Eagle marine electronics, from Eagle Electronics, offers one thing many other marine electronics companies don’t, and that’s a way to use and explore its products before you even buy.
At Eagle Electronics’ web site not only will you find all sorts of product emulators for Eagle’s fish finders and GPS units, but all the documentation you’ll need to get the most out of them.
This means that not only will you be able to learn just how to work sonar and GPS units; but will be able to evaluate the ocean full of features that Eagle marine electronics devices offer.
These devices feature everything under the sun. Not only do you get configuration and programming capabilities, but you also get all the essential electronic hardware you need to go with it.
That hardware, which combines together GPS and fish finder functionality into one chart plotter unit, gives the software what it needs to navigate more securely and find what’s underwater quickly.
Eagle’s electronic sonar technology, which comes standard in its fish finders, offers 1500 watts of controllable peak power, allowing you to see fish all the way down to 800 feet.
But there’s a lot more than depth to Eagle’s sonar, and that’s speed. The sonar technology the company uses, besides a fish detection area of 70 degrees, actually works at boat speeds up to 70 miles per hour (61 knots). And it does it all with amazing clarity, even allowing you to fine-tune the clarity with the help of a ping speed adjustment.
At those speeds you’ll need sonar replay to review the underwater regions you’re scanning. And that’s just what Eagle offers. Sonar scanned images as well as data logs can be saved in real time and played back, not just on your color chartplotter, but also on your regular PC.
Enabling you to turn your fish finder into a environmental monitoring system, you can use your sonar logs to mark specific waypoints where underwater eco systems thrive. The system’s software also lets you identify specific fish types with different fish icons as well as set alarms that will automatically alert you when you are over shallow or deep water as well as fishing zones.
For mapping, Eagle also engraves a world base map into its marine electronics products, This map not only details the continental United States and Hawaii, but also provides over 60,000 nav-aids so that you have what you need to navigate around obstructions at critical navigation junctions. Add to that 40 map zoom ranges, from 0.02 to 4,000 miles and you have the power to mark your waypoints, event markers and routes with outstanding precision.
Besides its base map, you can add more mapping power with Eagle’s GPS Mapping Accessories Pack and MapCreate. Beyond that, Eagle’s marine devices are compatible with a number of other brands like Lowrance Freed Maps, LakeMaster Pro Maps, NauticPath and Navionics electronic charts.
Eagle’s chartplotters, because they are light weight and portable and have GPS/Waas receivers, are also great for inland waterways and hiking in general. And that’s because Waas enabled GPS lets you pinpoint your own location down below 3 meters, giving you the power to record your routes down to the nearest footstep.
