INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the e xciting world of GPS! Whether y ou’re a first-time user or a professional na vigator, y ou’ll find the Expedition II is a full-featured GPS receiver at a price that was impossible just a few years ago. The Rockwell® receiver built inside has 12 channels that will track all of the satellites that are in view of your location. It’s acquisition time and tracking ability are second to none in its class.

The Global P ositioning System (GPS) was developed b y the United States Department of Defense as a 24-hour a day, 365 days a year global navigation system for the military. Civilian availability was added with less accuracy using the same satellites. Twenty-four satellites orbit the Earth. Three of these satellites are spares, unused until needed. The rest virtually guarantee that at least four satellites are in vie w of anyplace on Earth at all times.

The system requires three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elev ation, (your height abo v e sea level - also called altitude.) called a 3D fix.

Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receiver their signals. Unlike radio or television, GPS works at very high frequencies. The signals can be blocked easily by trees, buildings, even your body. Fortunately, they do travel through glass and plastic, so your receiver will work in the car , if it has a clear vie w of the satellites through the windshield or side windows. Let someone else drive if you use it in a car or other vehicle.

Never use this GPS receiver while operating a vehicle!

The first time you use this unit, walk outside and turn it on in your backyard, an open field or park. Once it locks onto the satellites, you can experiment with it around buildings and trees. This will give you some idea of its sensitivity to blockage .

Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside . It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order f or it to determine direction of travel, you must be moving and the faster, the better. This is not to say that it w on’t work at walking speeds - it will. There will simply be more “wandering” of the data shown on the display.

S/A - What is it?

Another factor that greatly influences the receiver’s ability to determine position is SA. The United States government intentionally degrades the satellites signal for civilian users. They introduce small errors into the satellite’s signals that makes the GPS receiver less accurate. These errors are called selective av ailability , or SA. Ho w bad is it? They guarantee that the position reported by a GPS receiver that meets their specifications is within 100 meters horizontally and 150 meters vertically 95% of the time. (The position can be better than that or worse than that the other 5% of the time.) In other words, the position shown on your receiver is within 100 meters of your actual position, 95% of the time. That’ s over 300 feet! Not e xactly pinpoint accuracy, but then fe w people need positioning accuracy greater than this. However, if you do want better performance, (and who doesn’t?) many manufacturers (including Eagle) sell a DGPS receiver that attaches to your GPS receiv er . The DGPS system transmits correction signals that nullify the effects of SA. The DGPS receiver takes signals from these land-based transmitters and gives them to the GPS receiver which then uses them to show a more accurate position. The ironic part is the federal government implemented SA and is also operating many DGPS transmitters. (You can use the signals from all of the Coast Guard DGPS stations for free, b y the wa y.) The downside to this is it requires another piece of electronic gear (the DGPS receiver) which usually isn’t small enough to carry with you, but will work nicely on a vehicle. And you ha ve to be close enough to a station to receive the DGPS signals.

Don’t Get Lost

Generally, you find that using your GPS receiver without DGPS is both easy and amazingly accurate. It’s easily the most accurate method of electronic navigation available to the general public today. Remember, however that this receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of navigation available, such as a chart or map and a compass. It’s a good idea to carry spare batteries with you, especially if you’re venturing into unknown territory .

Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your camp , for example . It’s up to y ou to safely navigate around obstacles , no matter how you’re using this product.

GETTING STARTED P ower

The Expedition operates from four AA batteries, or one DURACELL® NiMH rechargeable battery, or from 5 to 16 volts DC using the exter nal power cable. If the power cable is used, the Expedition automatically switches to it if the e xternal power is greater than the battery voltage. If for any reason the e xternal power fails, the unit automatically s witches to the batteries.

BATTERIES

The unit requires four AA batteries. We recommend you use alkaline batteries for the best trade-off between battery life and cost. However, you can use nickel-cadmium (ni-cad), or lithium batteries. You can also use rechargeable alkaline batteries such as RayO V ac® Rene wals®. With the exception of lithium, none of the abov e batteries will last as long as standard alkaline batteries. We recommend DURACELL® brand, but others will work. Do not use “heavy-duty” batteries or any type other than the ones listed above. Do not mix different types of batteries. (For example, don’t use both alkaline and ni-cad batteries at the same time.)

Battery Installation

First turn the unit so that its back is facing you. Push the two tabs to the left and remove the battery cov er as shown at right. Install the batteries according to this diagram. (There’s a decal in the battery compartment showing the correct polarity, also.) Replace the battery compartment cover and the unit is ready for use.

NiMH Battery

The DURACELL® DR-121 nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery replaces the four standard batteries. It is sold as an accessory , model BR-1 which includes a charger custom designed for the DR-121. The battery never needs to be remov ed from the unit, since the charger connects to the GPS receiver and charges the DR-121. You can even use the receiver while the battery is charging!

To install the NiMH battery, remove the battery cover and place the battery into the compartment as shown on the next page. It will only fit one way, so if it’s difficult to install, simply turn it over and drop it into place.

Replace the compartment cover and follow the charging instructions included with the BR-1.

(Note: The DR-121 is the only battery that can be recharged in this unit! Using the external power cable alone does not charge the battery! You must use a charger supplied by Eagle in order to charge the battery . Also, this charger will only charge a DR-121. It will not charge any other type of battery , including nicads or rechargeable alkallines.)

External Antenna

Although this GPS receiver is e xtremely sen- sitive, it can be used in locations where the built-in antenna simply cannot receive signals from enough satellites. A second connector on the back of the unit is f or an external antenna. The Eagle model EA-2 antenna plugs directly into this connector. Other an- tennas may work. If you use an antenna other than Eagle, it will need to be a passive antenna. This unit does not supply po w er to the antenna.

OPERATION Keyboar d

There are 12 keys on the k eyboard. You navigate through the menus, adjust the chart’s cursor , and enter data using the arrow keys . The five major modes of operation are accessed using the PAGES key. Press the MENU ke y to select or adjust a feature from a list. The Z-IN and Z-OUT k e ys zoom-in or zoom-out the view on the plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys are used to enter or clear data or screens. Save and edit waypoints using the WPT key. The PWR key turns the unit on and off. Pressing it once while the unit is operating turns on the screen’s backlight. To prevent an accidental shutdown, you must hold the PWR key do wn for a few seconds in order to turn the unit off.

Menus

Most of the unit’ s features are f ound on “menus’. You can view the menus by pressing the MENU key. This product has “Intelligent Menus”. There are many menus that pertain to only the plotter, for example. When you press the MENU key and the plotter is sho wing, menu items for the plotter

show in addition to the normal menus. If the na vigation screen is showing, and you press the MENU key, plotter menu items won’t show on the list. This helps you find the item you need without scrolling through unnecessary menus.

Turning Power On

T o turn the unit on, simply press the PWR k ey . A screen similar to the one at right appears. Read the message on the screen, then press the EXIT key to erase it or wait a few seconds and it automatically clears. The screen shown below appears ne xt.

Satellite Status Screen

This screen appears each time you turn the unit on. It shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in vie w . Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead. The small inner ring represents 45° above the horizon and the large ring represents the horizon. North is at the top of the screen. You can use this to see which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in your immediate area if you hold the unit f acing north.

The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are surrounded by a blac k box. If the satellite number is not surrounded by a bo x, then the receiver hasn’t lock ed onto that satellite and it isn’t being used to solve the position.

Beneath the graph are the bar graphs, one for each satellite in view. Although the unit has twelve channels, it dedicates one channel per visib le satellite. Therefore, if only six satellites are visible, only six bar charts show at the bottom of the screen. The higher the bar on the graph, the better the unit is receiving the signals from the satellite.

The number in the upper left corner is the “expected horizontal position error” or e xpected error from a benchmark location. In other w ords , if the expected error sho ws 50 feet, then the position sho wn by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. Howe v er , this n umber is only valid if you’re using DGPS or if S/A is turned off. Due to S/A, the accuracy can only be less than 100 meters, 95% of the time, per U.S. gover nment specifications. Although the expected error is not accurate unless you hav e a DGPS receiv er, it does give y ou an indicator of the fix

quality the unit currently has. The smaller the e xpected error number , the better (and more accurate) the fix is.

If the expected error is flashing, then the unit has not locked onto the satellites, and the number shown is not v a lid.

A battery level indicator on the lower right side of the screen shows the approximately how much life is in the batteries. This runs from “F” (fully charged) to “E” (expired).

A light bulb indicator at the top right corner of the screen appears when the backlights are on.

You can press the EXIT key anytime to erase this screen. This automatically s witches the unit to the lastused navigation, plotter , or windo w group screen.

Finding Y our Position Auto Sear ch

To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current position, local time, and date. (Elev ation (altitude) is also used in the equation, but it’ s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view . It then searches for only those satellites. When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first time, it doesn’t know what your position or elevation (altitude) is. It does know the current UTC time and date since these were progr ammed into it at the factory and an internal clock keeps the time while the unit is turned off. It begins searching for the satellites using the above data that it acquired the last time it was turned on. This probably was at the Eagle f actory . Since it’ s almost certain that you’re not at the Eagle f actory , it’ s probably looking f or the wrong satellites. If it doesn’t find the satellites it’s looking for after five minutes, it switches to the Quick Initiailization screen. This lets you enter your location from a list of states and countries. If you simply press the EXIT key while the Quick Initialization screen is showing, after a fe w min utes the unit begins to search f or an y satellite. This is called “A uto Search”. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has shrunk to about five minutes, so the longest time you should ever hav e to wait is ten minutes from the time you turn the unit on until it locks onto the satellites and shows a position. Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it’s turned on, provided you ha ven’t mo ved more than appro ximately 100 miles from the last location it was used.

Quick Initialization

If you don’t want to wait for the Auto Search, then you can speed up the initialization process by using the “Quic k Initialization” f eature. To do this, first turn the unit on, then press the MENU key. The screen shown at right appears. Now press the down arrow key until the “GPS SETUP” label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key . The “INIT GPS” (Initialize GPS) label is highlighted. Press the right arrow ke y .The Quick Initialization label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key. The screen at right appears. All of the states in America are listed, along with most of the countries in the world. Using the up or down arrow keys, highlight the state or country that is closest to your location, then press the right arrow ke y . The unit returns to the initialize GPS menu. Press the EXIT key three more times to erase the menus. The unit returns to the satellite status screen.

Using the quick initialization method loads a position that’ s close to y ours into the GPS receiver . It should now hav e position, time, and date, thereby giving it the data it needs to determine which satellites are in view . Once the satellites are known, the receiver searches for only those satellites, making a lock much f aster than an auto search method.

Full Initialization

There are occasions when you will want or need to manually initializ e the unit by entering the position, elevation, time, and date. To do this, press the MENU key, Now press the down arrow key until the “GPS SETUP” label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key. The “INIT GPS” (Initialize GPS) label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “FULL INIT” label and press the right arrow key. The screen at right appears.

This is the full initialization screen. The position, altitude, time, and date the GPS receiver is currently using to find the satellites shows at the bottom of the screen. To update these settings to the current values, simply highlight the desired label using the up or down arrow keys, then press the right arrow key. The position label (see at the top of the next page) was selected in this example.

To change a number in the position, highlight it using the right arrow key, then use the up or down arrow k ey to change its v alue. The left arro w key acts as a backspace. When the position is correct, press the ENT key.

The unit returns to the full initialization screen. Repeat this for each of the other settings until they’re

correct for your location and time. Note: The position doesn’t have to be very accurate. If you enter a position within one degree of your actual location, the unit will be able to acquire the proper satellites.

Press the EXIT key to er ase the full initialization menu. The unit will use the data you entered to find the satellites that are currently in view. The receiver should lock onto them and show a position within a fe w minutes .

Position Acquisition

When the receiver loc ks onto and calculates a position, it shows the message “Position Acquired” on the screen. All position and navigation data flashes until the unit acquires a position.

Do not rely on any data that is

flashing!

When the numbers are flashing, they represent the last known

values when the unit lost it’s lock on the satellites. (Note: The altitude data may still flash even if the unit shows a “Position

Acquired” message and all other data is not flashing. The unit must be locked onto at least f our satellites to determine altitude. It only takes three satellites to determine position. You can navigate with this unit if the altitude is flashing, simply ignore the altitude display until it quits flashing.)

REMEMBER, DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE

NUMBERS STOP FLASHING!

POSITION/NA VIGA TION SCREENS

This unit has four modes: status, plotter , na vigation, and window groups . Use the PAGES and arrow ke ys to s witch betw een the diff erent screens . The four screens that show b y def ault are sho wn belo w.

STATUS NA VIGATION PLOTTER WINDOWS

To change modes, simply press the PAGES key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Use the up or down arrow keys to change modes. (The windows mode is shown as “GRP” (groups); group “A” is the first windows group .)

Press the right arrow ke y while the above menu is showing to switch between diff erent versions of each mode. When the desired screen appears, press the EXIT ke y to erase the menu.

Navigation Screens

There are two different na vigation screens. Nav screen number one shows a graphical view of your trip, Nav screen number 2 shows all navigation details in large digital numbers. You can also customize both navigation screens to show data other than the def ault. See the “Programming Box es” section for more inf ormation.

Nav Screen #1

This screen has a compass rose that shows not only your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. The navigation screen looks like the one at right when you’ re

not

navigating to a waypoint. Your position is shown by an arrow in the center of the screen. Your trail history, or path you’ve taken is depicted by the line e xtending from the arrow. The arrow pointing down at the top of the compass rose indicates the current track (direction of travel) you are taking. This is also shown in the “TRK” (trac k) box in the upper right corner of the screen. On the example shown at right, the track is 355°. The current ground speed (GS) shows in the box in the lower left corner of this screen.

When navigating to a waypoint, Nav screen number one looks like the one at right. Bearing to the destination waypoint is in the bo x in the upper left corner. Bearing is also shown by the large arrow pointing up towards the compass, abov e the present position arrow . Distance from the present position to the waypoint (DIS) shows beneath the compass on the lower left side of the screen.

Lines on either side of the present position show the current cross track error r ange. Cross track error is the

distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you started navigating to the destination waypoint. It’s shown on the screen as a vertical dotted line. The def ault for the cross track error range is 0.25 mile. F or example, if the present position symbol touches the right cross track error line, then you are .25 mile to the right of the desired course. You need to steer left to return to the desired course. The cross track error is also shown in the “XTK” box. Beneath this box is the course (CRS) box showing the direction from your starting position to the waypoint. Remember , a course is a proposed path from the starting position to the destination. Track is your actual direction of trav el.

A circle depicting your destination (wa ypoint) appears on the screen as you approach the wa ypoint as shown on the screen at right.

Nav Screen #2

This navigation screen shows all navigation information in large digital numbers. T o vie w this screen, press the PAGES key, then press the up arrow key until the “NA V1” label is highlighted. While it’s highlighted, press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Press the EXIT key to er ase the menu.

This screen is composed of eight digital boxes. Track (TRK) and ground speed (GS) are all that show if y ou’re not navigating to a wa ypoint. If you are na vigating to a waypoint, then bearing (BRG), distance to waypoint (DIS), estimated time en route (ETE), course (CRS), cross track error (XTK), and the CDI also operate. See below for more information on the CDI.

Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)

Once navigation to a waypoint is established, the CDI shows your distance to the left or right of the desired course. The vertical line in the box shows both the direction you must steer to get back on course and the distance to the course line. For e xample, if y ou’ re tr av elling straight towards the destination, from the start, then the line stays

in the center . If you drift off course to the left, the line moves to the

right

. This signifies that you need to steer to the right to get back on course. This is called “chasing the needle”. If you steer towards the line (needle), you’ll always be heading in the correct direction to get back on course.

The CDI’s r ange shows in the upper right corner of the CDI box. You can adjust the range by selecting the “ALARMS/CDI” label on the main menu. The default is 0.25 mile. This is also shown by the dots at the far left and right side of the CDI. If the line is on either of these dots, then you are 0.25 mile off course. Remember, if the line mo v es to the left, then y ou are too far to the right of the desired course line and vice-versa. On the CDI shown above , the w e are almost 0.125 mile to the left of the desired course.

Plotter

The plotter shows your course and trac k from a “birds-ey e” vie w . If you’re navigating to a wa ypoint, the plotter shows your starting location, present position, course line, and destination. You don’t hav e to navigate to a waypoint, howe v er, to use the plotter .

Using the plotter is as simple as pressing the PAGES key, then highlighting “PLOT 1”. A screen similar to the one below appears. The diamond flashing in the center of the screen is your present position. The solid line extending from the diamond is your plot trail, or path you’ve taken. The plotter’s range shows in the lower left corner of the screen. In this example, the plotter’ s range is tw o miles from the left edge of the screen to the right.

There are three different plotter screens a vailab le. To view the other plotter screens, press the PAGES key, highlight the PLOT label, and press the right arrow ke y. Press the EXIT ke y to erase the menu. Plot-2 (shown at right) has navigation data added at the bottom of the screen, beneath the plotter . The data includes bearing to wa ypoint (BRG), distance to waypoint (DIS), ground speed (GS), and track (TRK).

PLOT-1 PLOT-2 PLOT-3

Plot-3 (see at the top of the next page) is similar to plot-2. The major difference is the steering arrow and waypoint inf ormation at the bottom of the screen. When you navigate to a waypoint, the waypoint’s name and number show at the bottom of this screen. The steering arrow alwa ys points in the direction to the waypoint.

The Z-IN and Z-OUT ke ys zoom-in and out all plotters to enlarge or reduce their cover age area. The av ailable 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, and 2000 miles. Pressing both the Z-IN and Z-OUT centers the cursor’ s position on the plotter screen.

Cursor

Pressing an arrow key tur ns on two dotted lines that intersect at the present position symbol. These lines are called a “cursor” and have a variety of uses.

To turn the cursor on, simply press the arrow key in the direction you want the cursor to move. This lets you view areas on the plotter that are away from your present position. The cursor’s latitude and longitude show at the top of plot-1’s screen. The zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from the cursor’s position when it’ s active - not the present position. You can zoom in on any detail, anywhere . The cursor can also place icons and waypoints.

Press the EXIT ke y to er ase the cursor.

Plotter Options

This unit lets you customize the plotter using the plotter options menu. To use this menu, press the MENU key, then highlight the “Plotter Options” label. The screen at right appears.

Update Options

By default, the plotter places a dot on the screen e very 3 seconds to create the plot trail. You can change this time from once per second to once ever y thirty minutes. The plot trail can also be updated by distance instead of by time. The distance update r ate can be set from 0.01 to once ev ery 10 miles.

From the Plotter Options menu, choose Update Options to change the update rate or type. Select the option that you wish to change , use the left or right arrow keys to adjust it, then press the EXIT key to erase the menu.

Plotter Orientation

Normally , the plotter shows north at the top of the screen. This is the wa y most maps and charts are printed. This is fine if you’re travelling northward. Waypoints on the plotter’s left side should also be to your left, and so on. Howe ver , if you trav el any other direction, the plotter doesn’t line up with your view of the world.

To solve the problem, this unit has a track-up mode that orients the top of the display to your trac k, or direction of tra vel. It rotates the plotter as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the plotter should alw ays be on your left. The unit also has a course-up mode that locks the course to the top of the display.

On the example screens shown belo w , w e’ re trav elling southward (about 150°). In the north-up view, the present position indicator appears to mo ve toward the low er right corner of the screen. The anchor icon sho wn on the right side of the screen is actually on our left. North is always at the top of this screen.

See the wa ypoint section for information on setting up the unit for wa ypoint na vigation.

Group A

This screen has bearing (BRG), track (TRK), a trip meter, distance to go (DIS), and ground speed (GS). The trip meter logs the distance you hav e travelled since the unit began reporting a position. The trip meter is not erased when the unit is shut off. To reset the trip meter to zero, press the MENU key, then select “Tripmeter Reset” from the menu. The unit returns to group A with the trip meter reset.

Group B

Bearing, track, distance to go, and ground speed are all the same as group A. Two new windows appear ETE and CDI. ETE is your Estimated Time En route, or an approximation of the time it will tak e to arrive at the waypoint you’re navigating to. The CDI is a steering indicator . See page 10 f or more information on the CDI.

Group C

This group consists of bearing, track, distance to go, and estimated time en route.

Group D

Bearing, distance to go, trac k, ground speed, estimated time of arrival, estimated time en route, v elocity made good (VMG), estimated time of arrival, and CDI show on this screen. V elocity made good is the speed y ou’re making towards the wa ypoint. F or e xample, if you’ re in a boat and trav elling directly tow ards a waypoint at 30 miles per hour , but you’ re going against a 5 m.p .h. current, then your velocity made good is 25 miles per hour .

Group E

This screen has bearing, track, distance to go, and velocity made good.

Group F

A repeat of group E, except velocity made good is replaced with a large CDI.

Group G

This screen shows the present position, bearing, distance to go, tr ac k, and g round speed.

WAYPOINTS

This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of locations, called “waypoints’. You can save your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example, you may wish to store the location of your parked car as a waypoint before starting on a hike. When you w ant to return to the car, all y ou hav e to do is recall the wa ypoint and the unit will show distance and bearing from your present position to the car. This unit will store up to 750 waypoints .

Wa ypoint Menu

With fe w e xceptions, in order to sa ve , modify, or recall a wa ypoint, y ou will use the waypoint menu, shown at right. The current wa ypoint number shows at the top of the screen. Its name appears near the center of the screen, right above its position. Beneath this is the distance and bearing from your present position to the waypoint. It’s icon shows just to the right of the distance and bearing. The date and time the wa ypoint was sav ed is at the bottom of this screen. In short, all of the detail about the wa ypoint shows on this screen.

Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Quic k Sa ve Method)

To save your present position, simply press the WPT key twice. Your current position is placed into the first available waypoint number on the list. A message appears on the display telling y ou the waypoint n umber it just used. This also momentarily places you in the wa ypoint menu. Anytime this menu is showing, simply press the WPT k ey once and the unit will store your present position on the wa ypoint list.

Every time you sav e a wa ypoint, the date and time are logged along with the position data. It’s icon is also placed on the plotter as shown abov e. In this case, w aypoint number one was assigned when the position was sav ed.

Saving The Cursor Position as a Waypoint

When the cursor is showing on the plotter and you press the WPT key twice, the cursor’ s position is placed into the first av ailable wa ypoint number. In the example screen shown below, the cursor is placed at the desired location. Pressing the WPT twice causes wa ypoint number two to be placed at the cursor’s crosshairs. (Waypoint 2 was the next available waypoint number.) A message appears on the display telling you the wa ypoint number it just used. Wait a f e w seconds and the menu will clear automatically. Press the EXIT ke y to erase the cursor.

Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Select Number Method)

SELECTING A WAYPOINT

In order to edit or navigate to a waypoint, you must first select it. There are three ways to do this: by waypoint number, waypoint list, or nearest. All wa ypoint selection methods are on the main waypoint men u shown at the top of this page.

Wa ypoint Number

To select a waypoint by its number , simply highlight the “WPT” label at the top of the wa ypoint menu, then press the left or right arrow ke ys until the desired wa ypoint number appears.

Wa ypoint List

The waypoint number selection method forces you to scroll through all wa ypoint numbers, whether there’ s a location saved in them or not. The wa ypoint list is composed only of saved waypoints. To use the list, select “WPT LIST” from the w aypoint menu. The screen shown at right appears. The names of all wa ypoints stored in memory show on this list. Simply highlight the desired wa ypoint and press the right arrow key to select it. The wa ypoint list screen is erased and the w aypoint menu reappears.

Nearest Waypoint

You can select the nearest waypoint to your present position by choosing “Nearest” from the waypoint men u. The screen shown below right appears. Up to five wa ypoints show on this screen. The highlighted waypoint at the top of the screen is nearest to your present position, the next one is farther, the one after that even farther , and so on.

Each wa ypoint is shown by its number , name, distance and bearing from your present position to the wa ypoint. Use the up or down arrow k eys to scroll through the list of waypoints. When the desired waypoint is highlighted, press the right arrow ke y to select it. The unit returns to the wa ypoint menu.

EDITING A WAYPOINT

You can customize a waypoint b y giving it a name or change it’s position or icon. To do this, first press the WPT ke y. The wa ypoint screen appears. Now highlight the OPTIONS label and press the right arrow key. Follow the instructions on the next page for each item.

Edit Name

You can assign a name to each waypoint. The name can hav e up to eight characters. To do this, first select Name Edit from the Options menu. A screen similar to the one at right appears.

Press the up or down arrow ke ys to select the first letter in the name. Press the right arrow key to highlight the next position in the name. Repeat this sequence until you’ve entered all of the letters in the waypoint name. Press the ENT key to accept this name , the WPT ke y to erase all characters in the name, or the EXIT ke y to leav e this screen without sa ving any changes.

Edit Position

Any latitude/longitude can be assigned to any w aypoint by manually entering it using the keyboard. First select the waypoint n umber that you want to sav e a position under from the waypoint men u. Next, highlight the “Options” men u and press the right arrow key . Now highlight the Position Edit menu and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. Using the left and right arrow ke ys, highlight each number in the position and change it using the up and down arrow ke ys. When you’re ready to save this position and return to the wa ypoint screen, press the ENT key . Press the EXIT key to erase the men us and return to the navigation, plotter, or windows screen. Note: You can also use this method to change the position of an existing w aypoint.

Use the arrow keys to select the icon that you want to assign to the waypoint, then press the ENT ke y . The wa ypoint now has the new icon.

W AYPOINT NA VIGATION

The Expedition II makes it easy to navigate to an y wa ypoint. All you ha v e to do is select the waypoint (see page 26), then highlight the “GO TO” label on the waypoint screen and press the right arrow key. The unit immediately shows navigation inf ormation to the waypoint on all navigation, plotter , and windows screens .

In this example, waypoint number 5 was recalled. Switching to a plotter number two screen (shown at right) shows the starting location “S”, the recalled wa ypoint “5”, the plot trail from the starting location to the present position, and the present position.

Navigating to a cursor location

This unit lets you navigation to a location without storing it in the wa ypoint database by using the plotter and cursor . To do this, first s witch to a plotter screen. Now mov e the cursor to the location that you w ant to navigate to . Next, press the MENU k e y. A new , highlighted menu appears on the list: “Go T o Cursor”. Press the right arrow k ey . It no w shows navigation data to the cursor location (shown as “D” on the plotter). See the screens below.

Navigating to a Waypoint using the Plotter

The unique “birds-ey e” view used b y the plotter gives y ou an easy wa y to navigate to a wa ypoint. On the plotter screen shown abov e, 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 number “1” is w aypoint number one , which is the recalled waypoint and the destination. The “D” on the plotter screen at the top of this page is the cursor destination, when the cursor position is used as a destination. If you f ollow the trac k line, you’ll reach the destination, co vering the shortest distance in the least time.

CAUTION!

This product does NOT tak e land features , restricted or prohibited areas, or any other feature into account when it projects the track line on the screen. Use caution when navigating to a location. Make certain there are no obstructions in your path.

OTHER W A YPOINT OPTIONS Move a Waypoint

You can move all inf ormation from one waypoint number to another to help organize the waypoints. In this example, we’ll move all of the information in waypoint number 1 to waypoint number 9. To do this, highlight the wa ypoint options label on the waypoint screen and press the right arrow ke y . Now highlight the “Mo ve WPT” label. Press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears. The “F rom” label is highlighted at the top of the screen. Press the right arrow key until the waypoint number that you want to move appears. In this example , we selected waypoint number 1. Now press the down arrow ke y once to highlight the “To” label. Press the left or right arrow key until the number that you want to move the waypoint to ap-

pears. Again, in this example, we chose to move waypoint number 1 to wa ypoint number 9, so we pressed the right arrow ke y until “9” appeared. As you can see on the screen below , wa ypoint number 1 is showing in the “From” box. No w press the ENT key. The “From” box is no w empty and the “To” box has wa ypoint n umber 9.

Note: The names in the “From” and “To” bo xes are not the w aypoint numbers - they are the wa ypoint names .

Press the EXIT key to er ase this men u.

DISTANCE BETWEEN W AYPOINTS

This unit can easily give you the distance betw een two wa ypoints. To do this, first press the WPT k ey , highlight the Options menu and press the right arrow ke y, then highlight the Dist Btwn WPTS label and press the right arrow ke y. The screen at right appears.

You must now select the first wa ypoint, which is called wa ypoint “A” on this screen. Highlight the “Set WPT A” label, and press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one shown at right appears.

This screen is virtually identical to the waypoint screen Select a wa ypoint using the waypoint n umber, from the wa ypoint list, or the nearest wa ypoint list. After selecting the wa ypoint, highlight the “SET WPT A” label and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the distance between wa ypoints screen.

Once the first wa ypoint shows on the screen, then you need to choose the other wa ypoint. Highlight the “Set WPT B” label. Now select the second waypoint. The unit returns to the distance between waypoints screen. Both waypoints are shown on this screen. At the bottom of the screen are the distance and bearing from the first waypoint “A” to the second waypoint “B”. You can select more waypoints to measure at this time or press the EXIT key to er ase this screen.

Project a Waypoint

You can save a waypoint even if you don’t know it’s position or location on the plotter. This unit lets you project the location of a waypoint from a known waypoint using only bearing and distance from the known waypoint. This is useful if you don’t know the latitude/ longitude of a location, but you do know the distance and bearing from a saved waypoint or your own position.

(Note: To project a waypoint from your present position, you must first save your present position as a waypoint.)

To use this feature, press the WPT key, then select a waypoint number that you want to save the projected wa ypoint under .No w select Project WPT from the Options menu. The screen sho wn at right appears.

The unit needs a starting location to project the new waypoint from. Highlight the “REF WPT” label on the Project WPT men u and press the right arrow k e y. The screen at the top of the next page appears. Select a wa ypoint from either the wa ypoint number, new est, or wa ypoint list. When you’v e chosen the wa ypoint, highlight the “USE REF” label and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the Project WPT screen. The starting waypoint you chose shows in the middle of this screen. Now set the distance from the starting wa ypoint to the projected waypoint by highlighting the “SET DIST” label and pressing the right arro w key . Use the arrow ke ys to set the distance, then press the ENT key when y ou’re finished. The unit returns to the Project WPT screen. Now enter the bearing from the starting waypoint to the projected waypoint by selecting “SET BRG” from the Project WPT screen. Once you’ve entered the bearing, the unit returns to the Project WPT screen with the distance and bearing showing at the bottom of the screen, as shown at right. Now press the ENT key. The unit sav es the projected location under the w aypoint number that you pick ed at the beginning.

Position A veraging

The effects of Selectiv e A v ailability, described in the Introduction, can be minimized or virtually eliminated using position averaging. You can only save a waypoint using this method, however the location saved can be much more accurate than any other method without using DGPS. The downside to this method is twofold-It only works to save a waypoint and the unit must be in the location that you want to save, preferably for an hour.

This method works by taking an extremely large number of position reports and averaging them. This results in a surprisingly accurate position. The longer you leav e the unit in the location, the better the position should be.

To save a waypoint using position averaging, first select a number that you wish to save the waypoint under. Next, select “Average WPT” from the OPTIONS menu on the wa ypoint menu. The screen shown at right appears. When you’ re ready to save the w aypoint, press the ENT key. The position is sa ved under the wa ypoint number you selected.

Delete a Wa ypoint

To erase all of the information in a waypoint, first press the WPT key, then select the waypoint you want to erase. Now highlight the “Options” label and press the right arrow ke y . Finally , highlight the “Delete WPT” label and press the right arrow ke y . A message appears, asking if you really want to delete this wa ypoint. Press the right arrow key to delete it, the left to exit without deleting the wa ypoint.

Delete All W a ypoints

You can remove all of the waypoints from the unit’s memory. To do this, press the MENU key, then highlight the System Setup menu and press the right arrow ke y. Now highlight the DEL ALL WPTS label. The unit removes all waypoints from memory. Note: This also removes all routes from memory .

ROUTES

You can connect several user waypoints together to form a route. When you recall the route, the unit shows na vigation information to the first waypoint in the route, then when you reach that waypoint, it switches to the next w a ypoint, and so on until y ou reach the last w a ypoint in the route .

Create a Route

To create a route, first press the MENU key, highlight the “PLAN/EDIT ROUTES” label, and press the right arrow ke y. The screen shown at right appears.

This unit can store up to 50 routes. Route number one shows on this page. If y ou wish to create a route using a different nu mber, simply press the left or right arrow keys until the desired route number appears. In this example , how e v er, we’ll use route number one.

At the bottom of this menu is the “Edit Name” label. If you wish to name the route, highlight that label, then press the right arrow key. Use the arro w ke ys to name the route, (you can use up to eight characters in the name) then press the ENT key when y ou’re finished.

T o add w aypoints to the route, highlight the “Edit Route” label and press the right arrow ke y. The screen show n at right appears. This is the waypoint list screen.

NMEA / DGPS

This product transmits data through the power/data port in the back of the unit using NMEA 0183 format, version 1.5 or 2.0. The data is used by other electronic devices such as marine autopilots f or position and steering information.

DGPS on the other hand, is a data input. DGPS is an acron ym for Differential Global P ositioning System. Currently, it relies on a system of ground-

based transmitters that send correction signals to small DGPS receivers . DGPS gives you more accur ate positions than is otherwise possib le .

All wiring connections to the Expedition II are made through the power cable. See the sample wiring diagrams on the ne xt page for general wiring procedures. Read your other product’s owner’s manual for more wiring information.

Once the cables are wired, turn the unit on, press the menu key, and select NMEA / DGPS CONFIG from the System Setup menu. A screen similar to the one shown below appears.

The system information screen shows the release date and the software’ s version number . To view this screen, highlight the System Inf o label on the System Setup menu. Now press the right arrow key. Press the EXIT key when you’re finished reading this screen.

GPS SETUP

Items found under the GPS Setup menu include initialization, (covered at the beginning of this man ual), position format, power save, datums, and more. To use any of these f eatures , first press the MENU k e y, highlight GPS Setup and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.

Position Format

The Expedition II 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 UTM (Universal T ransverse Mercator) projection, British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish, New Zealand, and Military Grid.

UTM’ s are marked on USGS topographic charts. This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6 degrees wide in longitude.

British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, New Zealand, and Finnish grid systems are the national coordinate system used only in their respective countries. In order to use these grid systems, you must be in the respective country . This unit will pic k the matching datum for you when y ou select the grid. See the Datums section f or more inf ormation.

The military grid reference system (MGRS) uses two grid lettering schemes, which are referred to as standard and alternate MGRS on the Expedition II. Y our position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you use the standard, and your position is off significantly , then try using the alternate.

Note: When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions are shown on all screens. This includes waypoints .

To change the format, highlight the “Position Format” label on the “GPS Setup” menu, then press the right arrow ke y . A screen similar to the one at right appears.

Press the up or down arrow keys to highlight the desired format. Press the EXIT key to er ase the position f ormat menu.

DATUM

Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area that’s cov ered 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, your position shows using the WGS-84 datum. However, it can show your position using one of 191 different datums.

To change the datum, first press the MENU key, then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and press the right arrow ke y . 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 ke y. This selects the datum and erases the select datum menu. To erase the menu without changing the datum, simply press the EXIT ke y.

A list of the datums used by the Expedition II is in the back of this man ual.

PCF (Position Correction F actor)

Another method used to make your displa y 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 displa ys at all times.

Remember , the position error on any r adio navigation system is v ery 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 you’re

finished with the chart.

For example, suppose you are stopped at a location that is accurately marked on a chart. Your unit sho ws 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 Expedition II match the chart you’re 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. F or 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 k e y again. A screen similar to the one above right appears.

Now enter the correction f or your location. Remember, this is the difference between the location shown on the present position display and the position sho wn on the chart. In this e xample, 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 Expedition II and the one on our chart.

After you’ve entered the latitude/longitude correction, press the ENT key to accept it. The Expedition II erases the PCF entry screen and returns to the navigation or mapping screens with the correction factor applied.

POSITION PINNING

When using a GPS receiver at e xtremely low speeds , it can ha ve troub le determining your course over g round, or direction you’re tra velling. 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 this receiver without DGPS and stop, the position pinning feature locks the present position indicator on the plotter until y ou’ve mov ed a short distance or exceed a very slow speed. This pre vents the “wandering” plot trail seen when you’re stopped with position pinning turned off.

This also affects the na vigational displa ys . The easiest way to see the effects of S/A is to stand

still with the GPS receiver 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.

If you wish to turn the position pinning feature off , press the MENU key, then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Pinning” label. Finally , press the left arrow k ey.

POWER SAVE

This GPS receiver has an important power save software upgrade that significantly improves battery life. However, this feature does affect the receiver's perfor mance. If you are using it under heavy cover, such as trees or around tall buildings, the receiver can lose its lock on the satellites easier when the power save feature is enabled. The power save feature changes the position update rate. We recommend you test the power sa ve f eature in known surroundings and determine its capabilities before v enturing into unknown territory .

To turn the power sa ve feature on, press the MENU k ey , then highlight the "GPS SETUP" label and press the right arrow key. Now highlight the "PWR SA VE" label and press the right arrow ke y to turn it on. Press the EXIT ke y to erase the menu.

The letters "PS" for "Power Save" show on the satellite status screen whenev er the power sa ve mode is on. You can also verify the power save mode status by viewing the GPS Setup men u.

To turn the power sa ve mode off, simply return to the GPS Setup menu as described above, highlight the "PWR SAVE" label, and press the left arrow key.

ALARMS

The Expedition II has sev eral alarms. You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warning message when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For e xample, if you hav e the arrival alarm set to .1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when you come within .1 mile of the recalled waypoint. The course deviation indicator alarm (CDI) can warns when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the waypoint. For example , if the alarm is set to .1 mile, then the alarm flashes a message

if you drift .1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint. The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside of a preset radius. Again, using the .1 mile as an example, if y ou’re anchored and your boat moves more than .1 of a mile , the alarm will flash a message.

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 ke y to mov e the b lac k 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 ke ys to increase or decrease the alarm’s distance.

When you’re finished, press the EXIT key to er ase this menu.

Important Alarm Notes:

Anchor Alarm - Since civilian users don’t receive the accuracy given to military users, the anchor alarm may be triggered even when you’re sitting still. This typically happens when using small (less than .05 mile) anchor alarm ranges. If you ha v e a DGPS beacon receiv er connected to the Expedition II, smaller ranges may be usab le .

Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm’s distance to a small number, and you run a route (see the routes section), the Expedition II may not show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first one, since you ma y not be able to come close enough to the first wa ypoint to trip the arrival alarm.

MESSA GES

The position and DGPS message selections are found on the Alarms/ CDI menu. When turned on, the position message appears for a few seconds whenever the unit 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 f or these messages is “on”. To turn either message off, select the “Setup Alarms” menu from the main menu, then highlight the desired message and press the left arrow ke y.

SUNRISE/SET MOONRISE/SET CALCULAT OR

This unit has a sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset calculator that shows this information anywhere or anytime in the world. To use it, press the MENU ke y , then highlight the Sun/Moon Calc label and press the right arrow key. Highlight either the sun or moon calculator and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears if you chose the sunrise calculator . (Both calculators w ork identically . We’ll concentrate on the sunrise/sunset calculator for this example.) The sunrise and sunset for today’s date appear in the center of the screen. Today’ s date sho ws at the top of the screen. If y ou w ant to kno w the sunrise/ sunset for a different date, press the ENT key, then enter the new date . The unit returns to the sunrise/sunset calculator screen with the sunrise and sunset times shown for the date y ou entered.

The sunrise and sunset show for your present position. If you move the plotter’s cursor to a different position before using this calculator, it will show the sunrise/sunset for the cursor’s location.

The moonrise/moonset calculator works identically to the sunrise/sunset calculator. It looks lik e the screen at right. A moon symbol shows near the bottom of the screen, showing the appro ximate phase of the moon. The arrow next to the symbol shows if it is moving towards a full moon (up) or a new moon (do wn).

Press the EXIT ke y to er ase this screen.

SIMULAT OR
