Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest 12-channel GPS receivers Eagle has ever made. With its large LCD screen, easy to use menus, and outstanding performance, we think youll be happy with your Eagle View for many years. GPS works from satellites that transmit information to the world at very high frequencies. One disadvantage to this frequency is that its line-ofsight. In other words, the signals dont bounce around like your local radio or television. If you dont have a clear view of the sky, or if youre inside a metal boat dock or garage, the unit probably wont be able to pick up the signals from the satellites. This is common among all GPS receivers. Like most GPS receivers, your Eagle View doesnt have a compass or any other navigation aid built into it. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to determine its position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order for it to determine the direction youre travelling, you must be moving, and the faster - the better. This is not to say the unit wont work at walking speeds - it will. But the faster you travel, the easier it is for the unit to determine your direction. Another factor that influences the GPS position and navigation capabilities is called selective availability or S/A. This is small errors purposefully injected into the transmitted signal from the satellites. The government does this to degrade the systems accuracy to civilian and foreign users. Even with S/A, GPS is the most accurate navigation system ever invented on such a large scale. The Governments accuracy specification is 100 meters horizontally and 150 meters vertically 95% of the time. In other words, the position shown on your Eagle View could be up to 100 meters in any direction from your actual position, and the altitude could be plus or minus 150 meters from whats shown on the screen, 95% of the time. There are two ways around the S/A problem. One is to have the government simply turn it off. In fact, there is growing pressure on them to do that, but its not likely to happen anytime soon. The other method is to purchase a DGPS receiver and connect it to your Eagle View. A DGPS receiver (commonly called a beacon receiver), picks up correction signals broadcast from ground stations. The Eagle View takes these corrections and applies them to the position and altitude screens, giving you much better accuracy. Even with S/A on, and without a DGPS receiver, your Eagle View gives

you outstanding position and navigation information. Most people are amazed when they actually use a GPS receiver and see what it does. Please sit down with the unit and this manual and familiarize yourself with them before using the Eagle View in the real world. A simulator is built in, which lets you practice.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION - Bracket You can install the Eagle View on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional IDA-3 mounting kit. A swivel bracket is included that converts the Eagle View's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount. You can mount the Eagle View in any convenient location, provided there is clearance when its tilted for the best viewing angle. Bracket Installation - No Swivel Holes in the brackets base allow wood screw or through bolt mounting. It may be necessary to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin panels to reinforce the panel. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and antenna cables. Drill a hole in the dash for the power and antenna cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket. This way, the bracket covers the hole. The smallest hole the power and antenna cable connector can pass through is 3/4". Route the cables to the unit by passing them through the hole from under the dash. Slide the bracket over the hole, then route the cables out the slot in the back of the bracket. Finally, fasten the bracket to the dash. Bracket Installation - With Swivel 1. Place the swivel bracket on the dash or console in the desired mounting location. Make certain there is enough room for the unit to rotate. Using the swivel brackets base as a template, mark the four mounting holes for drilling. Remove the bracket and drill the holes in the mounting surface for the #10 mounting screws. 2. Install the large locknut into the bottom of the swivel bracket. Place the swivel bracket onto the mounting surface and attach it using the four supplied #10 screws. 3. Pass the large screw through the gimbal bracket and the swivel bracket. Thread it into the large locknut and tighten it. Don't tighten it too tight, or the gimbal bracket won't swivel.
Attach the Eagle View to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs and washers as shown below.

POWER The Eagle View will operate from a 12-volt DC system. (9 to 15 volts DC.) You can connect the power cable to an accessory buss under the dash, however, to keep electrical noise interference to a minimum, we recommend you wire the power cable directly to the battery through the supplied 2-amp fuse. CAUTION! Do not connect this product to a power source without using a fuse! Failure to use the fuse can cause damage to your unit and will void the warranty. Follow the wiring diagram below. If the wires on the power cable are not long enough to reach the battery, use 18 gauge wire to lengthen the power cable. The power cables green wire is used to receive data from a DGPS receiver. The white wire is used to transmit data to a DGPS receiver or other electronic equipment. If you are not connecting the Eagle View to another device, tape the ends of these wires and secure them where they will not short to one another. See the NMEA/DGPS section in this manual for more information. (Note: If your power cable has six wires, tape and secure the extra wires, also. They are not used on this product.)

POLE MOUNT 6

KEYBOARD The keyboard has twelve keys. The arrow keys are tied to most of the features, letting you easily move the plotters cursor, navigate through the menus, make selections from menus, and other tasks.
The WPT key lets you create, save, and recall waypoints and routes. The MODE key switches the unit between the three major displays: windows, navigation, and plotter. To select different features, or to modify functions, press the MENU key. The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in and zoom-out your view on the plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys let you enter or erase selections. The PWR key turns the Eagle View on and off. Note: To prevent an accidental power shutdown, you must hold the PWR key down for a few seconds in order to turn the unit off.

OPERATION

Turning Power On To turn the Eagle View on, simply press the PWR key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Read the message on the screen, then press the EXIT key to erase it. The Eagle View is now ready for use.
MENUS Most of the Eagle Views adjustments and features are found on menus. Pressing the MENU key lets you view the menus. Different menus items are added to the basic list, depending on which mode (plotter, navigation, or windows) the unit is in. This gives you the features that are specific to the mode you are in, but also has items that are used on all modes. Using the arrow keys moves the black box to highlight different menus on the list. Pressing the right arrow key selects the menu. To erase a menu, press the EXIT key.

Finding Your Position

Cold Start When the Eagle View is turned on for the very first time, it doesnt know where it is, nor what the local time or date is. If you tell it your position, time, and date, the unit will take much less time to lock-on to the satellites and give you a fix or position. However, if you dont want to push buttons at this time, thats fine. The Eagle View will lock onto the satellites and give you a position without any input from you. This is called a cold-start. It simply means that the unit is searching without help for the satellites that are in orbit. A cold-start can take up to 2 minutes to acquire enough satellite data to determine your position, although it typically takes less time than that.
Once the Eagle View locks on to the satellites and finds your position, it stores the satellite data in its memory. The next time you use the unit, it should take much less time to lock on. To use your Eagle View, first make certain you have a clear view of the sky, free from any obstructions such as trees, carport, or a covered boat dock. Press the PWR key. Read the message on the screen, then press the EXIT key to erase the message. A screen similar to the one at right appears. This is windows group A. Your track (TRK), or direction of travel is shown in the upper right corner of this screen. Bearing to a waypoint (BRG), Course over ground (CRS), and cross track error (XTK) are all shown on this screen. You must recall a waypoint to use the bearing, course, and cross track error windows. As you wait for the Eagle View to find your position, youll see numbers flashing on the display. Anytime you see flashing numbers, it means the Eagle View does not have a position! Do not rely on any data that is flashing! When the numbers stop flashing, the unit has locked on to the satellites and the position is good. Thats all you have to do to find your position. All time displays may not be correct when the cold start method is used. See the initialization section for details on changing the time.

Initialization A cold-start as described above can take up to 15 minutes to find your position. A faster method is to initialize the Eagle View manually. To do this, first press the PWR key. Next, read the messages on the screen and press the EXIT key to erase them. Now press the MENU key. Press the up or down arrow keys until the GPS SETUP menu is highlighted as shown at right. Now press the right
arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Using the down arrow key, highlight the Initialize GPS Receiver menu, then press the right arrow key. The screen shown below appears.
This is the GPS initialization screen. The position, altitude, time, and date the Eagle View is currently using to find the satellites is shown at the bottom of this screen. Changing these values to your local position and time will speed the position lock.
To change the position, press the right arrow key while the EDIT LAT/LON box is highlighted. The screen shown at right appears. If your latitude is south, press the up or down arrow key to change it. If it is north, press the right arrow key to move the change box to the first number in the latitude. Now press the up arrow key to increase the number or the down arrow key to decrease it. Once the first number in the latitude is set, press the right arrow key once to move to the next number in the latitude. Keep pressing the arrow keys until the latitude and longitude are set to your local position. (Note: This position does not have to be very accurate. If you can get it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.) When its set, press the ENT key. The Eagle View accepts your entry and returns to the GPS setup menu.
Now change the local time and date if theyre incorrect on this screen. (Dont worry about altitude.) When everything is acceptable, press the EXIT key repeatedly to return to a mode screen. The Eagle View will instantly use the data you entered to find the satellites in the sky. (The unit knows which satellites will be available at the position, date, and time you entered. Therefore, it will only look for those satellites, making the search time much shorter than a cold start which looks for all of the satellites until it finds three.) Once the Eagle View finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops flashing the numbers on the display. (Note: Altitude will still flash until the unit locks on to the fourth satellite. It takes four satellites to determine altitude.)

IMPORTANT! If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen is flashing, it means that data is invalid. DO NOT RELY ON ANY NUMBERS THAT ARE FLASHING! Usually, this happens when the Eagle View has lost its lock on the satellites. The data that is flashing was the last known when the unit lost its navigational capability.
DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE DATA STOPS FLASHING! POSITION/NAVIGATION DISPLAYS The Eagle View has navigation, plotter, and windows group modes. These screens were designed to show data that is used most often. The three default displays are shown on the next page. To change displays, simply press the MODE key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Now press the up or down arrow keys to change modes. (The windows display is shown

PLOT-1

GROUP A
as "GRP" (groups). For example, Group A is the first windows group on the MODE menu.) Press the right arrow key to see more screens on each mode. When the desired screen appears, press the EXIT key to clear the menu. Note: For a list of abbreviations used on the displays, see the back of this manual. Navigation Screens There are two navigation screens. Nav screen number one shows a graphical view of your trip, the other screen shows all navigation details in large digital numbers. You can customize the navigation screens to show different data than the ones chosen by Eagle. See the Customize Screen section for more details. Nav Screen #1 This screen is dominated by a compass rose (See the screen at the top of the next page.) Your position is in the center of the circle, designated by an arrow that always points straight up. Your track (direction of travel) is indicated by an arrow pointing down toward the compass rose at the top center of the screen. Your track in digital numbers is also shown to the right of the arrow. On the screen at the top of the next page, the track is
348. The line extending behind the arrow in the center shows your track history, or path youve travelled. Your speed over ground or Ground Speed (GS) shows in the digital box to the right of the circle. The screen looks like this when youre not navigating to a waypoint. (See page 35 for information on waypoint navigation.) If you navigate to a waypoint, the screen looks like the one below. The bearing to the destination waypoint is shown in the upper left corner of the screen. Bearing is also shown by the large arrow pointing up to the compass. The lines on either side of the present position arrow show the cross track error range. In other words, (using the screen above as an example) if the arrow crosses the line on either side, you are.10 miles to the left or right of the desired course. A circle depicting your destination appears on the screen as you approach the waypoint. The digital boxes on the screens right side show (from top to bottom) your distance to go to the destination (DIS), ground speed (GS), estimated time en route (ETE), and course (CRS). Course (CRS) is the bearing from your starting location to your destination. (Remember, course has nothing to do with your present position, except for your starting location.) Its shown as a dotted line on the NAV 1 display. This is shown as a reminder so that if you deviate from your original course, you can easily return to it. (A course is a proposed path over the ground. A track is your actual path over ground.)

Finishing the Route When youve selected all of the waypoints for the route, simply press the EXIT key until you return to the navigation, plotter, or windows screen. Your route is saved in memory. Delete a Waypoint To delete a waypoint from a route, first select the route from the Route Planning or Run Route menus, then highlight the waypoint that you want to remove from the routes list. Now press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Highlight the Delete label on this menu and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the route list with the waypoint removed from the list. (Note: This doesnt delete the waypoint from the database, it only removes it from the route.) Waypoint Detail To view the position, bearing, distance, and other information about a waypoint saved in a route, first select the route from the Route Planning or Run Route menus, then highlight the desired waypoint from the routes list. Now press the right arrow key. The screen shown above appears. Move the black box to the Detail label and press the right arrow key. The screen at right appears. This screen shows the waypoints name, number creation time and date, icon, position, distance, and bearing from your present position. When youre finished viewing this information, press the EXIT key to erase it.
Following a Route To follow a route, first recall it by pressing the MENU key, highlighting the ROUTES label, pressing the right arrow key, then highlighting the RUN ROUTE label and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.
The black box is on the Route # 1 label. If this isnt the route you want to use, press the right or left arrow keys to switch to another one. Before starting the route, youll need to decide if you want to start at the beginning and travel forward or start at the last waypoint in the route and travel backwards (reverse) to the first waypoint. The default is forward. Next, highlight the Start Route label and press the right arrow key. The screen shown below appears. Once you determine which direction in the route you want to go, youll need to determine the first waypoint in the list you want to start the route. Usually, its the first waypoint, however the Eagle View gives you several options. The default starting waypoint is the first one in the list. However, by pressing the right arrow key, the word AUTO appears in the Select First WPT list. This starts the route with the waypoint thats closest to your present position. You can start at any waypoint in the route. As you change the number, the selected starting waypoint is highlighted on the list. If you want to see details about the highlighted waypoint, press the WPT key. When you have everything on this screen set as desired, press the ENT key to start the Eagle View navigating to the first waypoint on the route. As you travel to the first waypoint, the unit shows navigation data to the waypoint. If you use the plotter, as shown at right, the unit draws a dotted line from your starting position (shown by the S), and a dashed line from the first waypoint to each of the other waypoints in the route. When you enter the radius set by the arrival alarm, the Eagle View automatically switches to the next waypoint on the list, showing navigation data to that waypoint, and so on until the last waypoint on the route list has been reached. (Note: The arrival alarm does not have to be turned on in order to use the route feature.)

Skip Waypoint The Eagle View lets you skip a waypoint in a route without stopping the route. To do this, first press the MENU key, then highlight the Routes menu and press the right arrow key, then highlight the Skip WPT label and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the navigation, plotter, or windows screen with navigation data showing to the next waypoint on the list. Delete a Route To erase a route, first press the MENU key, then highlight the Routes menu and press the right arrow key, highlight the Plan Route label and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Now select the route you want to erase by pressing the right or left arrow keys. When the desired route number appears, then highlight the Delete Route label and press the right arrow key. A message appears, asking if you really want to erase the route. If you press the right arrow key, the route will be erased.

NAVIGATION

Navigate To a Waypoint The Eagle View makes it easy to navigate to any waypoint. First, press the WPT key, then press the right or left arrow keys until the desired waypoint appears. Now highlight the Go To WPT# label and press the right arrow key. The unit immediately returns to the navigation, plotter, or windows screen and shows navigation information to the selected location. In this example, we recalled waypoint number 2. Switching to a plotter screen (shown at the top of the next page) shows our starting location S, the recalled waypoint 2, and our present position.
Navigating to a cursor location The Eagle View lets you navigation to a location without storing it in the waypoint database by using the plotter and cursor. To do this, first switch to the plotter screen. Now move the cursor to the location that you want to navigate to. Next, press the MENU key. A new menu appears on the list: Go To Cursor. Press the right arrow key. The Eagle View shows nav data to the cursor location (shown as D on the plotter). See the screen at the top of the next page.
Navigating to a Waypoint using the Plotter The unique birds-eye view used by the plotter gives you an easy way to navigate to a waypoint. On the screen shown at right, the diamond with a cross in it is your present position. The box with the S in it was your starting location when you recalled the waypoint. The dotted line is called a track line and is the shortest path from the starting location to the destination. The D is the cursor destination, the number with a box around it is the waypoint. If you follow the track line, youll reach the destination, covering the shortest distance in the least time.

Position Format To change the position format, highlight the Position Format label on the Units of Measure menu, (shown above) then press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. The Eagle View can show the position in degrees, minutes, and thousandths of a minute (36 28.700') or degrees, minutes, seconds, and tenths of a second (36 28' 40.9". It can also show position in UTMs (Universal Transverse Mercator) projection, British, Irish, and Military Grid systems. UTMs are marked on USGS topographic charts. This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each approximately 6 degrees wide in longitude. Their unit of measure is in meters. For example, 30 N means that the position shown to the left of the N is in grid 30, and its north of the equator.
British and Irish grid systems are the national coordinate system used only in their respective countries. Note: In order to use either the British or Irish grid systems, you must be in the U.K.
The Eagle View can use the military grid reference system (MGRS). It uses two grid lettering schemes, which are referred to as standard and alternate MGRS on the View. Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. In general, if the datum youre using is valid for your present position, then use the standard MGRS, otherwise use the alternate MGRS. Press the up or down arrow keys to highlight the desired position format. Press the EXIT key to both select the format and erase the position format menu.
NMEA / DGPS The Eagle View transmits data through the data port in the back of the unit using NMEA 0183 format, version 1.5 or 2.0. This data is used by other electronic devices such as marine autopilots for position and steering information. DGPS on the other hand, is a data input. DGPS is an acronym for Differential Global Positioning System. Currently, it relies on a system of groundbased transmitters that send correction signals to small DGPS receivers. DGPS gives you more accurate positions than is otherwise possible.
All wiring connections to the Eagle View are made to its power cable. See the sample wiring diagrams on the next page for general wiring procedures. Read your other products owners manual for more wiring information. Once the cables are wired, turn the Eagle View on, press the menu key, and select NMEA / DGPS from the System Setup menu. A screen similar to the one at right appears. NMEA OUTPUT To turn the NMEA output on, highlight the NMEA OUTPUT menu, then press the right arrow key. If your other equipment works, then no setup will need to be performed. If your other equipment doesnt recognize the NMEA data being sent by the Eagle View and the wiring is correct, then you may need to change the NMEA or the serial communication settings. Configure NMEA Output Highlight the Configure NMEA Output menu, then press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. NMEA 0183 Version There are two versions of the NMEA data, 1.5 and 2.0. If your other equipment requires 2.0, press the right arrow key to select it. RMC/RMB, GLL, APB, GGA, GSA/GSV Sentences Some equipment requires different sentence. The Eagle Views default setting for these sentences is on. In other words, it automatically sends these sentences when NMEA is turned on. To turn any of these off, move the black box to the desired menu and press the left arrow key. Press the EXIT key when everything on this screen is the way you want it. DGPS The Eagle View will recognize Starlink and Magnavox automatic DGPS receivers. If you have either one of these receivers, simply highlight the Starlink DGPS or Magnavox DGPS on the NMEA / DGPS menu and press the right arrow key to turn it on. (Note: If you have a Magnavox DGPS receiver connected, the Eagle View cant send NMEA data.) With

DGPS RECEIVER
the exception of serial communications, typically no other setup needs to be made with these receivers. If you have any other Magnavox or Starlink compatible DGPS receiver connected to the Eagle View, you may need to change the settings. To do this, move the black box to the Configure DGPS Beacon Receiver label and press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. These menus select the beacon receivers frequency and bit rate (in bits per second). If you are using a Starlink receiver, turning the auto mode on causes the Eagle View to auto-detect the frequency and bit rate. To change one of these settings, simply highlight the menu item you wish to change, then press the right or left arrow key until the desired number appears. Press the EXIT key when youre finished. SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS SETUP To set the data port, move the black box to the Setup Com on the System Setup menu. Press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Check your DGPS receivers manual for the proper data settings. Highlight the menu item you need to change. Press the left or right arrow keys to change them. The serial port defaults are 4800 baud, no parity, and 8 data bits. Press the EXIT key to erase this menu. RESET OPTIONS To return the Eagle View to its original factory settings, highlight the Preset Options menu on the System Setup screen. Now press the right arrow key. A message appears, asking if you want to restore the original options. Press the right arrow key if you do, the left arrow key to quit.
If you restore the unit to the factory settings, all options such as contrast, alarms, and other system choices are returned to their default values. However, no waypoints, routes, or icons are erased. RESET GROUPS To return all groups to their factory defaults, highlight the RESET GROUPS label on the System Setup menu. Finally, press the right arrow key. All digital boxes on the navigation plotter screens are reset to their factory settings. SYSTEM INFO The system information screen shows the release date and the version number of the code stored inside the Eagle View. To view this screen, highlight the System Info label on the System Setup menu. Now press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Press the EXIT key when youre finished reading this screen. GPS SETUP The GPS Setup menu has sub-menus that affect the GPS receiver. From these menus you can turn the simulator on or off, set the update rate, initialize the GPS receiver, do a self-test on the receiver, and do a cold-start. (Note: The Initialize GPS receiver is covered in the Finding Your Position section in the front of this manual. To view these menu items, press the MENU key, then highlight the GPS Setup menu. Press the right arrow key. The screen shown above appears. Execute GPS Cold Start When the Eagle View is turned on for the first time out of the box, it automatically sends a cold-start message to the GPS receiver. You can also send a cold start message to the receiver at any time. If the unit cant lock on to the satellites using the data youve given it, or if it has trouble finding the satellites, perhaps it is using the wrong data. This can happen if youve entered the wrong data by accident when initializing

the receiver. For example, if you entered east longitude instead of west. Or if youve moved a long distance with the unit turned off. To send a cold start message to the receiver, highlight the Execute GPS Cold Start label, then press the right arrow key. A message appears, asking you if you really want to do a cold start. Follow the instructions on this message page. The unit will begin searching for the satellites. It can take as long as 5 minutes for it to lock on to the necessary satellites. Remember, when it does, your local time and possibly date can be wrong. Use the method shown in the initialization section at the front of this manual to change them, if needed. Once this is done, an internal clock will keep the correct time, even when the unit is turned off. The GPS system updates this clock when the unit is locked on to the satellites. DATUM Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area thats covered by the map or chart. These surveys are called Datums. Maps that are created using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly different locations. All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire world, or just a small portion. By default, the Eagle View shows your position on the map using the WGS-84 datum. However, it can show your position using one of 189 different datums. To change the datum, first press the MENU key, then highlight the GPS Setup label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the Select Datum label. Finally, press the right arrow key again. A screen similar to the one at right appears. The WGS-84 label is highlighted. To change it, simply press the up or down arrow keys to highlight the desired datum, then press the ENT key. This selects the datum and erases the select datum menu.
PCF (Position Correction Factor) Another method used to make your display match a chart or map is called PCF or Position Correction Factor. This unit gives you the capability to move or offset the position shown on the display to match one on the chart. The unit will add this offset to all position and navigation displays at all times. Remember, the position error on any radio navigation system is very dynamic and the PCF offset should never be used in an attempt to cancel the error. In general terms, PCF should only be used if your map indicates what the possible error is. PCF should always be reset to zero when youre finished with the chart. For example, suppose you are stopped at a location that is accurately marked on a chart. Your unit shows a longitude position that is.244 minutes east of the one on the chart and.047 minutes north latitude. Using the PCF feature, you can make the Eagle View match the chart youre using. If you move, the unit will continuously add the change to all position, navigation, and mapping displays. This makes it more closely match the datum used by the chart. For this reason, you should be careful when entering the PCF offset. Its saved in memory and doesnt change when the unit is turned off. However, resetting the unit does erase the PCF offset. To change the PCF offset, first press the MENU key, then highlight the GPS Setup label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the Set PCF Offset label. Finally, press the right arrow key again. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Now enter the correction for your location. Remember, this is the difference between the location shown on the present position display and the position shown on the chart. In this example, we entered 0 degrees, 0.047 minutes north latitude and 0 degrees, 0.244 minutes east longitude. That is the difference between the present position shown by the Eagle View and the one on our chart.

After youve entered the latitude/longitude correction, press the ENT key to accept it. The Eagle View erases the PCF entry screen and returns to the navigation or mapping screens with the correction factor applied. POSITION PINING When using a GPS receiver at extremely low speeds, it can have trouble determining your course over ground, or direction youre travelling. This is due in large part to SA, or selective availability. SA is small inaccuracies purposefully put into the GPS satellites signal by the government. This cause wide variations in the track display and other navigation displays when using the unit at slow speeds. If youre using the Eagle View without DGPS and stop, the position pinning feature locks the present position indicator on the plotter until youve moved a short distance or exceed a very slow speed. This prevents the wandering plot trail seen when youre stopped with position pinning turned off. This also affects the navigational displays. The easiest way to see the effects of S/A is to stand still with the Eagle View turned on and watch your plot trail with position pinning turned off. Youll see the present position change, speed increase and decrease, and a random plot trail on the plotters screen. To turn the position pining feature off, press the MENU key, then highlight the GPS Setup label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the Pos Pinning label. Finally, press the left arrow key. ALARMS The Eagle View has several alarms. You can set an arrival alarm to sound a warning tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to.1 mile, then the alarm will sound when you come within.1 mile of the recalled waypoint. The course deviation indicator alarm (CDI) can sound a warning when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the line to the waypoint. For example, if the alarm is set to.1 mile, then the alarm will sound if you drift.1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint. The anchor alarm sounds a warning when you drift outside of a preset radius. Again, using the.1 mile as an example, if youre anchored and your boat moves more than.1 of a mile, the alarm will sound.
To use any of these alarms, first press the MENU key, then select the ALARMS/CDI menu. A screen similar to the one shown at right appears. Press the up or down arrow key to move the black box to the desired alarm, then press the right arrow key to turn it on. To adjust an alarms distance, move the black box to the alarms DIST menu item, then press the right or left arrow keys to increase or decrease the alarms distance. When youre finished adjusting the alarms, press the EXIT key to erase this menu. Important Alarm Notes: Anchor Alarm - Since civilian users dont receive the accuracy given to military users, the anchor alarm may sound even when youre sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than.05 mile) anchor alarm ranges. If you have a DGPS beacon receiver connected to the Eagle View, smaller ranges may be usable. Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarms distance to zero (0), and you run a route (see the routes section), the Eagle View may not show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first one. If you use the routes feature, never set the arrival alarm to zero. MESSAGES On the GPS Alarms menu are the position and DGPS message selections. When turned on, the position message appears for a few seconds whenever the Eagle View locks onto the satellites and shows a position. It also appears when the unit loses the lock onto the satellites and cannot navigate. Pressing the EXIT key erases these messages. The DGPS message appears whenever the unit begins or stops using DGPS data to help determine your position. The default setting for these messages is on. To turn either message off, select the GPS Alarms menu from the main menu, then move the black box to the desired message and press the left arrow key. Press the EXIT key to erase this screen. BACKLIGHT The AirMaps display and keyboard have lights that can be turned on for night use. To turn the lights on, simply press the PWR key. To turn them off, press the PWR key again.
