  • Page 7: Section 1: Read Me First

    The manual is organized into 7 sections. This first section is an intro- duction to Eagle GPS. It tells you the basics you need to know before you can make the unit look around and tell you where you are.

  • Page 8: Capabilities And Specifications: Intellimap ® 502C Igps

    After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS expe- rience), you may want to try out some of the IntelliMap 502C's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS com- mand functions, organized in alphabetical order.

Con- tains: enhanced detail of continental U.S. and Hawaii. Includes more than 60,000 nav aids and 10,000 wrecks/obstructions in coastal and Great Lakes waters.

    Zoom range:....40 ranges; 0.02 to 4,000 miles. NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the IntelliMap 502C's on- board memory. The amount of GPS data you can record and save for recall later is limited only by the number and size of MMC cards you have.
  • Page 11 These MapCreate custom maps contain much greater de- tail than the basic background map. These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared between Eagle GPS or sonar/GPS units and personal computers. This unit automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SD card.

  • Page 12: Introduction To Gps And Waas

    Introduction to GPS and WAAS Well, now you know the basics of how the unit does its work. You might be ready to jump ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories, on page 11, so you can mount your IntelliMap 502C and plug in the power. Or you might want to see how our text formatting makes the manual tuto- rials easy to skim.
  • Page 13 The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude). This is called a 3D fix. Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals.

    only a tool. Always have another method of navigation available, such as a map or chart and a compass. Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and your destination, for example.

  • Page 17: Section 2: Installation & Accessories

    Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1.
  • Page 18 This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electri- cal contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat designs. If that results in electrical interference, or if such a switch is not available, we recommend connecting direct to the battery and in- stalling an inline switch.
  • Page 19 CAUTION: Failure to use the enclosed 3-amp fuse will void your warranty! For a replacement, use a type 3AG 3-amp fuse. This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires are attached correctly.

  • Page 27: Section 3: Basic Gps Operations

    Section 3: Basic GPS Operations This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tuto- rials presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Advanced GPS Operations, will discuss other more advanced functions and utili- ties. Material in Sec. 4 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 three Page screens and how they all work together.

  • Page 41: Find Your Current Position

    Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning the unit on. Un- der clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. NOTE: "Clear sky" means open sky, unobstructed by terrain, dense foliage or structures.

    Now that you've seen how the unit can find where you are, let's search for something somewhere else. Searching is one of the most powerful features in the Eagle GPS product line. In this example, we'll look for the nearest fast-food restaurant. For more information on different types of searches, refer to Sec.

    The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference be- tween them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse (from end to start.) When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use visual back trailing because it is a bit better at following each little turn on a foot path.
