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 out-  
standing performance, we think you’ll 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 it’s “line-of-  
sight”. In other words, the signals don’t bounce around like your local  
radio or television. If you don’t have a clear view of the sky, or if you’re  
inside a metal boat dock or garage, the unit probably won’t be able to pick  
up the signals from the satellites.This is common among all GPS receiv-  
ers.  
Like most GPS receivers, your Eagle View doesn’t 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 you’re travelling, you must be moving, and the  
faster - the better.This is not to say the unit won’t 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 capabili-  
ties 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 system’s 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 Government’s 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 what’s shown on the screen, 95% of the time.  
There are two ways around the S/A problem. One is to have the govern-  
ment simply turn it off. In fact, there is growing pressure on them to do  
that, but it’s 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 sig-  
nals broadcast from ground stations.The Eagle View takes these correc-  
tions 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 EagleView 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  
Viewinanyconvenientlocation,providedthereisclearancewhenit’stilted  
for the best viewing angle.  
Bracket Installation - No Swivel  
Holes in the bracket’s 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.

POWER  
The EagleView 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 recom-  
mend you wire the power cable directly to the battery through the sup-  
plied 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 cable’s green wire is used to receive data from a DGPS re-  
ceiver.The white wire is used to transmit data to a DGPS receiver or other  
electronic equipment.If you are not connecting the EagleView 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.)

ANTENNA  
The Eagle View’s antenna can be mounted on any flat surface, provided  
you have access behind the surface for the mounting screws.A magnet is  
also supplied that can be epoxied to the bottom of the antenna, allowing it  
to be used on off-road vehicles. A pole mount adapter lets you mount the  
antenna on a pole or swivel mount.  
ANTENNA INSTALLATION  
Surface Mount  
The Eagle View’s antenna can be easily installed on any flat surface that  
is at least 90 mm (3 1/2”) wide.Make certain that a clear view of the sky is  
available at the selected location. Since the GPS signals travel “line-of-  
sight”, nearly anything blocking the antenna can potentially obstruct the  
unit from finding a satellite.  
Once you’ve determined the mounting location, use the template on page  
51 in this manual to drill the holes for the screws. The screws, supplied  
with the Eagle View, are 4mm x 30mm. (about 1 1/8” long). Drill 4.75 mm  
(3/16”) holes for the mounting screws. If you route the cable through the  
mounting surface, you’ll need to drill a 25 mm (1”) hole for the cable.  
There is a notch in the antenna housing that allows the cable to pass  
through to the outside, instead of routing it through the mounting surface.

After drilling the holes, pass the o-ring over the antenna cable and press  
it into the groove on the bottom of the antenna housing. Now attach the  
antenna to the mounting surface, using 4mm screws and the supplied  
lock washers.Route the cable to the EagleView and the antenna installa-  
tion is finished.  
Magnet Mount  
A magnet lets you temporarily mount the antenna on any ferrous metal  
surface. (such as a car) To use the magnet, simply epoxy it to the bottom  
of the antenna, using the epoxy supplied with your Eagle View. Carefully  
follow the instructions on the epoxy package and apply it to the magnet.  
Then carefully press the magnet to the bottom of the antenna housing.  
After the epoxy cures (in about 30 minutes), the antenna is ready for use.  
MAGNET  
Pole Mount  
The Eagle View’s antenna attaches to the  
pole mount adapter with the supplied 4 mm  
screws. You can route the antenna cable  
through the slot in the side of the antenna,  
or pass it down through the pole mount  
adapter. A slot next to the threads in the  
pole mount adapter places the cable next  
to the pole where it can be easily routed  
down the pole to the Eagle View. The  
threads on the pole mount adapter accept  
a standard marine antenna mount.

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 EagleView is now ready for  
use.  
MENUS  
Most of the EagleView’s 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.  
FindingYour Position  
Cold Start  
When the Eagle View is turned on for the very first time, it doesn’t 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 don’t want to push buttons at this time, that’s fine. The  
EagleView 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 er-  
ror (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, you’ll see numbers flashing on the dis-  
play. 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.  
That’s 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.  
FindingYour Position  
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 mes-  
sages 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 ap-  
pears.  
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 po-  
sition lock.  
To change the position, press the right  
arrow key while the “EDIT LAT/LONbox  
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 lo-  
cal position.(Note:This position does not  
have to be very accurate. If you can get  
it within one degree of your actual posi-  
tion, that will be fine.)When it’s 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  
they’re incorrect on this screen. (Don’t  
worry about altitude.) When everything  
is acceptable, press the EXIT key repeat-  
edly to return to a mode screen. The  
EagleView 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 flash-  
ing 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 alti-  
tude.)  
IMPORTANT!  
If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen is flashing, it  
means that data is invalid.DO NOT RELY ON ANY NUMBERSTHAT  
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 EagleView 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, sim-  
ply press the MODE key. A screen simi-  
lar to the one at right appears.Now press  
the up or down arrow keys to change  
modes. (The windows display is shown

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 graphi-  
cal view of your trip, the other screen shows all navigation details in large  
digital numbers.You can customize the navigation screens to show differ-  
ent 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  
12

348°. The line extending behind the ar-  
row in the center shows your track his-  
tory, or path you’ve 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 you’re  
not navigating to a waypoint. (See page  
35 for information on waypoint naviga-  
tion.) 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 er-  
ror range. In other words, (using the  
screen above as an example) if the ar-  
row crosses the line on either side, you  
are .10 miles to the left or right of the  
desired course.  
A circle depicting your destination ap-  
pears on the screen as you approach the  
waypoint.  
The digital boxes on the screen’s right  
side show (from top to bottom) your dis-  
tance 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 destina-  
tion. (Remember, course has nothing to do with your present position,  
except for your starting location.) It’s shown as a dotted line on the NAV 1  
display.This is shown as a reminder so that if you deviate from your origi-  
nal course, you can easily return to it. (A “course” is a proposed path over  
the ground. A “track” is your actual path over ground.)

Nav Screen #2  
The navigation screen shows navigation  
information in large digital numbers. To  
view this screen, press the MODE key,  
then press the up arrow key until the  
black box surrounds the “NAV 1” label.  
Now press the right arrow key. A screen  
similar to the one at right appears.Press  
the EXIT key to erase the mode menu.  
This screen is composed of eight digital display boxes, showing your track  
(TRK), and ground speed (GS). The other boxes show navigation data  
when a waypoint is recalled, including bearing to the waypoint (BRG),  
course (CRS), Altitude (ALT), distance to waypoint (DIS), velocity made  
good (VMG), and cross track error (XTK).  
Plotter  
The plotter lets you see your course and track from a “birds-eye” view. If  
you’ve recalled a waypoint, the plotter show your staring location, present  
position, and destination. However, you don’t have to recall a waypoint to  
use the plotter.  
To use the plotter, simply press the  
MODE key, then press the up or down  
arrow keys until the “Plot” label is  
higlighted. Press the EXIT key to erase  
the mode menu. A screen similar to the  
one at right appears. This is plot-1. The  
diamond flashing in the center of the  
screen is your present position.The solid  
line extending from the diamond is your  
track, or path you’ve travelled. The  
plotter’s range is shown in the lower left corner of the screen. In this ex-  
ample, the plotter’s range is two miles from the left edge of the screen to  
the right.  
There are two different plotter screens  
available. Map screen number 1 shows  
by default.Your current position displays  
at the center of the screen by a cross  
surrounded by a flashing diamond.  
To view the other plotter screen, press  
the MODE key. Press the up or down ar-

row key to move the black box to the "PLOT" label. Now press the right  
arrow or left arrow key to select plot 2. This screen (as shown at the  
bottom of the previous page) has navigation data displayed on the right  
side of the screen in digital numbers.This data is active whenever you’ve  
recalled a waypoint. Press the EXIT key to erase the mode menu.  
This screen shows ground speed (GS), track (TRK), course (CRS), and  
cross track error (XTK).  
Use the Z-IN and Z-OUT keys to enlarge or reduce the plotter area.This  
changes the plotter’s range.The available ranges are: 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3,  
0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100,150,  
200, 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, and 4000 miles.  
Cursor  
Pressing an arrow key while the plotter  
is on shows two dotted lines that inter-  
sect at your present position.These dot-  
ted lines are called a “cursor” and have a  
variety of uses.  
You can move the cursor around the dis-  
play by pressing the arrow keys in the  
direction you want it to move. This lets  
you view different areas of the plotter,  
away from your present position. When  
it’s turned on, the zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from the cursor’s  
position - not the present position, so you can zoom in on any detail,  
anywhere while navigating. The latitude/longitude of the cursor shows in  
the box at the top of the plot-1 screen whenever the cursor is activated.  
The cursor is also used to place and erase icons and waypoints.  
Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor.  
PLOTTER OPTIONS  
The Eagle View lets you customize the

RecordTrail On / Off  
The line extending from the present po-  
sition diamond on the plotter is call the  
plot trail. As each dot on the trail is  
placed on the screen, it’s also saved in  
memory. The plot trail recording can be  
turned off, if desired.To turn it off, press

To erase the plot trail extending from your present position, highlight the  
“ClearPlot Trail” menu, then press the right arrow key. A message box  
appears, asking you if you really want to erase the plot trail. Follow the  
directions on this message box. The Eagle View returns to the plotter  
screen after the message box clears.  
Plotter Orientation  
Normally, the EagleView shows the plotter with north always at the top of  
the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on paper.  
This is fine if you’re always travelling due north. Waypoints you see to  
your left corresponds to the left side of the plotter, to your right is shown  
on the right side of the plotter, and so on.  
However, if you travel any other direction, the plotter doesn’t line up with  
your view of the world.  
To correct this problem, the Eagle View has a track-up mode that rotates  
the plotter as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen  
should always be to your left, and so on. It also has a course-up mode  
that keeps the plotter at the same orientation as your initial bearing to the  
waypoint.  
In the examples shown at right and on  
the next page, we're travelling southeast  
(about 210° magnetic). In the north-up  
view (at right), the present position indi-  
cator appears to move towards the lower  
left corner of the screen.The anchor icon  
shown on the left side of the screen is  
actually on our right. North is always at  
the top center of this screen.  
NORTH-UP MODE

In the track-up view at right, the present  
position moves straight towards the top  
of the display. As you can see, the an-  
chor icon is now shown in its proper ori-  
entation - to our right.A "N" shows to help  
you see which direction is north when the  
track-up mode is on. Remember, in the  
track-up mode, the screen rotates as you  
change direction. It always keeps your  
direction of travel (track) heading towards  
the top of the screen.  
TRACK-UP MODE  
In the course-up mode shown at right,  
the screen is locked into your original  
bearing to the recalled waypoint, regard-  
less of your track.  
To select the desired mode, highlight the  
“ORIENTATION” label on the “Plotter  
Optionsmenu, then press the left or right  
arrow keys until the desired mode ap-  
pears. Press the EXIT key to leave this menu  
COURSE-UP MODE  
Plotter Update  
The plotter places a dot on your trail as you move. It determines when to  
place a dot depending on either time or distance. By default, it places a  
dot every three seconds.  
To change the update method from time  
to distance, highlight the “Update By”  
label, then press the right arrow key.This  
moves the label from “TIME” to “DIST”.  
If you want to change the update time or  
distance, simply highlight the desired  
menu, then press the left or right arrow  
keys until the desired setting appears.

SpecialWindows  
Although most of the windows used in the Eagle View are self-explana-  
tory, there are several windows that have special features or can be used  
in unique ways. The following section describes these windows.  
Satellite Information Screen (Group A)  
This screen shows technical information about the status of the GPS re-  
ceiver.The receiver has twelve channels. Data for each channel is shown  
as bar graphs on the right side of the display. Every satellite in the con-  
stellation has a number assigned to it, called the PRN. The bar graph is  
above each satellite’s number.The higher the bar on the graph, the better  
the signal is being received from the satellite.  
Each satellite is also shown on the circular graph on the left side of the  
screen.This shows you not only which satellites are in your area, but also  
their direction from your position, and their elevation (distance above the  
horizon.) The small inner circle represents 45° above the horizon and the  
large outer circle represents the horizon. A satellite is straight above you  
when it is at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines that pass  
through the circles.  
The FIX number in the lower left corner  
of the screen show the quality of fix. If  
the FIX is 9, then it's the best you can  
get. A FIX of 1 is the worst.

COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR  
(CDI)  
The CDI shows your distance to the left  
or right of the desired course. You must  
recall a waypoint or run a route to use  
the CDI. The arrow in the center of the  
box shows the direction to the destina-  
tion. For example, if you’re travelling  
straight towards the destination, the ar-  
row points straight up. If you turn to the  
right, the arrow points to the left, show-  
ing that the destination is to your left.The smaller arrows pointing down on  
each side show the CDI’s range.The default is 0.25 mile.The small verti-  
cal bar beneath the arrow shows the dis-  
tance off course and represents the  
course line. If the bar moves to the left,  
then you are too far to the right of the  
desired course line, and vice-versa. On  
the indicator shown at right, we are about  
0.1 mile to the right of the desired course.  
(Each dotted vertical line represents  
0.175 mile.) You can adjust the CDI’s  
range through theALARMS/CDImenu.  
Using the CDI with a map helps you vi-  
sualize your position in relation to the course.The CDI is on several of the  
Eagle View’s windows and can be programmed to show on any window  
group.

The black box is on the “Route # 1” label. If this isn’t the route you want to  
use, press the right or left arrow keys to switch to another one. Before  
starting the route, you’ll need to decide if you want to start at the begin-  
ning 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, you’ll need to  
determine the first waypoint in the list you  
want to start the route. Usually, it’s 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 ar-  
row key, the word “AUTO” appears in the  
“Select First WPT” list. This starts the  
route with the waypoint that’s closest to your present position. You can  
start at any waypoint in the route. As you change the number, the se-  
lected 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 way-  
point. 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 navi-  
gation 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.)

tion, plotter, or windows screen and  
shows navigation information to the se-  
lected 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 re-  
called waypoint “2”, and our present po-  
sition.  
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 cur-  
sor. To do this, first switch to the plotter  
screen. Now move the cursor to the lo-  
cation that you want to navigate to.Next,  
press the MENU key. A new menu ap-

Navigating to a Waypoint using the  
Plotter  
The unique “birds-eye” view used by the  
plotter gives you an easy way to navi-  
gate 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, you’ll reach the destination, covering the shortest  
distance in the least time.  
CAUTION!  
The Eagle View does NOT take land features, altitudes, restricted or  
prohibited areas, or any other feature into account when it projects the  
track line on the screen.Therefore, you must use care when navigating  
on the track line and avoid any object that may be in your path to the  
destination.  
CANCEL NAVIGATION  
The Eagle View continues to navigate to a recalled waypoint, the last  
waypoint in a route, or the cursor posi-  
tion until you stop it.  
To stop the navigation function, press the  
MENU key, then press the up or down  
arrow keys until the “Cancel Naviga-  
tion” label is highlighted. Press the right

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 simi-  
lar 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, min-  
utes, seconds, and tenths of a second  
(36 28' 40.9". It can also show position in UTM’s (Universal Transverse  
Mercator) projection, British, Irish, and Military Grid systems.  
UTM’s are marked on USGS topo-  
graphic 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 it’s  
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.  
38

The EagleView can use the military grid  
reference system (MGRS). It uses two  
grid lettering schemes, which are re-  
ferred 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 you’re us-  
ing is valid for your present position, then  
use the standard MGRS, otherwise use  
the alternate MGRS.  
Press the up or down arrow keys to high-  
light 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 steer-  
ing information.  
DGPS on the other hand, is a data input. DGPS is an acronym for Differ-  
ential Global Positioning System.Currently, it relies on a system of ground-  
based transmitters that send correction signals to small DGPS receivers.  
DGPS gives you more accurate positions than is otherwise possible.

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 ap-  
pears.  
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 can’t lock on to the satellites using the data you’ve given it, or if  
it has trouble finding the satellites, perhaps it is using the wrong data.This  
can happen if you’ve entered the wrong data by accident when initializing  
43

the receiver.For example, if you entered  
east longitude instead of west. Or if  
you’ve moved a long distance with the  
unit turned off.  
To send a cold start message to the re-  
ceiver, 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 that’s 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 posi-  
tion on the map using the WGS-84 datum. However, it can show your  
position using one of 189 different da-  
tums.  
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 dy-  
namic 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 you’re  
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 min-  
utes 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 you’re  
using. If you move, the unit will continuously add the change to all posi-  
tion, 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. It’s saved in memory and doesn’t 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 loca-  
tion. 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 be-  
tween the present position shown by the  
Eagle View and the one on our chart.  
45  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
After you’ve 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 you’re travelling.This is  
due in large part to SA, or selective availability. SA is small inaccuracies  
purposefully put into the GPS satellite’s signal by the government. This  
cause wide variations in the track display and other navigation displays  
when using the unit at slow speeds.  
If you’re using the Eagle View without DGPS and stop, the position pin-  
ning feature locks the present position indicator on the plotter until you’ve  
moved a short distance or exceed a very slow speed. This prevents the  
“wanderingplot trail seen when you’re 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.  
You’ll see the present position change, speed increase and decrease,  
and a random plot trail on the plotter’s 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 EagleView 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 pre-  
set radius.Again, using the .1 mile as an  
example, if you’re anchored and your  
boat moves more than .1 of a mile, the  
alarm will sound.  
46

To use any of these alarms, first press the MENU key, then select the  
“ALARMS/CDImenu.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 alarm’s distance, move the black box to the alarm’s “DIST”  
menu item, then press the right or left arrow keys to increase or decrease  
the alarm’s distance.  
When you’re finished adjusting the alarms, press the EXIT key to erase  
this menu.  
Important Alarm Notes:  
Anchor Alarm - Since civilian users don’t receive the accuracy given to  
military users, the anchor alarm may sound even when you’re sitting  
still. This typically happens when using small (less than .05 mile) an-  
chor 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 alarm’s distance to zero (0), and you  
run a route (see the routes section), the Eagle View may not show navi-  
gation 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 selec-  
tions. When turned on, the position message appears for a few seconds  
whenever the EagleView 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.
