INSTALLATION
The GlobalMap 12 operates from six AA batteries or from 6 to 35 volts
DC. The cigarette lighter adapter included with your unit plugs into virtu-
ally any vehicle’s electrical system. The GlobalMap 12 automatically
switches to external power when it’s plugged into the unit (provided that
the external power is a higher voltage than the batteries.) If, for any rea-
son, the external power fails, the unit will automatically switch to the bat-
teries. The GlobalMap 12 does not require batteries when external power
is in use, however they make a good backup in case of power failure. An
optional rechargeable battery pack, (model RBP-L) has a nickle-metal
hydride battery and charger built into a pack that’s almost identical to the
alkaline battery pack that slides onto the bottom of the GlobalMap 12.
An external antenna kit is also available (model PA-2) that allows the re-
movable antenna to be mounted on a suction cup bracket up to four feet
away from the GPS receiver.
tions. The GlobalMap 12 takes these corrections and applies them to the
position and altitude screens, giving you much better accuracy. Even with
S/A on, and without a DGPS receiver, your GlobalMap 12 gives you out-
standing position and navigation information.
Please sit down with the unit and this manual and familiarize yourself with
them before using this unit in the “real world”. A simulator is built in, which
lets you practice with the receiver.
