Eagle Product Emulators are downloadable PC-based
software applications that simulate, on your computer, the
operation of an actual unit. These virtual sonar/GPS units
perform just like the real ones!
While the emulators don't actually navigate or show "live"
sonar returns (no transducer or antenna connection) all other
features are fully functional. Emulators for recording/sonar/GPS
units play back recorded sonar logs and display MapCreate™
custom maps.
The GPS Simulator command operates normally in the emulator
but, to get the full effect, mapping data is necessary. We have
created several MapCreate™ 6 sample
maps that you can download to use with mapping capable
emulators. Sample Navionics® maps (showing marine chart data)
are included in the emulators of products that have memory card
reading capability.
Product emulators are useful and fun whether you are a
prospective buyer, a new owner or a seasoned pro. These
emulators allow you to:
- try a product before you buy it
- practice operating the unit in the comfort of your home -
the next time you're in the field, you'll spend less time
learning and more time having fun
- experiment with advanced features and settings to get
maximum performance from your unit
- review sonar logs recorded in your favorite fishing areas -
become more familiar with an area's structure and underwater
terrain without burning more boat fuel
- review boat path and sonar log in split-screen mode, if the
GPS module was connected when the sonar log was recorded,
seeing on the map where you were when the sonar log was
recorded
Since product emulators operate in the same manner as the
actual product, we recommend that you refer to the free online
owners manual for
detailed instructions on running the emulator, or you can refer
to our basic operation
guide.
Note: If you have problems with a
Product Emulator, please check the FAQs for possible
solutions.
Note: Exit Services and POI data have been removed from
the emulator background maps
