NOTES: 
WARNING! 
USE  THIS MAPPING UNIT ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION. A 
CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO 
OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. 
The background maps built into this unit are not intended for navigation. 
The accuracy of these maps has not been verified. The maps are derived 
from U.S. Government sources which rely on ground and aerial surveys 
and satellite data. Since there can be inaccuracies in the data used to 
create the map and the maps resolution, and position inaccuracies in the 
navigation system, you should use caution when using this product. 
CAUTION 
When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this unit will show 
the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint  regardless of obstacles. 
Therefore,  the prudent  navigator will  not only take advantage  of all 
available  navigation tools when travelling to a waypoint,  but will also 
visually check to make certain a clear, safe path to the waypoint is always 
available. 
NOTICE! 
As of this writing, the Department of Defense (DOD) has not declared the 
GPS navigation system operational. The system is still in a testing phase. 
Satellites can be turned off or accuracy can be degraded at will by the 
system operators. Remember this if you use a GPS receiver  as the 
position input to the GlobalMap 1000.

6. TRAIL PLOT 
If you turn the plot trail recording off, (using the Trail Recording function 
on the "Mapping  Setup" menu) then the GlobalMap 1000 will stop 
plotting your trail. However, it will show your trail on the map up to the 
point that you turned it off. 
7. TRAIL PLOT 
There is a maximum of 2000 dots available to plot a trail. 
8.  EVENT MARKER 
Pressing the EVENT MARKER key twice puts the last used marker at 
your present position or at the cursor position if it's displayed. 
9.  EVENT MARKER 
You can't erase event markersfrom the displaywhen it's in the "course- 
up" mode. 
10.The storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 
degrees Fahrenheit (-20 to ÷75 degrees Celcius). Extended storage 
temperatures higher or lowerthan specified will cause the liquid crystal 
display to fail. Neither this type of failure nor its consequences  are 
covered by the warranty. For more information, consult the factory 
customer service department. 
INTRODUCTION 
The GlobalMap  1000 is a high quality, wide screen  mapping  unit with 
performance that is second to none in its class. Using menu features and 
"soft-key" operation, the GlobalMap 1000 is also one of the easiest-to-use 
products that Lowrance has ever built. It sets new standards in mapping 
versatility and performance by combining a built-in reference map (back- 
ground map) with the ability to read mapping cartridges (requires optional 
MapLinkTM cartridge reader.) The displayand keyboard are also lighted for 
night operation. 
The GlobalMap  1000's built-in  background map includes  virtually  the 
whole world, however, over7o% of the map's detail is in the 48-contiguous 
states, HawaD, and southern Canada. If you install the MapLink cartridge 
reader, the GlobalMap 1000 can display highly detailed charts available on 
C-Map cartridges, covering most coastal areas around the world. In the 
future, Lowrancewill also have cartridges availablethatcover many inland 
areas. 
MOUNTING - Bracket Mount 
Install the GlobalMap 1000 in any convenient location, provided there is 
clearance behind the unit when it is tilted forthe best viewing angle. Holes 
in the bracket base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may 
need to place a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to 
secure the mounting hardware. Make certain there is enough room behind 
the unit to attach the power and MapLink cables (if used). 
SLOT 
The smallest hole that will pass the power plug is one inch. After the hole 
is drilled,  pass the MapLink connector up through the hole first (if used), 
then pass the power cable down through it. 
After the cables have been routed, fill the hole with a good marine sealing 
compound.  Offset the bracket to cover the hole. Route the power and 
MapLink cables through the slot in the back of the bracket.

IN-DASH MOUNTING 
The GlobalMap  1000 can be installed  in the dash with the supplied 
hardware if the dash is 1/2" thick or less. Determining the dash thickness 
can be difficult, however, if you remove a gauge from the dash, you can 
easily measure thethickness. Trythis in an areathat's closeto the location 
that you wish to install the unit since the thickness can vary significantly 
in some boats. Make certain there is clearance behind the dash forthe unit 
and there is enough room to tighten the bolts on both sides of the unit.

Once you've determined the location forthe unit, cut the hole according to 
the drawing shown above. Measure carefully before cuttingl After cutting 
the dash, place the gasket supplied with the GlobalMap 1000 around the 
unit and place the unit in the hole. 
Supplied with the GlobalMap 1000 are rubber pads, bolts, washers, and 
cam clamps to attach it to the dash. Peel the adhesive backing off the 
rubber pads and place one on each side of the unit in the location where 
the cam clamp will touch the back side of the dash. Usingthe hardware 
supplied with the unit, attach the unitto the dash. Looking atthe back of the 
unit, make certain that the cam clamp on the left side of the unit is pointing 
down and the cam clamp on the right side of the unit is pointing up before 
you start tightening the bolts.

The GlobalMap 1000 won't operate in the course up mode when the C- 
MapTM background map is in use. 
2.  C-MAP 
Buoys and  other naviga- 
tional aids have additional 
information available when 
using a C-MAP  cartridge. 
To view this data, move the 
cursor on top of the desired 
symbol, as shown at right. 
Now pressthe ENT key. The 
screen shown below ap- 
pears. An information box

3.  ROUTES and WAYPOINTS 
If an asterisk * 
appears next 
to a waypoint  in the list of 
waypoints used in a route, 
then  that  waypoint has 
changed since it was added 
to a route. For example, if 
you use waypoint  number 
one in a route and later change  the waypoint's  location, then the 
GlobalMap 1000 will place an asterisk next to the waypoint's number in 
the route list. This alerts you to any change made to any waypoint used 
in a route, including name, symbol, and position.

PRESET 
The preset feature returns all of the GlobalMap's settings to their original 
factorysettings. This resetsthe units of measure, speakervolume, display 
contrast,  and more. However, this doesn't erase any event markers, 
waypoints or routes. 
To preset the unit, press the MENU key two times. The screen  shown 
above appears.  Now press the key next to the °PresetUnit to Factory 
Settings" label. A message appears, warning you that this will preset the 
unit. Press the ENT to preset the unit or the CLR key to exit without 
presetting. If you press the ENT key, the menu screen disappears and the 
GlobalMap 1000 returns to the mapping screen. All units will be returned 
to their factory settings. 
SIMULATOR 
The GlobalMap 1000 has a simulator feature that shows your present 
position travelling  a preset course from Miami,  Florida. All navigation 
features of the unit operate, also. A recurring message appears alerting 
you that the simulator  mode is enabled. DON'T USE THIS UNIT FOR 
NAVIGATION WHEN THE SIMULATOR IS OPERATING! 
POWER CONNECTIONS 
The GlobalMap 1000 worksfrom atwelve-volt batterysystem. Forthe best 
results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the 
power cable to an accessory or power buss,  however you may have 
problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it's saferto go ahead and 
attach the powercable directlyto the battery. If the cable istoo short, splice 
#18 gauge wire onto it. The power cable has four wires; red, black, green, 
and white. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground.  Make 
certain to attach the in-line fuse holderto the red lead as closeto the power 
source as possible. For example, if you have to extend the power cable to 
the battery or power buss, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the 
battery or power buss. This will protect both the unit and the power cable 
in the event of a short. The GlobalMap 1000 uses a 3-amp fuse. 
Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable! 
Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty.

DATA INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS 
In order for the GlobalMap 1000 to show position information, it requires 
navigation data from either a Loran-C, Decca, or GPS receiver than can 
send the data in NMEA 0183 version 1.5 or 2.0 format. If the NMEA input 
is not used, then the Lowrance LGC-1 GPS receiver can be used. 
The wiring connections for the NMEA 0183 version 1.5 are different than 
the ones used forthe NMEA 0183 version 2.0. If you are using version 1.5, 
then use the green and black wires on the GlobalMap's powercable. If you 
are using version 2.0, then you'll be using the four shielded wires on the 
GlobalMap's power cable. 
If you're using the Lowrance LGC-1 GPS module, simply plug its cable 
directly into the in-line connector on the GlobalMap's power cable. This 
sends navigation data directly to the GlobalMap without using any NMEA 
input. You can, if desired, use either NMEA output to drive another device 
while using the LGC-1 as an input. The GlobalMap 1000 also has the 
provision fora DGPS beacon receiverforuse with the LGC-1 GPS module.

indicates what the possible er- 
ror is. This feature should al- 
ways be reset to zero (0) when 
finished with that chart. 
For example, suppose you are 
stopped  at a location that is 
accurately marked on a chart. 
Your unit shows a longitude 
position  that is .010 degrees 
less than the one on the chart. 
Using the Position Correction 
Factor (PCF) Offset feature, you makethe unit read the same as the chart. 
If you move, the unit will continuously add the change to all position 
displays. This makes it more closely match the datum used by the chart. 
For this reason, you should be careful when entering the PCF offset. This 
offset is saved in memory. It doesn't change when the unit is turned off. 
However, a Preset does erase the PCF factor. 
To set the PCF factor, first press the MENU key two times, then press the 
key next to the "Datum Translations  label. Finally, press the key next to 
the "PCF" label at the bottom of the display.  The screen shown above 
appears. 
Nowenterthe correction foryour location. Remember, this isthe difference 
between  the location  shown  on the present position display  and the 
position  shown  on the chart.  In this example,  we have entered 0 de- 
grees,.012  minutes north latitude and 0 degrees,  .068  minutes  east 
longitude as the PCF offset. That is the difference between the present 
position shown on the unit and our position shown by the chart. In other 
words, our position shown on the unit is 0.012 minutes south and 0.068 
minutes wt of the position shown on the chart. 
After you've entered the desired offset, press the key next to the "PCF 
Mode ON OFF" label. Thisturns the FCFcorrection factorthatyou entered 
on. To leave this screen, press the CLR key. This also puts your changes 
into effect. 
To turn these changes off, return to this screen and press the key next to 
the "PCF Mode ON OFF" label. Remember, presetting the unit also erases 
any PCF offset, thereby turning it off.
