1 INTRODUCTION Thank you f or purchasing an Lowr ance ® GlobalMap 12™.

4 ANTENNA Y our GlobalMap 12 has a remov able antenna that f olds over the displa y when the unit is not in use. This pre v ents damage to the displa y . T o open the antenna, simply lift on an edge and raise it to the desired position. The antenna is a quic k release design, simplifying its removal and installation.
5 MAP CARTRIDGE INST ALLA TION The GlobalMap 12 uses IMS Smar tMap™ and WorldMap™, C-Map™, and Na vionics™ car tr idges , all of which are packaged in a car tridge hous- ing specifically designed f or Lowr ance mapping products. The IMS Smar tMap™ car tr idges contain digitized data of ov er 120,000 bodies of water .
