Lowrance electronic LCX-15CT, LCX-15CI manual

(Note: Maps must be downloaded from a MapCreate™ CD-ROM onto a MMC. The MMC must be installed into the unit before maps will show on the screen. If your unit came with a MMC, MMC Interface, and CD-ROM, then follow the instructions in the separate booklet. If these items were not included with your unit, then you will need to purchase the accessory pack that includes these items.)

The maps on the CD have the majority of their detail in far southern Canada, the continental United States and Hawaiian islands, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, and Bermuda.

The map screens show your course and track from a “bird’s-eye” view. If you’re navigating to a waypoint, the map shows your starting location, present position, course line, and destination. You don’t have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the map.

Using the map is as simple as pressing the PAGES key, then “Full Map”. A screen similar to the one at right appears. The arrow flashing in the center of the screen is your present position. It points in the direction you’re travelling. The solid line extend- ing from the arrow is your plot trail, or path you’ve taken. The plotter’s range shows in the lower right corner of the screen. In this

example, the plotter’s range is 4,000 miles from the left edge of the map to the right.

To view the other map screens, press the PAGES key, highlight the MAP label, and press the down arrow key until the desired map screen ap- pears. Press the EXIT key to

erase the menu. The “Digital Data” screen has navigation data added to the left side, with the map on the right. The data in- cludes ground speed, closing speed, distance to waypoint, dis- tance off course (cross-track), track, bearing, course, and travel time.
