Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the finest 12-channel GPS receivers Eagle™
has ever made. With its high contrast LCD screen, easy to use menus,
and outstanding performance, we think you’ll be happy with your Eagle
Expedition™ for many y ears.
GPS works from satellites that transmit information to the world at very
high frequencies. One disadvantage to this frequency is that it’s “line-ofsight”. 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 building (such as a house), the unit probably won’t be able to
pick up the signals from the satellites. This is common among all GPS
receivers.
Like most GPS receivers, your Eagle Expedition doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid b uilt 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 tr a v elling, y ou m ust 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 y ou travel, the easier it is f or the unit
to determine your direction.
Another factor that influences the GPS’ position and navigation capabilities is called selective av ailability 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 f oreign 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 Expedition 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. It’s also important to note that in the other five percent,
your position can be closer than the above, or it can be much further
away.
There are two ways around the S/A problem. One is to have the government simply turn it off. In fact, there is growing pressure on them to do
that. The other method is to purchase a DGPS receiver and connect it to
your Eagle Expedition. A DGPS receiver (commonly called a beacon
receiver), picks up correction signals broadcast from ground stations.
The Eagle Expedition takes these corrections and applies them to the
position and altitude screens, giving you much better accuracy.
1
Even with S/A on, and without a DGPS receiver, your Eagle Expedition
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 f amiliarize yourself with
them before using the Eagle Expedition in the “real world”. A sim ulator is
built in, which lets you practice.
INSTALLATION
The Expedition will operate from four AA batteries, one DURA CELL® rechargeable battery , or from 5 to 16 volts DC. An optional cigarette lighter
adapter is available to plug into a car or boat’s electrical system. The
Expedition automatically switches to external power when it’s plugged
into the unit. If , f or any reason, the e xternal power f ails , the unit will automatically switch to the batteries.
The Expedition does not require batteries when the external power is in
use, however they make a good backup in case of power failure.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
For battery operation, the Expedition requires four AA batteries or the
optional DURACELL® DR-121 rechargeable battery . (The DR-121 battery
comes with the Eagle® BR-1B recharger. This charger lets you recharge
the DR-121 battery while it’s in the unit, plus you can use the Expedition
while the battery is charging.) If you use alkaline batteries, we recommend DURACELL® brand, but other brands will work. You can also use
rechargeable ni-cad batteries (however, they won’t last as long as standard alkalines). Rechargeable alkaline batteries such as RayOVac® Renewals® will also work.
Do not use heavy-duty batteries or
any battery 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.)
To install the batteries, first turn the
Expedition over on its back. Now
push the two tabs to the left and
raise the battery cover as shown
below. The bottom part of the case
holds the batteries.
2
There are “+” and “-” marks on a decal at the bottom of the battery compartment. Place the batteries into the compartment according to the
marks and replace the battery cover. The Expedition is now ready for use .
EXTERNAL POWER
Instead of batteries, the Expedition can operate on 5 to 16 volts DC from
an external power source. To use external power, an adapter cab le m ust
be purchased (model CA-2) that will plug into your vehicle’s cigarette
lighter. To use this cable, simply plug one end into the connector on the
Expedition and the other end into the cigarette lighter.
KEYBOARD
The keyboard has twelve keys. The arrow keys are tied to most of the
features, letting you easily mo ve the plotter’ s cursor , navigate through the
menus, make selections from menus , and other tasks.

navigation, and plotter . To select different features , or to modify functions,
press the MENU key. The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in and zoom-out
your view on the plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys let you enter or
erase selections. The PWR key turns both the Eagle Expedition and it’s
lights on and off.
Note: To prev ent an accidental po wer shutdown, y ou must hold the PWR
key down for a few seconds in order to turn the unit off.

OPERATION
Turning Power On
T o turn the Eagle Expedition 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 Expedition is
now ready for use.
MENUS
Most of the Eagle Expedition’s adjustments and
features are found on “menus”. Pressing the
MENU key lets you view the menus. Different
menu 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.
Pressing the up or down arrow keys moves the
black bo x to highlight different menus on the list.
Pressing the right arrow key selects the highlighted menu item.
To erase a menu, press the EXIT key.
Finding Y our Position
Cold Start
When the Eagle Expedition 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 should take 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
Eagle Expedition will lock onto the satellites and give y ou 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 coldstart can take over two minutes to acquire enough satellite data to determine your position, although it typically takes less time than that.
4
To use your Expedition, first make certain you have a clear view of the
sky, free from any obstructions such as trees or buildings. Also, don’t try
to use it under a carport, covered boat dock, or inside a building. Turn the
power on, press the EXIT key to erase the opening message and watch
the display.
As you wait for the Eagle Expedition to find your
position, you’ll see numbers flashing on the display . An ytime you see flashing numbers, it means
the Eagle Expedition does not have a position!
Do not rely on any data that is flashing! Once the
Expedition locks on to the satellites and finds your
position, it shows a “P osition Acquired” message
on the screen. It also stores the satellite data in
its memory. The next time you use the unit, it
should take much less time to lock on.
That’s all you have to do to find your position.
Your local time display may not be correct when
the cold start method is used. See the initialization section for details on
changing the time.
Finding Y our Position
Initialization
A cold-start as described above can take over two minutes to find your
position. A f aster method is to initialize the Eagle Expedition man ually. To
do this, first press the PWR key. Next, read the message on the screen
and press the EXIT key to erase it. Now press the MENU key.
Press the up or down arrow keys until the “GPS
SETUP” menu is highlighted. Now press the right
arrow key. Ne xt, using the do wn arrow ke y, highlight the “INIT GPS” (initialize GPS) menu, then
press the right arrow key. The screen shown at
right appears.
This is the GPS initialization screen. The position, altitude, time, and date the Eagle Expedition is currently using to find the satellites is shown
at the bottom of this screen. Changing these v alues to your local position and time will speed the
position lock.
5
To change the position, press the right arrow key
while the “POSITION” box is highlighted. The
screen shown at right appears.
If your latitude is south, press the up or down arrow key to change it. If it is north, press the right
arrow key to mo ve the change box to the first number in the latitude. Now press the up arro w ke y to
increase the number or the down arrow key to
decrease it. Once the first number in the latitude
is set, press the right arrow key once to move to
the next number in the latitude.
Keep pressing the arrow keys until the latitude and longitude are set to
your local position. (Note: This position does not hav e to be very accurate.
If you can get it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.)
When it’s set, press the ENT k e y. The Expedition accepts y our 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 ever ything is acceptable, press the
EXIT key repeatedly to return to a mode screen. The Expedition will instantly use the data you entered to find the satellites in the sky. (The unit
knows which satellites will be av ailable at the position, date, and time you
entered. Theref ore, it will only look f or 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 Expedition finds and locks on to three satellites, it stops
flashing the numbers on the display. (Note: Altitude will still flash until the
unit locks on to the fourth satellite. It takes four satellites to determine
altitude.)
IMPORTANT!
If the data shown in digital numbers on any screen is flashing, it means
that data is invalid. DO NOT RELY ON ANY NUMBERS THAT ARE
FLASHING! Usually , this happens when the Eagle Expedition 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 DAT A STOPS
FLASHING!

POSITION/NA VIGA TION DISPLAYS
The Eagle Expedition has navigation, plotter , and windows group modes.
These screens were designed to show data that is used most often. The
three default screens are shown belo w.
NAV-1 PLOT-1 GROUP A
To change screens, simply press the P A GES ke y.
A screen similar to the one at right appears. Now
press the up or down arrow ke ys to change modes.
(The windows display is shown as "GRP" (groups).
For example, Group A is the first windows group
on the PAGES 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 sho ws a graphical view of your trip , the other screen shows all navigation details in large
digital numbers. You can customize the navigation screens to sho w different data than the ones chosen by Eagle. See the “Customize Screen”
section for more details.
7
Nav Screen #1
This screen is dominated by a compass rose (See
the screen at right.) Your position is in the center
of the circle, designated by an arrow that always
points straight up. Your track (direction of tra vel) 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 shown at right, the
track is 167°. The line extending behind the arro w
in the center shows your track history, or path
you’ve tra velled.
Your speed over ground or Ground Speed (GS)
shows in the digital box in the bottom left corner
of the screen. The screen looks like the one abo ve
when you’re not navigating to a waypoint. (See
page 28 for information on waypoint navigation.)
If you navigate to a waypoint, the screen looks
like the one at right.
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 bearing is 176° on the screen at
right.
NAV-1
The lines on either side of the present position
arrow show the cross track error range. In other
words, (using the screen abov e as an example) if
the arrow crosses the line on either side, you are
.10 miles to the left or right of the desired course.
A circle depicting your destination appears on the
screen as you approach the waypoint as shown
on the screen at right.
The digital box es on the bottom of the screen show
your distance to go to the destination (DIS), ground
speed (GS), cross track error (XTK), and course
(CRS).
Course (CRS) is the bearing from your starting
location to your destination. (Remember, course
8
has nothing to do with your present position, except f or your starting location.) It’s shown as a dotted line on the NAV 1 display. This is sho wn as a
reminder so that if you deviate from your original course, you can easily
return to it. (A “course” is a proposed path over the ground. A “track” is
your actual path ov er ground.)
Nav Screen #2
This navigation screen shows navigation inf ormation in large digital numbers. To view this screen,
press the PAGES key, then press the up arrow
key until the “NAV 1” label is highlighted. Now press
the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at
right appears. Press the EXIT key to erase the
pages menu.
This screen is composed of eight digital display
boxes, showing your track (TRK), and ground
speed (GS). The other bo xes show navigation data
when a waypoint is recalled, including bearing to
the waypoint (BRG), course (CRS), distance to
waypoint (DIS), estimated time en route (ETE),
and cross track error (XTK) along with a CDI. See below for more information on the CDI.
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 ver tical line in the
center of the box shows the direction to the destination. For example , if you’ re travelling straight tow ards
the destination, the line stays in the center of the
CDI. If you turn to the right, the line moves to the left, showing that the
destination is to your left. The CDI’s range shows in the upper left corner.
The default is 0.25 mile. The dots at the far right and left side of the CDI
represent 0.25 mile. If the line is on either of these dots, then you are 0.25
miles off course. Remember , if the bar mov es to the left, then you are too
far to the
right
of the desired course line, and vice-versa. On the indicator
shown above , we are almost 0.2 mile to the left of the desired course. You
can adjust the CDI’s range through the “ALARMS/CDI” menu.
Using the CDI with the plotter helps you visualize your position in relation
to the course. The CDI is on se v er al of the Expedition’s windows.
9
Plotter
The plotter lets you see your course and trac k from
a “birds-eye” view. If you’ve recalled a waypoint,
the plotter show your starting location, present
position, and destination. Ho wev er, y ou don’t have
to recall a waypoint to use the plotter.
To use the plotter, simply press the PAGES key,
then press the up or down arrow keys until the
“Plot” label is highlighted. Press the EXIT key to
erase the pages 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 plot trail, or path
you’ve tra velled. The plotter’s range is sho wn in the lower left corner of the
screen. In this e xample, the plotter’ s range is two miles from the left edge
of the screen to the right.
There are two different plotter screens available. Plot screen number 1
shows by default. Your current position displa ys at the center of the screen
as a cross surrounded by a flashing diamond.
T o vie w the other plotter screen, press the P AGES
key. Press the up or do wn arrow key to move the
black bo x to the "PLOT" label. Now press the right
arrow or left arrow ke y to select plot-2. This screen
(as shown at right) has navigation data display ed
at the bottom of the screen in digital numbers. This
data is active whenev er you’ve recalled a wa ypoint.
Press the EXIT key to erase the menu.
This screen shows bearing to waypoint (BRG),
distance to waypoint (DIS), ground speed (GS),
and track (TRK).
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, and 2000 miles.
Cursor
Pressing an arrow key while the plotter is on sho ws tw o dotted lines that
intersect at your present position. These dotted lines are called a “cursor”
and have a variety of uses.
10
You can move the cursor around the display by
pressing the arrow keys in the direction y ou w ant
it to move. This lets you vie w different areas of the
plotter, a way from y our 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, an ywhere
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 Expedition lets you customize the plotter (including saving plotter trails) using the “Plotter Options” menu. To use this menu, first press
the MENU key, then use the up or down arrow
keys to highlight the “Plotter Options” label. Finally , press the right arrow ke y . The screen sho wn
at right appears.
Plotter Orientation
Normally , the Eagle Expedition sho ws 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 tr avelling due north. W aypoints you see
to your left corresponds to the left side of the plotter , to y our right shows
on the right side of the plotter, and so on. How ev er , if you tr av el any other
direction, the plotter doesn’t line up with your view of the w orld.
To correct this problem, the Eagle Expedition 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 the top of the ne xt page, we're tra velling southeast (about 150° magnetic). In the north-up view, the present position
indicator appears to move towards the lower right corner of the screen.
The anchor icon shown on the right side of the screen is actually on our
left. North is always at the top center of this screen.
11
In the track-up view, the present position symbol (which has changed to
an arrow) mov es straight tow ards the top of the displa y. As y ou can see,
the anchor icon is now shown in its proper orientation - to our left. 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
NORTH-UP MODE COURSE-UP MODE
TRACK-UP MODE
direction. It alwa ys k eeps y our direction of tr avel (track) heading towards
the top of the screen.
In the course-up mode, the screen is locked into y our original bearing to
the recalled waypoint, regardless of your track.
To select the desired mode, highlight the “ROTATE” label on the “Plotter
Options” menu, then press the left or right arrow keys until the desired
mode appears. Press the EXIT key to leave this menu
Clear Current Plot Trail
To erase the plot trail, highlight the “ClearTrail” label on the Plotter Options 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 Expedition returns to the plotter screen with
the plot trail erased from the screen.
Save Plot Trail
The Expedition automatically saves your current plot tr ail in memory when
you turn it off. It can sa v e two other tr ails f or a total of three . To save your
current plot trail into a memory location, press the MENU key, then highlight the ”Plotter Options” menu and press the right arrow ke y. No w highlight the “Save Trail” menu and press the right arrow key. The screen
shown at the top of the next page appears.
12
Use the up or down arrow key to highlight the
desired trail number, then press the right arrow
key to sav e the current tr ail. A message appears,
asking if you really want to save this trail. Follow
the directions on the screen. After you’ve saved
the trail, press the EXIT key to erase the plot trail
save menu.
Recall Plot Trail
Once you’ve sa ved a plot trail, you’ll want to sho w
it on the plotter screen. To do this, highlight the
“T rails Shown” menu on the “Plotter Options” menu
and press the right arrow key. A screen similar to
the on shown below right appears.
The first menu item lets you turn the current plot
trail off or on again. If you turn the current trail off,
the plotter’s present position icon will continue to
move on the screen, b ut a trail will not be sho wn.
To recall a saved trail, highlight “Trail 1” or “Trail
2”, then press the right arrow key. Press the EXIT
key repeatedly until all menus are erased. The
recalled trail will be displayed on the plotter screen.
Note: You may need to scroll over to the saved
trail or zoom out to see it if you are some distance
away from it.
Grid Lines
The Eagle Expedition can place grid lines on the
plotter to help you see your position, or the position of waypoints and icons.
T o do this , highlight the “Grid” label on the “Plotter
Options” menu, then press the right arrow key to
turn them on. Press the EXIT key to e xit this menu.
A plotter screen similar to the one at right appears. The grid lines appear as vertical and horizontal dashed lines.
13
GRID LINES
Plotter Update
The plotter places a dot on your trail as y ou 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 Options” label on the
“Plotter Options” menu, then press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.
If you want to change the update time or distance,
simply highlight either the “Update By” label, then
press the right or left arrow key. To change the
update time or distance, highlight the “UPDT RATE” (time) or the “UPDT
DIST” (distance) label, then press the left or right arrow keys until the
desired setting appears. Press the EXIT k e y to er ase this menu.
ICONS
The Eagle Expedition has fifteen symbols or “icons” available. These icons
can be placed anywhere on the plotter screens. These can be used to
mark fishing or hunting spots, boat ramps, rest stops, or whatever. You
can place an icon at your present position, or at the cursor’s location.
Place Icon - Present Position
To place an icon at your present position, simply press the ENT key. The

WAYPOINTS
The Eagle Expedition gives you the capability of creating your o wn database of locations, called “wa ypoints”. Y ou can sa ve y our present position,
cursor position, or enter a latitude/longitude and save it as a waypoint.
The Eagle Expedition can store up to 750 waypoints.
Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint
(Quick Save Method)
To save your present position, simply press the
WPT key
twice
. The Eagle Expedition puts your
current position into the first available waypoint
number on the list. A message appears on the
display telling you the wa ypoint number it just used.
This also momentarily places you in the database
menu. Anytime a database menu is showing, simply press the WPT k ey once and the unit will store
your present position in the waypoint list.
Every time you sav e a waypoint, the date and time
are logged along with the position data. It’s position is also placed on the plotter as shown abov e.
In this case, waypoint number one w as assigned
when we quick-saved our position.
Saving The Cursor Position as a Waypoint
When the cursor is showing on the plotter and
you press the WPT key twice, the Eagle Expedition puts the
cursor’s
position into the first available waypoint number. In the example screen
shown at right, 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.
(See the screen at the top of the next page.) A
message appears on the display telling you the
20
waypoint number it just used. Wait a f ew seconds
and the menu will clear automatically. Press the
EXIT key to erase the cursor.
Saving Y our Present Position as a Wa ypoint

Now press the down arrow key until the “WPT Options” label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one shown at right appears.
Highlight the “SaveWPT As” label (shown at the
bottom of the menu) and press the right arrow
key when y ou’ re at the location you wish to sav e.
This saves your present position under the waypoint number you selected on the first page.
Saving Cursor Position as a Waypoint
(Select Number Method)
To save the cursor position under a specific waypoint number, first position the cursor at the de-
21
sired position. Then follo w the previous instructions for saving y our present
position as a waypoint using the select number method. Remember, the
method
of saving your present position and the cursor’ s position is identi-
cal.
Edit Lat/Lon
The Eagle Expedition lets you enter any latitude/
longitude using the keyboard and save it under
any wa ypoint number , from 1 to 750. You can also
change any waypoint’ s position using this method.
To do this, first select the waypoint number that
you want to save a position under from the waypoint menu. In this example, we’ll use waypoint
number 10. Next, highlight the “Options” menu and
press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Edit
Lat/Lon” menu and press the right arrow k ey. The
screen shown at right appears. Using the left and

navigate to a waypoint. On the plotter screen shown on the previous
page, the diamond with a cross in it is your present position. The bo x 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 waypoint 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 y ou follow the track line, you’ll
reach the destination, covering the shortest distance in the least time.
CAUTION!
The Eagle Expedition does NOT take land features, altitudes, restricted

the right arrow key to select it.
GLL, RMC/RMB, APB, GGA, GSA/GSV
Sentences
Some equipment requires different sentence. The
Eagle Expedition’s default setting for these sentences is on. In other words, it automatically sends these sentences when
NMEA is turned on. To turn any of these off, move the black box to the
desired menu and press the left arrow key. Press the EXIT key when
everything on this screen is the wa y you want it.
DGPS
The Eagle Expedition will recognize Starlink® and Magnavo x® automatic
DGPS receivers. If you have either one of these receivers, simply highlight the “Star DGPS” or “Magn DGPS” on the NMEA / DGPS menu and
press the right arrow key to turn it on. (Note: If y ou
have a Magna vo x DGPS receiver connected, the
Eagle Expedition can’t send NMEA data.) With
the exception of serial communications, typically
no other setup needs to be made with these receivers.
If you hav e an y other Magna v ox or Starlink compatible DGPS receiver connected to the Eagle
Expedition, you may need to change the settings.
To do this, move the black box to the “Configure
DGPS” label and press the right arrow key. A
screen similar to the one at right appears.

highlight the “System Info” label on the “System
Setup” menu. Now press the right arrow key. A
screen similar to the one at right appears. Press
the EXIT key when you’re finished reading this
screen.
35
GPS SETUP
The GPS Setup menu has sub-menus that affect
the GPS receiver . From these men us you can set
the update rate, initialize the GPS receiver, do a
self-test on the receiver , and do a cold-start. (Note:
The “Initialize GPS receiver” is covered in the
“Finding Your Position” section in the front of this
manual.
To view these menu items, press the MENU key,
then highlight the “GPS Setup” menu. Press the
right arrow key. The screen at right appears.
GPS Cold Start
When the Eagle Expedition 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’v e 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
the receiver. For example, if you entered east longitude instead of west.
Or if you’ve mov ed a long distance with the unit turned off.
To send a cold star t message to the receiver, highlight the “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 k eep the correct
time, ev en when the unit is turned off. The GPS system updates this cloc k
when the unit is locked on to the satellites.
36
Position Format
The Eagle Expedition 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 sho w
position in UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator)
projection, British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish,
and Military Grid systems.
T o change the position f ormat, highlight the “Position Format” label on the “GPS Setup” menu
(shown on the previous page), then press the right
arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
UTM’s are marked on USGS topogr aphic charts.
This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each
6 degrees wide in longitude. Their unit of measure is in meters. For example, 15N means that
the position shown to the right of the “15N” is in
zone 15, and it’ s north of the equator.
British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, and Finnish grid systems are the national coordinate system used only
in their respective countries.
Note: In order to use either the British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, or Finnish grid systems, you m ust be
in the respective country.
The Expedition will pick the matching datum for
you when you select the grid. See the Datums
section for more information.
37
The Expedition can use the military grid reference system (MGRS). It uses tw o grid lettering
schemes, which are referred to as standard and
alternate MGRS on the Expedition. Your 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.
Press the up or down arrow ke ys to highlight the
desired position format. Press the EXIT key to
both select the format and erase the position format menu.
DATUM
Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area that’s cov ered by the
map or chart. These surve ys 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 Expedition sho ws your
position on the map using the WGS-84 datum. How ev er, it can sho w 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 key. Now highlight the “Select Datum” label. Finally , press the right arrow k ey again.
A screen similar to the one at right appears.
The WGS-84 label is highlighted. T o 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. To erase the menu without changing the
datum, simply press the EXIT key.
A list of the datums used by the Expedition is in the back of this manual.
38
PCF (Position Correction Factor)
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 displays at
all times.
Remember, the position error on an y radio na vigation system is very dynamic and the PCF offset should never be used in an attempt to cancel
the error.
In general terms, PCF should only be used if your map indicates what the
possible error is. PCF should always be reset to zero when 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 minutes east of the one on the chart and .047 minutes north latitude. Using
the PCF feature, y ou can make the Eagle Expedition match the chart you’re using. If you mov e, the
unit will continuously add the change to all position, navigation, and mapping displays . This makes
it more closely match the datum used by the chart.
For this reason, you should be careful when entering the PCF offset. It’s saved in memory and
doesn’t change when the unit is turned off. Ho wever, 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 abov e right appears.
Now enter the correction for y our location. Remember, this is the difference between the location
shown on the present position display and the position shown on the chart. In this example , we entered 0 degrees, 0.047 minutes north latitude and
0 degrees, 0.244 minutes east longitude. That is
the difference between the present position sho wn
by the Eagle Expedition and the one on our chart.
39
After you’ve entered the latitude/longitude correction, press the ENT ke y
to accept it. The Eagle Expedition 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 extremely low
speeds, it can have trouble determining your
course over ground, or direction y ou’ 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 b y the government.
This cause wide variations in the track displa y and
other navigation displays when using the unit at
slow speeds.
If you’re using the Eagle Expedition without DGPS
and stop, the position pinning 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
“wandering” plot trail seen when y ou’re stopped with position pinning turned
off. This also affects the navigational displa ys.
The easiest way to see the eff ects of S/A is to stand still with the Expedition 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 e y.
ALARMS
The Eagle Expedition has several alarms. You can set an arrival alarm to
flash a warning message 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 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 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.
40
To use any of these alarms, first press the MENU
key, then select the “ALARMS/CDI” menu. A
screen similar to the one shown at right appears.
Press the up or down arrow key to mo ve the blac k
box to the desired alarm, then press the right arrow ke y to turn it on.
T o adjust an alarm’ s distance, mov e the black bo x
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 men u.
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 y ou have a DGPS beacon receiver connected
to the Eagle Expedition, smaller ranges may be usable .
Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm’s distance to a small number ,
and you run a route (see the routes section), the Eagle Expedition may
not show navigation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the
first one, since you may not be able to come close enough to the first
waypoint to trip the arrival alarm.
MESSAGES
The position and DGPS message selections are found on the Alarms/
CDI menu. When turned on, the position message appears for a f ew seconds whenever the Eagle Expedition loc ks 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”. T o turn either message off ,
select the “Setup Alarms” menu from the main men u, then move the blac k
box to the desired message and press the left arrow k ey. Press the EXIT
key to erase this screen.
41
SIMULATOR
A simulator is built into the Eagle Expedition that
has several options . Y ou can use nearly all of the
unit’s features - even save and recall waypoints.
This is useful for trip planning.
To use the simulator, press the MENU key, then
press the up or down arrow ke ys until the “Simulator Setup” menu is surrounded b y the black box.
Now press the right arrow key. The screen shown
at right appears.
If you simply press the right arrow key, turning the
simulator on, the Eagle Expedition will start from
your present position and follo w a track of 355° at
100 miles per hour.
To change either the track or speed, highlight the
one you want to change, then press the right or
left arrow key. When the numbers are correct,
press the EXIT key.
Starting Position
Normally , the starting position for the simulator is
your present position. If you want to change the
starting position, highlight the “Set Starting Waypoint” label on the Simulator Setup menu, then
press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.
You can select any waypoint as the simulator’s starting point. Select the
starting point by pressing the right arrow key on the “WPT#” label until the
desired starting waypoint number appears. Now
highlight the “Start At” label and press the right
arrow key. The Eagle Expedition retur ns to the
Simulator Setup menu using the waypoint you
specified as the starting waypoint.
Use Arrow Ke ys to Steer
This option lets you change both the course and
speed on the screen as the simulator is running.
To do this, highlight the “Steer With Arrows” label
on the Simulator Setup screen, then press the right
arrow key . The screen shown at right appears. Use
the up and down arrow keys to increase or de-
42
crease the speed. Use the right and left arrow keys to change the track.
Press the EXIT key to erase these men us .
When you’re finished changing the track and speed, press the EXIT key
to erase the menus.
T o turn the simulator off , press the MENU key, then move the blac k box to
the “Simulator Setup” label. Finally, press the left arro w ke y.
Note: Your plot trail will be erased when you turn the simulator on or off.
