    First, we want to thank you for buying an Eagle GPS unit. Whether you're a first time user or a professional fisherman, you'll discover that your IntelliMap 642c iGPS is easy to use, yet capable of handling de- manding navigation tasks. When you team your unit with our custom mapping software MapCreate...

    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 642c'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.

    NOTE: The above memory capacities refer only to the IntelliMap 642c'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. NOTICE! The storage temperature range for your IntelliMap 642c is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees...
  • 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 642c 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.

  • Page 14: How To Use This Manual: Typographical Conventions

    Remember that this receiver is 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.

Next, repeatedly press (or press and hold) the down arrow key to scroll down the menu and select (highlight) the My Trails menu command.

  • Page 17: Section 2: Installation & Accessories

    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.

    pack expands the uses for your GPS unit. The PPP makes it easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a second bracket. You can use your unit in your own car or boat, then take it along when riding in a friend's vehicle that's not equipped with GPS.

    Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras; see ordering in- formation 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.

    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.
