WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.
Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar and GPS! We know you are anxious to begin navigating and finding fish, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the unit and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best performance from your compact, color display, combination fish finder and mapping GPS receiver.
After you have gained some experience with your sonar, you will want to check out Section 4, which discusses more advanced Sonar Options and Other Features. When you come to a sonar menu command on the unit's screen, you can look it up in the manual by skimming over the table of contents, just flipping through Section 3 or scanning through the sonar options in Section 4. If you're having difficulty with your sonar, you can find an answer to the most common problems in Section 5, Sonar Troubleshooting.
It's important to us and our power users, but if you don't care how many watts of power the unit has or how many waypoints it can store, skip ahead to important information on how sonar works on page 5.

chart. The sonar's microprocessor calculates the time lapse between the transmitted signal and echo return to determine the distance to the object. The whole process repeats itself several times each second. Your unit can record a log of the sonar signals that scroll across the screen and save them to the MMC memory card. (These recordings are also called sonar charts or sonar graphs.
making software, MapCreate 6 or one of our special plug-and-play mapping cards. Some unit features — such as searching for businesses and addresses — won't work without a custom MapCreate map. There is so much detail in our background map (and even more in MapCreate) that we'll describe their contents and differences in Section 3, Basic GPS Operations, on page 96.
so you can mount your unit and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tutorials easy to skim. If that's the case, move on to How to Use This Manual on page 11. But, if you want to understand the current state of satellite navigation, look over this segment describing how GPS and its new companion WAAS work together to get you where you're going. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched July 17, 1995 by the United States Department of Defense.
Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencies. These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an automobile roof, even your body. Like most GPS receivers, this unit does not have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites to calculate a position.
of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your destination, for example. It’s up to you to safely navigate around obstacles, no matter how you’re using this product. Free Training Aids Available Now that you know something about the technology that makes this unit possible, you are ready to start learning how to use that technology! This manual will guide you through the process of setting up and running your unit, but that is only one of many resources available.
The emulator works exactly like your real sonar/GPS unit. When using the Sonar and GPS Simulators you can play back sonar logs, run GPS routes and trails, even create real waypoints you can use in the field. You can take snapshots of the Sonar Chart and print them or e-mail them to friends. And that is just some of the material available on our web site. To find out what we have available, go to WWW.EAGLESONAR.COM and look around. For now, we'll get back to how to use this particular unit.
For example, instructions for navigating a trail would look like this: 1. From the Map Page, press MENU|MENU|↓ to MY TRAILS|ENT. 2. Press ↓ to Trail 1|ENT|→ to NAVIGATE|ENT. 3. You are asked to wait while it converts the trail into a route. 4. The wait message disappears and the unit begins showing navigation information along the trail. Now, begin moving and follow your unit's directions. Translated into complete English, step 1 above would mean: "Start on the Map Page. Press the Menu key twice.
Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the unit in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drilling any holes in your vessel! 1. Determine the approximate location for the unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the transducer, any sensor and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the desired configuration. 2.
Remember, transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation. Recommended Tools and Supplies If you prefer the option of routing the cable through the transom, you will need a 5/8" drill bit. (If you intend to install an additional speed or temp sensor and route its cable through the same hole in the transom, you will need a 1" (25.4 mm) drill bit to accommodate all the cables.
typically have large outboard motors capable of propelling the boat at speeds faster than 35 mph. Typically, a good transom location on aluminum boats is between the ribs closest to the engine. 3. The transducer should be installed with its face pointing straight down, if possible. For shoot-thru applications: Many popular fishing boat hulls have a flat keel pad that offers a good mounting surface. On vee hulls, try to place the transducer where the deadrise is 10° or less.
Transom Transom Transducer centerline Hull bottom Hull bottom Align transducer centerline with hull bottom. A dual frequency transducer (left) and a single frequency transducer (right). There, however, are times when you may need to adjust the transducer slightly higher or lower. (The slots in the mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the transducer up or down.
Second, the transducer angle cannot be adjusted for the best fish arches on your sonar display. (This is not an issue for flasher-style sonars.) Lack of angle adjustment can be particularly troublesome on hulls that sit with the bow high when at rest or at slow trolling speeds. Third, a transducer CAN NOT shoot through wood and metal hulls. Those hulls require either a transom mount or a thru-hull installation.
ing illustrations. Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet. Place the ratchets into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the alignment mark molded into the bracket. Place the ratchets onto the transducer with the letter "A" aligned with the 12 o'clock position on the transducer stem. These positions set the transducer's coarse angle adjustment for a 14° transom. Most outboard and stern-drive transoms have a 14° angle.
Reassemble the transducer and bracket and place them against the transom. Again, check to see if you can move the transducer so it's parallel with the ground. If you can, then go to step 3A. If it doesn't, repeat step 2A, but use a different alignment letter until you can place the transducer on the transom correctly. Ratchets Insert bolt and check transducer position on transom. B. Two-piece bracket: Assemble the transducer and bracket as shown in the following figure.
3. Assembling the transducer. A. One-piece bracket: Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the following figure. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time. Metal washer Nut Rubber washers Metal washer Bolt Assemble transducer and bracket. B. Two-piece bracket: Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the figure in step 2B. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time. 4. Drilling mounting holes.
5. Attaching transducer to transom. A. One-piece bracket: Remove the transducer from the bracket and reassemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown in the following figures. For single-frequency Skimmer, route cable over bolt and through bracket. Side view shown (left) and seen from above (right). Both bracket types: Attach the transducer to the transom.
WARNING: Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the transducer. This can prevent the transducer from entering the boat if it is knocked off at high speed. If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through, the required hole size will be 5/8". Caution: If you drill a hole in the transom for the cable, make sure it is located above the waterline.
Transducer mounted on trolling motor, side view. Transducer Orientation and Fish Arches If you do not get good fish arches on your display, it could be because the transducer is not parallel with the ground when the boat is at rest in the water or at slow trolling speeds. Partial fish arches Transducer aimed too far back Transducer aimed too far forward Full fish arch Proper transducer angle Transducer angles and their effects on fish arches.
Shoot-Thru-Hull Preparation Hulls With Flotation Materials The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an area that does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglass layers. The sonar signal must pass through solid fiberglass. A successful transducer installation can be made on hulls with flotation materials (such as plywood, balsa wood or foam) between layers of fiberglass if the material is removed from the chosen area. See the figure below.
Transducer location (high speed) Transducer location (trolling speed) Shoot-thru-hull transducer locations for high speed or trolling speed operation. To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.) 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water. Add a little water to the sump of the boat. Plug the transducer into the sonar unit, turn it on, then hold the transducer over the side of the boat in the water.
If you can't get an acceptable bottom signal, try turning up the sensitivity by three or five keystrokes and then move the transducer around once more. If you find a spot that works, mark it and move on to step 4. If you have to turn up sensitivity by more than five keystrokes to get a good signal, the transducer should be mounted on the outside of the hull. This is especially true if you have to turn sensitivity all the way up to get a decent bottom signal. 4.
Spread epoxy here Sand this surface (unit's face) Orient the Skimmer with the nose facing the bow of the boat. To bow Epoxy transducer to hull. WARNING: Use only the epoxy available from LEI. It has been formulated to work with these installation procedures. Other epoxy types may be too thin or may not cure to the right consistency for optimum transducer performance. 2. The epoxy consists of the epoxy itself and a hardener. Remove the two compounds from the package and place them on the paper plate.
5. After the epoxy has cured, route the cable to the sonar unit and it's ready to use. Speed/Temperature Sensors This unit can accept as many as two temperature sensors, which can be used to monitor the temperature of surface water, a live well or some other location. These units can also accept an optional speed sensor for showing speed and distance traveled. However, you can only use one accessory at a time.

GPS antenna Sonar unit with external temp sensor, external speed sensor, or combo speed/temp sensor. The primary temperature sensor is built into the transducer.
Once you have determined the proper location for the unit, place the sensor on the transom. The bottom of the bracket should be flush with the hull's bottom. Using the sensor as a template, mark the hull for the screw's pilot holes. Drill four 1/8" holes, one in each end of the slots. Mount the sensor to the hull using #8 stainless steel wood screws (not included). Use a high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline sealant compound to seal the screws.
Power Connections The unit works from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it's safer to go ahead and attach the power cable directly to the battery. Caution: When using the unit in a saltwater environment, we strongly recommend that you shut off the power supply to the power cable when the unit is not in use.
WARNING: This product must be independently fused with the enclosed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to a fused accessory or power buss. If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive damage can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used. As with all electrical devices, this unit could be damaged to a point that it is unrepairable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused.
work well if you have a cab-over design pickup truck camper or motor home. If dashboard reception is poor, simply relocate the antenna module elsewhere on the vehicle for a clearer view of the sky. NMEA Cable Connections NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equipment. For example, an autopilot can connect to the NMEA interface on the SeaCharter 640cDF and receive positioning information.
gimbal bracket to a swivel mount, which can be used on the dash or overhead mounting positions. Optional R-A-M mounting system. Bracket Installation Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and transducer cables. (A drawing on the next page shows the dimensions of a gimbal-mounted unit.
Front Install the gimbal bracket. Position the bracket so the arms slope toward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat installation. Some customers prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the cable hole. It's a matter of personal preference.
Pass the power cable's bare-wire end down though the hole from the top. If you want, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good marine sealant compound. (Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to conceal the opening.) No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the unit. If you choose to fill in the hole, be sure to position the cables against the rear edge of the hole as you apply the fill material.
Portable Installation Like many Eagle products, this unit is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack (PPP). The power pack and an optional portable transducer expand the uses for your sonar unit. The PPP makes it easy to use the unit on your boat or take it to the dock, on a float tube, on an ice fishing trip or use it as a second sonar in a friend's boat. Most LEI portable power packs can be used with eight "D" cell alkaline batteries.
Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras. See ordering information inside the back cover of this manual. MMCs and SD cards are also available at many camera and consumer electronics stores. The MMC slot is located in a compartment on the front of the case. The compartment door is located at the lower right corner. The following figure shows a close-up with the door opened.

Section 3: Basic Sonar Operation This section addresses the unit's most basic sonar operations. The instructions presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Sonar Options & Other Features, will discuss other more advanced functions and utilities. Material in Sec. 4 is arranged in alphabetical order. Before you turn on the sonar unit, it is a good idea to learn about the different keys, the Main Menu, the four Page screens and how they all work together.
4. ARROW KEYS – These keys are used to navigate through menus, make menu selections, move the map and sonar chart cursors and enter data. 5. ENT/ICONS – The Enter key allows you to save data, accept values and execute menu commands. It is also used to create event marker icons. 6. EXIT – The Exit key lets you return to the previous screen, clear data or close a menu. 7. WPT – The Waypoint key is used to save and recall waypoints, search for waypoints and access the waypoint list.
You can access the Main Menu from any of the four Page screens by pressing MENU|MENU. To clear the menu screen and return to the page display, press EXIT. Remember: our text style for "MENU|MENU" means "press the Menu key twice." See a full explanation of our instruction text formatting on page 11, How to use this manual. Main Menu. The Main Menu commands and their functions are: Screen: changes the contrast or brightness of the display screen.

You can customize how the Sonar Page displays its pictures and other data in many ways. Your unit also includes several special sonar features and options that can help you better interpret the underwater scene. We will discuss all of those features and options in Sec. 4, but to show you how easy this unit is to operate, the following page contains a, 10step quick reference that will cover most fish finding situations.
Basic Sonar Quick Reference 1. Mount the transducer, antenna and unit. Connect the unit to electric power and the transducer. (If GPS operation is desired, connect GPS antenna, too.) Make sure the MMC is in. (See complete installation details beginning on page 6.) 2. Launch your boat. 3. To turn on the unit, press and release PWR key. 4. Opening screen displays Map Page.
Sonar Operations As you can see from the quick reference, basic operation is pretty easy, right out of the box. If you are a sonar novice, try operating the unit with the default settings until you get a feel for how it is working. As you are learning the basics, there is one setting you might want to tinker with from time to time — Sensitivity. Sensitivity controls the unit's ability to pick up echoes. If you want to see more detail, try increasing the sensitivity, a little at a time.
Adjusting sensitivity in Auto Sensitivity Mode is similar to manually adjusting a car's speed with the accelerator pedal while cruise control is on. You can tell the car to run faster, but when you let off the gas the cruise control automatically keeps you from running slower than the minimum speed setting. In the unit, auto mode will let you increase sensitivity to 100 percent, but the unit will limit your minimum setting.
SENSITIVITY|ENT|↑ to SENSITIVITY|ENT. Press ↓ ↑ to pick a different sensitivity setting. When it is set at the desired level, press EXIT. Tip: While you are experimenting and learning, it is possible to scramble the settings so the sonar picture disappears from your screen. If that happens, remember it is easy to switch back to full automatic operation by restoring the default settings. To Restore Default Settings: 1. Press MENU|MENU|↓ to SYSTEM SETUP|ENT|↓ to RESET OPTIONS|ENT. 2.
Section 4: Sonar Options & Features ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) The ASP feature is a noise rejection system built into the sonar unit that constantly evaluates the effects of boat speed, water conditions and interference. This automatic feature gives you the best display possible under most conditions. The ASP feature is an effective tool in combating noise. In sonar terms, noise is any undesired signal.
Alarms This unit has three types of sonar alarms. The first is the Fish Alarm. It sounds when the Fish I.D. feature determines that an echo is a fish. Another alarm is the Zone Alarm, which consists of a bar on the side of the screen. Any echo on the chart that appears inside this bar triggers this alarm. The last alarm is the Depth Alarm, which has both a Shallow and a Deep setting. Only the bottom signal will trigger this alarm. This is useful as an anchor watch, a shallow water alert or for navigation.
3. Press ↑ ↓ to change the first number, then press → to move the cursor to the next number and repeat until the depth is correct. Press ENT. 4. Press ← to SHALLOW ALARM ENABLED|ENT. To turn on the alarm, highlight the SHALLOW ALARM ENABLED box and press ENT. To adjust and turn on the deep alarm: 1. From the Sonar Alarms menu, press ↓ to DEEP ALARM ENABLED|→ to DEEP ALARM DEPTH|ENT. 2.
Fish Alarm Use the fish alarm for a distinctive audible alarm when fish or other suspended objects are detected by the Fish I.D. feature. Fish I.D. must be turned on for the Fish Alarm to work. A different tone sounds for each fish symbol size shown on the display. Sonar Alarms menu with Fish Alarm selected. The check box to the left is blank, indicating the alarm is turned off. To turn on the fish alarm: 2. From the Sonar Alarms, press ↓ to FISH ALARM|ENT. 3.
Chart Speed The rate echoes scroll across the screen is called chart speed. The default is maximum. We recommend you keep the default setting for most all fishing conditions. You may consider experimenting with chart speed when you are stationary or drifting slowly. Sometimes the unit will display better images when chart speed is adjusted to match the speed of your boat. If you are at anchor, ice fishing or fishing from a dock, experiment with a chart speed around 50 percent.
For example, a soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is shown with a narrow, colored line (dark blue tinged with red or a little yellow.) Since fish are among the weakest echoes, they show up mostly as blue arches. A hard bottom or other relatively hard target returns a strong signal which causes a wider brightly colored line (reddish yellow to bright yellow.
Wider ColorLine Thin or no ColorLine A little ColorLine (left) indicates a soft bottom, probably sand or mud. Wider ColorLine (right) indicates a harder, rocky bottom. Customize Page Displays Every Page display with digital data boxes may be customized to provide on-screen information. The data is divided into categories in the Customize menu. These categories include GPS Data, Navigation, Trip Calculator, Time, Sonar Data and Sensor Data.
Digital Data box containing Water Temp is highlighed (left). Data Viewer with GPS Data and Navigation categories expanded (right). Selecting the category name and pressing ENT will bring up the category's contents.. An expanded category (one with a "-" next to its name) can be collapsed to hide its contents and make more room on your screen. Just select the category name and press ENT. Expand any categories that may contain information you want to display. Then press ↓ ↑ to select a display option.
The cursor can be moved to any location on the screen, letting you pinpoint the depth of a target. 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU|↓ to DEPTH CURSOR|ENT. 2. The depth cursor appears. Press ↓ to lower the cursor line. Press ↑ to raise the cursor line. 3. To clear the depth cursor, press EXIT. Depth Range - Automatic When turned on for the first time, the bottom signal is placed in the lower half of the screen. This is called Auto Ranging, an automatic function.
3. Press ↓ ↑ to select a different depth range. A horizontal blue bar highlights the selected range. 4. When the new range is selected, press EXIT to close the menu. NOTE: The sonar's depth capability depends on the transducer installation, water and bottom conditions and other factors. FasTrack This feature automatically converts all echoes to short horizontal lines on the right side of the display. The graph on the rest of the screen continues to operate normally.
The sonar's microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can not distinguish between fish and other suspended objects such as trotlines, turtles, submerged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending outwards from a group of limbs is the hardest object for the Fish I.D. feature to distinguish from fish. You may see fish symbols on the screen when actually, there are no fish. The reverse is also true. The images on the next page show how Fish I.D.
To turn on FishTrack: NOTE: These steps turn on FishTrack and Fish I.D. at the same time. 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU|↓ to SONAR FEATURES|ENT. 2. Press → ↓ to FISH DEPTHS|ENT|EXIT|EXIT. To turn off FishTrack, repeat the instructions in step 1. Turning off FishTrack in this manner will not turn off Fish I.D. symbols.

NOTE: The Customize and Overlay Data commands use the same information categories. The difference between the two commands is Customize changes only the data in digital data boxes and Overlay Data changes information floating on the screen. To change displayed data font size: 1.
you change the Ping Speed to any setting greater than 50 percent, the unit automatically enters HyperScroll mode. These faster ping rates allow you to maintain a high-detail picture on the screen. The ping rate helps the screen refresh rate and chart scroll speed keep pace with the speed of the boat. When using HyperScroll, you may also need to manually decrease the sensitivity for optimum performance.
This allows you to better see sonar returns, just as you would on a flasher sonar unit. For more information on FasTrack, see its entry in this section. Reset Options This command is used to reset all features, options and settings to their factory defaults. This is useful when you have changed several settings and want to return the unit to the settings it had right out of the box. 1. Press MENU|MENU|↓ to SYSTEM SETUP|ENT|↓ to RESET OPTIONS|ENT. 2. Press ← to YES|ENT. 3.
Set Keel Offset This unit measures water depth from the face of the transducer. Since the transducer is installed below the water surface, the distance displayed by the digital depth, chart depth scale, chart cursor or fish symbols is not the exact water depth. If the transducer is 1 foot below the surface, and the screen shows the water depth as 30 feet, then the actual depth is 31 feet.

Section 5: Sonar Troubleshooting If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit for repair. For contact information, refer to the last page, just inside the back cover of this manual. Unit won't turn on: 1. Check the power cable's connection at the unit. Also check the wiring. 2. Make sure the power cable is wired properly.
3. The water may be deeper than the sonar's ability to find the bottom. If the sonar can't find the bottom signal while it's in the automatic mode, the digital sonar display will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far greater than the water you are in. If this happens, place the unit in the manual mode, then change the range to a realistic one, (for example, 0-100 feet) and increase the sensitivity. As you move into shallower water, a bottom signal should appear. 4.
To eliminate or minimize the effects of electrical noise, first try to determine the cause. With the boat at rest in the water, the first thing you should do is turn all electrical equipment on the boat off. Make sure the engine is also off. Turn your sonar on, then turn off Noise Reject [also known as the ASP feature (Advanced Signal Processing)]. Sensitivity should be set at 90-95 percent. There should be a steady bottom signal on the display.

Section 6: Basic GPS Operations This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tutorials presented in Sec. 6 follow a chronological order. Sec. 7, Advanced GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utilities. Material in Sec. 7 is arranged in alphabetical order. Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the four Page screens and how they all work together.
4. ARROW KEYS – The arrow keys are used to navigate through menus, enter data, make menu selections, move the map cursor and sonar chart cursor. 5. ENT/ICONS – The Enter key allows you to save data, accept values or execute menu commands. It is also used to create event marker icons. 6. EXIT – The Exit key lets you return to the previous screen, clear data or close a menu. 7. WPT – The Waypoint key is used to save and recall waypoints, search for waypoints and access the waypoint list.
Main Menu. The Main Menu commands and their functions are: Screen: changes the contrast or brightness of the display screen. Sounds: enables or disables the sounds for key strokes and alarms and sets the alarm style. Transparency: adjusts the level of transparency for menus. Alarms: turns GPS or sonar alarms on or off and changes alarm thresholds. Route Planning: used to plan, view or navigate a route. My Trails: shows, hides, creates and deletes plot trails. Also used to navigate or backtrack a trail.
Pages The unit has four Page displays: Satellite Status Page, Navigation Page, Map Page and Sonar Page. They are accessed by pressing the PAGES key, then using ← → to select a Page. Clear the Pages Menu by pressing EXIT. Map Page display options. Sonar Page The Sonar Page displays the sonar chart, a view of the water column from the surface to the bottom. The chart scrolls across the screen from right to left, displaying echoes that represent fish, structure and the bottom.
Satellite Status Page. The first figure (left) indicates unit has not locked on to any satellites and does not have a fix on its position. The second figure (right) shows satellite lock-on with a 3D position acquired (latitude, longitude and altitude), and WAAS reception. This screen shows a graphical view of the satellites in view. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead.
The Satellite Status Page has its own menu, which is used for setting various options. To access the Satellite Status Page Menu, from the Status Page, press MENU. Navigation Page This screen has a compass rose that not only shows your direction of travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. To get to the Navigation Page press PAGES|← → to NAVIGATION|EXIT. The navigation screen looks like the one below when you are not navigating to a waypoint or following a route or trail.
Speed is the velocity you are making over the ground. If you want, you can customize the Speed data box to display Closing Speed instead. Closing Speed is also known as velocity made good. It is the speed you are making toward the waypoint. For instructions, see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 8. Track is the heading or the current direction you are traveling. Bearing is the line-of-sight direction from your present position to the destination.
Travel Time is the time it will take to reach your destination at your present closing speed. You can also customize the time data box to show Arrival Time instead. Arrival Time is the local time it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your present closing speed and track. In the preceding figure, the driver is headed northwest (a 307º track) toward a waypoint 307º (bearing) away. The cross track error range (white corridor) is 0.20 miles either side of the course.
Map Page opening screen (left). Map zoomed to 100 miles (center). Map zoomed to 10 miles (right).
