WARNING!

USE THIS UNIT ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.

Never use this product while operating a vehicle.

CAUTION

When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when travelling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make certain a clear, safe path to the waypoint is always available.

The storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 to +75 degrees Celsius). Extended storage temperatures higher or lower than specified will cause the liquid crystal display to fail. Neither this type of failure nor its consequences are covered by the warranty. For more information, consult the factory customer service department.

All features and specifications subject to change without notice.

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 years.

GPS works from satellites that transmit information to the world at very high frequencies. One disadvantage to this frequency is that it’s “line-of- sight”. In other words, the signals don’t bounce around like your local radio or television. If you don’t have a clear view of the sky, or if you’re inside a 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 built into it. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to determine its position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all calculated from position information. Therefore, in order for it to determine the direction you’re travelling, you must be moving, and the faster - the better. This is not to say the unit won’t work at walking speeds - it will. But the faster you travel, the easier it is for the unit to determine your direction.

Another factor that influences the GPS’ position and navigation capabilities is called selective availability or S/A. This is small errors purposefully injected into the transmitted signal from the satellites. The government does this to degrade the system’s accuracy to civilian and foreign users. Even with S/A, GPS is the most accurate navigation system ever invented on such a large scale. The Government’s accuracy specification is 100 meters horizontally and 150 meters vertically 95% of the time. In other words, the position shown on your Eagle 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.

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 familiarize yourself with them before using the Eagle Expedition in the “real world”. A simulator is built in, which lets you practice.

INSTALLATION

The Expedition will operate from four AA batteries, one DURACELL® 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, for any reason, the external power fails, 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.

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 cable must 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 move the plotter’s cursor, navigate through the menus, make selections from menus, and other tasks.

PAGES

WPT

MENU	EXIT
ZOUT ZIN	ENT PWR

The WPT key lets you create, save, and recall waypoints and routes. The PAGES key switches the unit between the three major displays: windows, navigation, and plotter.To select different features, or to modify functions, press the MENU key. The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in and zoom-out your view on the plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys let you enter or erase selections. The PWR key turns both the Eagle Expedition and it’s lights on and off.

Note: To prevent an accidental power shutdown, you must hold the PWR key down for a few seconds in order to turn the unit off.

OPERATION

Turning Power On

To turn the Eagle 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 box 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 Your 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 you a position without any input from you. This is called a “cold-start”. It simply means that the unit is searching without help for the satellites that are in orbit. A coldstart can take over two minutes to acquire enough satellite data to determine your position, although it typically takes less time than that.

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. Anytime 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 “Position 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 Your Position

Initialization

A cold-start as described above can take over two minutes to find your position. A faster method is to initialize the Eagle Expedition manually. 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. Next, using the down arrow key, 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 values to your local position and time will speed the position lock.

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 move the change box to the first number in the latitude. Now press the up arrow key to increase the number or the down arrow key to decrease it. Once the first number in the latitude is set, press the right arrow key once to move to the next number in the latitude.

Keep pressing the arrow keys until the latitude and longitude are set to your local position. (Note:This position does not have to be very accurate. If you can get it within one degree of your actual position, that will be fine.) When it’s set, press the ENT key. The Expedition accepts your entry and returns to the GPS setup menu.

Now change the local time and date (if they’re incorrect) on this screen. (Don’t worry about altitude.) When everything is acceptable, press the EXIT key 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 available at the position, date, and time you entered.Therefore, it will only look for those satellites, making the search time much shorter than a cold start which looks for all of the satellites until it finds three.)

Once the Eagle 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 DATA STOPS

FLASHING!

POSITION/NAVIGATION 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 below.

NAV-1

PLOT-1

GROUP A

To change screens, simply press the PAGES key. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Now press the up or down arrow keys to change modes. (The windows display is shown 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 shows a graphical view of your trip, the other screen shows all navigation details in large digital numbers.You can customize the navigation screens to show different data than the ones chosen by Eagle. See the “Customize Screen” section for more details.

Eagle EXPEDITION INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 travel) is indicated by an arrow pointing down toward the compass rose at the top center of the screen.Your track in digital numbers is also shown to the right of the arrow. On the screen shown at right, the track is 167°. The line extending behind the arrow in the center shows your track history, or path you’ve travelled.

NAV-1

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 above 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.

The lines on either side of the present position arrow show the cross track error range. In other words, (using the screen above as an example) if the arrow crosses the line on either side, you are

.10 miles to the left or right of the desired course.

A circle depicting your destination appears on the screen as you approach the waypoint as shown on the screen at right.

The digital boxes 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

has nothing to do with your present position, except for your starting location.) It’s shown as a dotted line on the NAV 1 display. This is shown as a reminder so that if you deviate from your original course, you can easily return to it. (A “course” is a proposed path over the ground. A “track” is your actual path over ground.)

Nav Screen #2

This navigation screen shows navigation information 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 boxes 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 vertical line in the center of the box shows the direction to the destination.For example, if you’re travelling straight towards 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 moves 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 several of the Expedition’s windows.

Plotter

The plotter lets you see your course and track from a “birds-eye” view. If you’ve recalled a waypoint, the plotter show your starting location, present position, and destination. However, you don’t have to recall a waypoint to use the plotter.

To use the plotter, simply press the 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 po-

sition. The solid line extending from the diamond is your plot trail, or path you’ve travelled.The plotter’s range is shown in the lower left corner of the screen. In this example, 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 displays at the center of the screen as a cross surrounded by a flashing diamond.

To view the other plotter screen, press the PAGES key. Press the up or down arrow key to move the black box to the "PLOT" label. Now press the right arrow or left arrow key to select plot-2.This screen (as shown at right) has navigation data displayed at the bottom of the screen in digital numbers.This data is active whenever you’ve recalled a waypoint. 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 shows two dotted lines that intersect at your present position. These dotted lines are called a “cursor” and have a variety of uses.

You can move the cursor around the display by pressing the arrow keys in the direction you want it to move.This lets you view different areas of the plotter, away from your present position.When it’s turned on, the zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from the cursor’s position - not the present position, so you can zoom in on any detail, anywhere while navigating.The latitude/longitude of the cursor shows in the box at the top of the plot-1 screen whenever the cursor is activated. The cursor is also used to place and erase icons and waypoints.

Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor.

PLOTTER OPTIONS

The Eagle 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 key.The screen shown at right appears.

Plotter Orientation

Normally, the Eagle Expedition shows the plotter with north always at the top of the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on

paper.This is fine if you’re always travelling due north.Waypoints you see to your left corresponds to the left side of the plotter, to your right shows on the right side of the plotter, and so on. However, if you travel any other direction, the plotter doesn’t line up with your view of the world.

To correct this problem, the Eagle 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 next page, we're travelling 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.

In the track-up view, the present position symbol (which has changed to an arrow) moves straight towards the top of the display. As you 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

TRACK-UP MODE

COURSE-UP MODE

direction. It always keeps your direction of travel (track) heading towards the top of the screen.

In the course-up mode, the screen is locked into your 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 trail in memory when you turn it off. It can save two other trails for 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 key. Now highlight the “Save Trail” menu and press the right arrow key. The screen shown at the top of the next page appears.

Use the up or down arrow key to highlight the desired trail number, then press the right arrow key to save the current trail. 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 saved a plot trail, you’ll want to show it on the plotter screen. To do this, highlight the “Trails 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, but a trail will not be shown.

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.

To 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 exit this menu. A plotter screen similar to the one at right appears. The grid lines appear as vertical and horizontal dashed lines.

GRID LINES

Plotter Update

The plotter places a dot on your trail as you move. It determines when to place a dot depending on either time or distance. By default, it places a dot every three seconds.

To change the update method from time to distance, highlight the “Update 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 key to erase 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 screens shown below appear. Use the arrow keys to move the black box to the desired icon. Now press the ENT key again. The plotter screen appears with the icon you selected placed at your position when you first pressed the ENT key, not your present position.

Erase Icons

To erase an icon from the screen, first press the MENU key, then select the “WPT/Icon Options” menu. A screen similar to the one at right appears.

There are three methods used to erase icons from the screen. You can delete all of the icons, regardless of their position on the display, delete all of the icons of a certain type, or selectively erase individual icons. You can also simply turn all of the icons off without erasing them.

To turn all of the icons off, without erasing them, highlight the “ICONS OFF ON” label, then press the left arrow key. To erase all of the icons, high-

light the “DEL ALL ICONS” menu, then press the right arrow key. A message appears, asking you if you want to delete all icons. Press the right arrow key to erase them. The unit returns to the plotter screen with all icons deleted.
