A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. Never use this product while operating a vehicle. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this 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 travelling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make certain a clear, safe path to the waypoint is always available. The operating and storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 to +75 degrees Celsius). Extended storage temperatures higher or lower than specified will cause the liquid crystal display to fail. Neither this type of failure nor its consequences are covered by the warranty.

Lowrance Electronics may find it necessary to change or end our policies, regulations, and special offers at any time. We reserve the right to do so without notice.

Using menu features and "soft-key" operation, it's easy to use and sets new standards in mapping versatility and performance. The built-in reference map (background map) includes almost the whole world. Over 70% of the map's detail is in the 48 contiguous states, Hawaii, and southern Canada. This unit also has the ability to read highly detailed maps of inland areas available on Lowrance IMS SmartMapTM cartridges or C-MAPTM mapping cartridges which cover most coastal areas around the world. (Both cartridges require the optional Lowrance MaplinkTM cartridge reader.) Position information can come from any Loran-C or GPS receiver via the industry-standard NMEA interface or directly from a Lowrance GPS module. DGPS capability is also included. Installing a SAM (Sonar Access Module) and Lowrance transducer, the GlobalMap 2000 turns into a dual purpose unit, including a full-featured sonar with chart displays and digital bottom depth indicators. The sonar can be used by itself or in the "split-screen" mode with both sonar and mapping information shown side-by-side. MOUNTING - Bracket Mount Install it in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it is tilted for the 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 interface cables. FRONT SLOT 2 PLUGS The smallest hole that will pass the power plug is one inch. After the hole is drilled, pass the other cables up through the hole first, 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 cables through the slot in the back of the bracket. There are two "knockout" plugs in the rear of the bracket that can be removed to route cables, if necessary. MOUNTING - In-Dash Mount The mapping unit can be installed in the dash with the supplied hardware if the dash is 1/2" thick or less. Measure the dash thickness in the area you need to mount the unit, since dash thickness can vary. If it's thicker than 1/2", you'll need the FM-2 in-dash mounting bracket accessory. Make certain there is clearance behind the dash for the unit and there is enough room to tighten the bolts on both sides. 7.625" DASH CUTOUT .400" radius (4 places) Once you've determined the location for the unit, cut the hole according to the drawing shown above. Measure carefully before cutting! After cutting the dash, slide the supplied gasket around the unit and place the unit in the hole. Supplied with this unit 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. Using the hardware supplied with the unit, attach the unit to the dash. Looking at the back of the unit, make certain that the cam clamp on the left side of the unit is pointing down and the cam 3 5.375" RUBBER PAD RUBBER PAD BOLT BOLT LOWRANCE CAM CLAMP (TURNED DOWN) CAM CLAMP (TURNED UP) clamp on the right side of the unit is pointing up before you start tightening the bolts. POWER CONNECTIONS This product works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the 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 safer to go ahead and attach the power cable directly to the battery. If the cable is too short, splice 18 gauge wire onto it. A silver label identifies the power supply portion of the cable. It 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 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 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. It requires a 3-amp fuse. IMPORTANT! 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 This mapping unit requires navigation data to show position information. This can come from either a Lowrance GPS module, Lowrance GPS receiver, or another manufacturer's navigation receiver that can send the data in NMEA 0183 version 1.5 or 2.0 format. If you use the Lowrance GPS module, the NMEA input is not used. If you use any other navigation receiver for position information, then the NMEA input will have to be used. It can also accept sonar information from any SAM sonar access module, which also doesn't require the NM ...
