After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex-
perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap 5300c's
many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Ad-
vanced GPS Operations.
When you come to a GPS menu command on the GlobalMap 5300c's
screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of con-
tents, 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 GlobalMap 5300c's
most remarkable 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 sec-
tion in the manual! For example, did you know this unit can look up
business phone numbers, functioning as a virtual Yellow Pages? We’ll
show you how in Section 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 5300c con-
tains.
