Lowrance electronic 540c Baja - Manual (Page 10)

2
After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex-
perience), you may want to try out some of your unit’s many advanced
navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Opera-
tions.
When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap's screen, you
can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, just
flipping through Section 3 or scanning through the command portion of
Section 4.
This unit is ready to use right out of the box, but you can fine tune and
customize its operation with dozens of options. We describe how to use
general system options along with GPS options in Section 5, System Setup
and GPS Setup Options.
In Section 6, we go into more detail on one of the unit's most remark-
able capabilities — Searching. We'll introduce a search example in the
Basic GPS Operation section, but there are so many map items you can
search for, we had to give this function its own section in the manual!
For example, did you know this unit can look up business phone num-
bers, functioning as a virtual Yellow Pages? We’ll show you how in Sec-
tion 6.
Finally, in Section 7, we offer Supplemental Material, including a list of
the GPS datums used, warranties and customer service information.
Now, if you're into the fine details, glance over the next segment on speci-
fications to see just how much GPS power your GlobalMap 540c BAJA
contains. It's important to us (and our power users), but, if you don't care
how many watts of power the unit has, or how many waypoints it can
store, skip ahead to important information on how our GPS works, on
page 4.
