INTRODUCTION ® Thank you for purchasing an Eagle AccuMap 12™. With its large LCD screen, easy to use menus, and outstanding performance, we think you’ll be happy with this product for many years. The AccuMap 12 can be used for fishing, hiking, canoeing, offshore boat- ing, and just about any other ground-based activity. This product also takes IMS SmartMap™, C-MAP™, and Navionics™ cartridges, which show greater detail of land and hydrographic features. Like most GPS receivers, your AccuMap 12 do

tions. The AccuMap 12 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 AccuMap 12 gives you out- standing position and navigation information. Please sit down with the unit and this manual and familiarize yourself with them before using this unit in the “real world”. A simulator is built in, which lets you practice with the receiver.

BATTERY INSTALLATION ® The AccuMap 12 requires six AA batteries. We recommend DURACELL alkaline batteries, but other brands will work. You can use lithium batteries which will last longer than alkaline batteries (but cost more) or recharge- able ni-cad batteries (won’t last as long as standard alkalines). Recharge- ® ® able alkaline batteries such as RayOVac Renewals will also work . Do not use heavy-duty batteries or any battery other than the ones listed above. Do not mix different types of ba

IMPORTANT! There are arrows molded into the bottom of the battery cover and battery holder. Make certain the arrows are properly aligned! Otherwise, the bat- tery holder won’t slide all the way into the cover and the battery pack won’t slide onto the unit. Slide the battery pack onto the unit and the AccuMap 12 is ready for use. ANTENNA Your AccuMap 12 has a removable antenna that folds over the display when the unit is not in use. This prevents damage to the display. To open the antenna, simply

Once the AccuMap 12 locks on to the satellites and finds your position, it stores the satellite data in its memory. The next time you use the unit, it should take much less time to lock on. To use your AccuMap 12, first take it outside, away from trees and buildings. You need a clear view of the sky. Open the antenna and adjust it so that it is parallel with the ground. Press the PWR key. Read the message on the screen, then press the EXIT key to erase the message. A screen similar to the one at

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 FLASH- ING! Usually, this happens when the GPS receiver 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 AccuMap 12 has navigation, mapping, and windows group modes. These screens we

Navigation Screens There are two navigation screens. Nav screen number one shows a graphi- cal view of your trip, the other screen shows all navigation details in large digital numbers. Nav Screen #1 This screen is dominated by a compass rose. Your track (direction of travel) is indicated by an arrow pointing down toward the compass rose at the top center of the screen. Track is also shown in the upper right corner of the dis- play under the “TRK” label. In the example screen shown at right, the

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.) All of the digital boxes on this screen are programmable. See the “Pro- gramming” section for more information. Nav Screen #2 The navigation screen shows naviga

The smaller arrows pointing down on each side show the CDI’s range. The default is 1/10 mile. The small vertical bar shows the distance off course and represents the course line. If the bar moves to the right, then you are to the left of the desired course line, and vice-versa. The CDI indicator shown above shows that we are about .02 miles to the left of the desired course. (With the CDI range of .10 miles, each vertical dotted line represents .02 mile.) You can adjust the CDI’s range through t
