it to the GPS unit.

4. Mount the GPS unit.

Power Connections

Your unit comes with a power/data cable that splits into three

branches, each with several exposed wires.

The thicker three-wire cable (white, red and black) is the power supply

for your display unit. This cable has no label.

The thinner branch with three wires (red, black and shield) is the

power cable for a NMEA 2000 network. It is labeled "NMEA 2000

POWER."

The branch with four wires (blue, yellow, orange, and shield) is a data

cable, labeled "RS-232 COMM." It supports a serial communication

port. This allows your unit to exchange NMEA 0183 data with another

device, such as an autopilot, DSC marine radio or computer.

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.

Caution:

All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas-

ier 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. Attach the

display power cable (with provided 3-amp fuse) to an accessory switch

or power bus. If this results in electrical interference, connect direct to

a battery but install an in-line switch on the cable.

Caution:

We strongly recommend that you shut off the power supply to the

power cable when the unit is not in use, especially in saltwater en-

vironments. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a

power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power cable plug. This

may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical

contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. Risk of electroly-

sis corrosion is even greater when the cable is unplugged from the

unit, but still connected to a power source.

We recommend you connect the power cable to the auxiliary power

switch included in most boat designs. If that results in electrical

To unit

Display unit power wires:

white, red and black

red, black and shield

Data cable wires:

and shield

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. When you are not using the unit, you should always

shut off power to the power cable, especially when the power cable

is disconnected from the unit.

WARNING:

This product must be independently fused with the en-

closed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to

a fused accessory or power bus.

If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive dam-

age can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used. As with all

electrical devices, this unit could be damaged to a point

that it is unrepairable 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 three wires, white, red and black. Red is the

positive (+) lead, black is negative (–) or ground. The white wire is un-

used by your unit and should be capped. Make sure to attach the in-line

fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible.

For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the power bus or

battery, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the power bus or

battery. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event

of a short.

This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the

power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the

wires are attached correctly.

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. 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 on page 15.)

Mounting the Unit: Bracket or Portable

You can install the GlobalMap 5300c 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. This converts the unit's gimbal

bracket to a swivel mount, which can be used on the dash or overhead

mounting positions. R-A-M offers permanent mounts and temporary

mounts suitable for many vehicle types. See your Lowrance dealer or

Optional R-A-M mounting system.

Bracket Installation

Mount the GlobalMap 5300c in any convenient location, provided there is

clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle.

Caution:

The unit must be installed in a location with a clear view of the sky, so

the internal GPS antenna can lock-on to satellite signals. The antenna

is located near the back of the case, so that tilting the unit at an ex-

treme angle will obstruct the internal antenna's view of the sky

and can block or degrade satellite signal reception. For example:

If the unit is installed on the deck of a boat and you are fishing in a

standing position or in a chair, tilting the unit horizontal may provide

the best view of the display. However, a horizontal position usually

hampers antenna operation in this type of unit.

You can still mount the unit on a deck and maintain good reception.

Just switch to the Satellite Page, then slowly tilt the unit back. As the

angle increases, watch for signal degradation or loss of lock. This step

allows you to tilt the unit as much as possible while maintaining satel-

lite lock. After you've determined the best combination of unit visibility

and signal strength, you can switch back to the Sonar or Map page for

normal operation

Make sure there is enough room behind the GlobalMap 5300c to attach the

power cable. (A drawing on the next page shows the dimensions of a gim-

bal-mounted GlobalMap 5300c.)

Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting.

You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin fiber-

glass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.

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. 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 custom-

ers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the cable hole

— it's a matter of personal preference.

GlobalMap 5300c when mounted on gimbal bracket.

After drilling the hole, 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

sealant compound. (Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to con-

ceal 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 5300c. 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.

Before positioning the bracket, be sure to hold the cables against the

rear edge of the hole. Then, slide the bracket over the hole and butt the

rear of the bracket base firmly against the cables, thus pinning them in

place against the side of the hole. Finally, fasten the bracket to the

dash. Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal

knobs and washers.

Portable Installation

Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap 5300c is capable of port-

able operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power

pack expands 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 sec-

ond bracket. You can use your unit in your own car or boat, then take it

along when riding in a friend's vehicle that's not equipped with GPS.

Most LEI portable power packs can be used with eight "D" cell alkaline

batteries. Some use an optional sealed, rechargeable battery. For in-

formation on the PPP for your unit, see the accessory ordering informa-

tion inside the back cover of this manual.

Installing batteries in a typical portal power pack.

"D" cell battery

MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation

Your GlobalMap 5300c 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) to store data.

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 memory devices are about the size of a

postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC. As this

manual went to press, MMCs and SD cards were available in various

storage capacities up to 2 gigabytes.

Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras; see ordering in-

formation inside the back cover of this manual. MMCs and SD cards

are also available at many camera and consumer electronics stores.

The MMC slot is located in a compartment on the front of the case. The

compartment door is located at the lower right corner. The following

figure shows a close-up with the door opened.

Memory card compartment with a 16 MB MMC card installed.

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. Close the compartment door and fasten the thumbnail screw finger

tight.

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

Cleaning Towel

A lint-free microfiber towel is included for cleaning the unit’s screen.

The towel is highly effective in clearing 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. If the screen is badly soiled, you

may use water or common window or lens cleaners. However, DO NOT

use polishing compounds or any other abrasive product.

If you lose the towel or wear it out, you can replace it with a similar

microfiber cloth. These are often available where shop towels or auto-

mobile cleaning towels are sold.

Caution:

Cleaning fabrics other than the microfiber towel type may scratch

the screen. Polishing compounds or other abrasive cleaners will

scratch the screen. Damage caused by incorrect cleaning is not cov-

ered by the warranty. You may wash the towel if it becomes soiled

or loses its effectiveness, but do not use fabric softener. Fabric sof-

tener will ruin the towel’s cleaning capability.

Other accessories include MMC cards, MMC card readers and Map-

Create™ custom mapping software for your computer. LEI offers sev-

eral specialty plug-&-play map cards, including lake contour maps and

marine coastal charts. A variety of LowranceNET NMEA 2000 elec-

tronic probe sensors and digital gauges are also available.

MapCreate™ CD-ROM, left; MMC card reader for USB ports, right.

Face Cover

A white protective cover that snaps on and off the front of the unit is

available. This cover is intended for use when the vehicle is 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.

Now that you have your GlobalMap 5300c 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.

Section 3: Basic GPS Operation

This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tuto-

rials presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Advanced

GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utili-

ties.

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. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, turn to the

one-page Quick Reference on page 40.

Satellite Status Page

The Satellite Status Page provides detailed information on the status

of the unit's satellite lock-on and position acquisition. To get to the Sat-

ellite Status Page: Press the

PAGES key, then use → or ← to select

STATUS. (Clear the Pages Menu by pressing EXIT.)

No matter what Page you are on, a flashing current position indica-

tor/question mark symbol and flashing GPS data displays indicate that

satellite lock has been lost and there is no position confirmed. The Sat-

ellite Status 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 Status Page (left). Custom Gauges (right).

This screen will show 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 GPS receiver will track satellites that are in bold type. The re-

ceiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if the number is grayed out, there-

fore it isn't being used to calculate your position.

Beneath the circular graph will be 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.

You can set up custom digital gauges through the Satellite Status page

menu. The Custom Gauges feature allows you to monitor a wide vari-

ety of data from one page.

To set up Custom Gauge page:

1. Select the

SATELLITE STATUS page from the Pages menu, highlight CUS-

TOM

GAUGES and press ENT.

2. Press

MENU. OVERLAY DATA will highlighted, so press ENT. The Overlay

Data shown menu will appear.

3. Highlight

(PRESS ENT TO ADD…) and press ENT to open the Data Viewer

menu with five expandable data categories: GPS Data, Navigation,

Trip Calculator, Time and Sensor Data.

4. Highlight the desired data category and press

pand the list, revealing several subcategories with checkboxes next to

them.

5. Select the desired subcategory and press

ENT, which will place a

checkmark in the checkbox, showing the selected data is set for display.

6. If you want to display other data types, repeat Steps 4 and 5. Press

EXIT repeatedly to get back to the Custom Gauges page. The data you

selected will now be displayed on the screen.

To change Overlay data size:

1. From the Custom Gauges page, press MENU SELECT OVERLAY DATA and

press

ENT. The Overlay Data Shown menu will appear.

2. Highlight the data you want to resize, then use ← → to set the data

to the desired size to one of four options: Off, Small, Medium, Large

and Enormous.

3. To change the size of another Data Type, repeat the steps above. To

return to the Sonar with Custom Gauges display, press

EXIT.

NOTE:

One of the data display options for the Satellite Status page is "Po-

sition Error" (horizontal position error), which can appear in one of

the page's data boxes. If you turn on Position Error, 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 also gives you an indicator of the fix quality the unit currently

has. The smaller the position error number, the better (and more ac-

curate) the fix is. If the position error flashes dashes, then the unit

hasn't locked onto the satellites, and the number shown isn't valid.

(For details, see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 8.)

The Satellite Status Page has its own menu, which is used for setting

various options. (Options and setup are discussed in Sec. 8). To access

the Satellite Status Page Menu, from the Status Page, press

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 Navi-

gation Page: Press

PAGES|→ or ← to NAVIGATION|EXIT.

The navigation screen looks like the one below when you're not navi-

gating 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 ar-

row. The arrow pointing down at the top of the compass rose indicates

the current track (direction of travel) you are taking.

Navigation Page, recording a trail, traveling southwest. Page looks

like this when the unit is not navigating to a waypoint, following

a route, or backtracking a trail.

When navigating to a waypoint, the Navigation screen looks like the

following figure. 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 dis-

plays are flashing, satellite lock has not been achieved and no posi-

tion 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.

(If you wish, you can customize the Speed data box to display Closing

Speed instead. Closing Speed is also known as velocity made good. It's

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 travel-

ing. Bearing is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present posi-

tion to the destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the

Bearing data box shows the compass direction straight to the destina-

tion 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. The course line is shown

on the Navigation Page screen (and the Map Page screen) as a dotted line.

The cross track error range is shown on the compass rose as a wide,

white, corridor enclosing the course line. The outer edges of this white

corridor represent lines that show the current cross track error range.

The default for the cross track error range is 0.20 miles.

For example, if the present position symbol touches the right cross

track error line, then you are 0.20 miles to the right of the desired

course. You need to steer left to return to the desired course. You can

use the

ZIN or ZOUT keys to change the cross track error range.

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.)

In the preceding example figure, the driver is headed west (a 265º

track) toward a waypoint 265º (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 0.3 miles away. The vehicle

is right on course. Traveling at a speed of 8 mph, the driver will arrive

at the waypoint in 2 minutes, 17 seconds.

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. 8.) If you're navigating to a waypoint, the map also shows your

starting location, present position, course line and destination. You,

however, don't have to navigate to a waypoint to use the map.

Map Page is the default screen that appears when you turn on the unit.

To get to the Map Page from another page: Press

PAGES|← or → to

MAP|EXIT. When the Map Page is displayed, a screen similar to the fol-

lowing figures appears.

The arrow in the center of the screen is your present position. It points

in the direction you're traveling. The solid line extending from the back

of the arrow is your plot trail, or path you've taken.

The map zoom range is the distance across the screen. This number

shows in the lower right corner of the screen. In the first of the follow-

ing example figures, the range is 4,000 miles from the left edge of the

map to the right edge of the map.

The Zoom In and Zoom Out keys zoom the map to enlarge or reduce its

coverage area and the amount of mapping detail shown. There are 39

available map zoom ranges, from 0.02 miles to 4,000 miles.

Map Page opening screen (left). Set to 100-mile zoom (center) and 10-

in closer will reveal no more map detail because a high-detail 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. You can con-

tinue to zoom in closer, but the map will simply 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 mas-

sive amounts of accurate map detail.

Map Pages with high-detail MapCreate map of an urban area loaded on

the MMC. Arterial streets appear at the 4-mile zoom range (left) with a

few Point of Interest icons visible. Numerous dots representing Points of

Interest are visible at the 2-mile range (center) along with minor streets.

At a 0.4-mile zoom (right), you can see an interstate highway with an

exit, major and minor streets as well as Point of Interest icons.

Background map vs. MapCreate map content

The background map includes: low-detail maps of the whole world, con-

taining cities, major lakes, major rivers, political boundaries, and me-

dium-detail maps of the United States. The medium-detail U.S. maps

contain: all incorporated cities, shaded metropolitan areas, county

boundaries, shaded public lands (such as national forests and parks)

and some major city streets. Also included are Interstate, U.S. and

state highways, large- and medium-sized lakes and streams and more

than 60,000 navigation aids with 10,000 wrecks and obstructions in

U.S. coastal and Great Lakes waters. New for 2007 are more than

3,000 enhanced lake maps that show better defined shorelines, depth

contours and other underwater features.

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. 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

in MapCreate.

NOTE:

Available through LEI Extras (look inside back cover for accessory

ordering information), FreedomMaps are pre-made maps that con-

tain all of the same information available in a custom MapCreate

map, without any work on your part.

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

0.2 mile zoom example (right), the cursor has selected the Cupps Café

POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up box

works on POIs at any zoom range.

Tip:

In some urban areas, businesses are so close to one another that

their POI icons crowd each other on the screen. You can reduce

screen clutter and make streets and other map features easier to

see by simply turning off the display of POIs you're not watching

for. (To see how, check the text on Map Detail Category Selection,

page 86. It shows how to use the Map Categories Drawn menu to

turn individual POI displays off and on.) Even though their display

is turned off, you can still search for POIs and their icons will pop-

up when your unit finds them for you.

Find Your Current Position

Finding your current position is as simple as turning on the unit. With-

out obstruction from dense foliage, terrain or structures, the unit auto-

matically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approxi-

mately 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. To

correct this, be sure you are positioned so that the unit's antenna mod-

ule has as clear a view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and

back on again.

Moving Around the Map: Zoom & Cursor Arrow Keys

The map is presented from a bird's eye view. The current zoom range

shows in the lower left corner of the screen.

1. Press the

ZIN key (zoom in) to move in closer and see greater detail in a

smaller geographic area.

2. Press the

ZOUT key (zoom out) to move farther away and see less map

detail, but a larger geographic area.

When you are traveling, the map will automatically move as you move.

This keeps your current location roughly centered on the screen.

You can manually pan or scroll the map northward, southward, east-

ward or westward by using the arrow keys, which launch the crosshairs

map cursor. This allows you to look at map places other than your cur-

rent position. To clear the cursor, press

EXIT, which move the map back

to the current position or the last known position.

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 popup data box. Press

EXIT to clear the cursor.

The selected airport to the northwest is 4.2 miles away.

Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor

1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and

find the item you wish to select.

2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor crosshairs on the desired ob-

ject. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.

Tip:

This unit has a Cursor Undo feature that lets you instantly return

to the previous location you were looking at without scrolling. It

works like this: Use the cursor (arrow keys) to scroll the map to

some far away location or waypoint. Press

EXIT to clear the cursor

and jump back to your current position on the map. When you want

to take another peek at that distant place, just press

EXIT again.

You can use this trick to toggle between your current position and

your destination without a lot of scrolling.

Searching

Now that you have seen how the unit can find where you are, let's

search for something else. Searching is one of the most powerful fea-

tures in the Lowrance GPS product line.

In this example, we will look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For

more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec. 6, Search-

ing.

NOTE:

This example requires the Point of Interest (POI) database in-

cluded with a high detail MapCreate custom map.

Tidal Station location. An example is displayed at right. When you

zoom in to a sufficiently small zoom range (0.8 nautical mile), the icon

becomes an animated gauge showing a rising or falling tidal height for

the selected station at the present time. At larger zoom ranges, you can

select the boxed "T" icon and it becomes an animated gauge with a pop-

up name box. The name box disappears seconds.

Shipping Information

If it becomes necessary to send a product for repair or replacement, you

must first receive a return authorization number from Customer

Service. Products shipped without a return authorization will not be

accepted. When shipping, we recommend you do the following:

1. Please do not ship knobs or mounting brackets with gimbal units.

2. If your unit saves sonar logs or GPS data files to memory cards,

make sure you have saved the data to a memory card and that the card

has been removed from the unit, otherwise your data will be lost.

3. If you are sending a check for repair, please place your check in an

envelope and tape it to the unit.

4. For proper testing, include a brief note with the product describing

the problem. Be sure to include your name, return shipping address

and a daytime telephone number. An e-mail address is optional but

useful.

5. Pack the unit in a suitable size box with packing material to prevent

any damage during shipping.

6. Write the Return Authorization (RA) number on the outside of the

box underneath your return address.

7. For your security, you may want to insure the package through your

shipping courier. Lowrance does not assume responsibility for goods

lost or damaged in transit.
