We've done a heap of those units down here, and the easiest way is to pick up ignition power and earth from the back of the instrument panel. The hourmeter is easiest if you have one fitted - it will...

G'Day Guys,

Chris,

The black connector on the back of a GlobalMap unit is for the SAM (sonar access module) and has nothing to do with the antenna. The Map2000 unit should have the following connections at...

GlobalMap 2000 connectors

We here in Oz have the same problem you guys do in the UK - by the time the local importer adds their percentage, it can be cheaper to purchase in the US. An antenna here retails for about $A550!!...
