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.

How Lowrance GPS Works 
You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap 
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 11. If you're new to GPS, read on, and 
you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowledge. 
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 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 uses an external antenna/receiver 
module, which makes the whole system work something like your car 
radio. But instead of your favorite dance tunes, this receiver 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 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.
