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 vl 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 540c BAJA 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 fishe

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 2008 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 Its easily the most accurate metho
