NOTE:

The sonar's depth capability depends on the transducer installa- tion, water and bottom conditions and other factors.

FasTrack

This feature automatically converts all echoes to short horizontal lines on the display's far right side. The graph on the rest of the screen con- tinues to operate normally. FasTrack gives you a rapid update of condi- tions directly under the boat. This makes it useful for ice fishing or when you're fishing at anchor. When the boat is not moving, fish sig- nals are long, drawn out lines on a normal chart display. FasTrack con- verts the graph to a vertical bar graph that, with practice, makes a use- ful addition to fishing at a stationary location.

Fish I.D. (Fish Symbols & Depths)

The Fish I.D. feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish. The microcomputer analyzes all echoes and eliminates surface clutter, thermoclines and other signals that are undesirable. In most instances remaining targets are fish. The Fish I.D. feature displays fish symbols on the screen in place of the actual fish echoes.

640c specifications

Eagle Electronics has made a significant mark in the world of marine electronics with its innovative and reliable products, notably the Eagle Electronics 640C, 640cDF, and the 640c models. These devices are designed for anglers and navigators who seek advanced functionality combined with user-friendly operation.

The Eagle Electronics 640C is a high-performance fish finder that is primarily admired for its vibrant display and precise mapping capabilities. Equipped with a 640x480 pixel, full-color LCD screen, it provides crystal-clear visibility even in bright sunlight. This device uses advanced sonar technology to offer detailed underwater images, allowing users to locate fish with remarkable accuracy. The high-resolution graphics enhance the experience while providing an intuitive interface for easy navigation through its various features.

The 640cDF, a variant of the 640C, elevates the standard fish finder experience by incorporating dual-frequency sonar capabilities. This model operates on both 200 kHz and 83 kHz frequencies, allowing users to switch between narrow and wide beams based on their fishing needs. The dual-frequency technology provides a more comprehensive view of the underwater environment, making it easier to identify different types of fish and underwater structures. Additionally, the 640cDF boasts temperature sensing capabilities, giving anglers valuable data regarding water conditions that can influence fish behavior.

All models in the Eagle 640 series feature built-in GPS navigation. The integrated GPS provides a reliable mapping system that allows users to mark waypoints and create routes, significantly improving navigation efficiency. This technology is vital for those who engage in long-distance fishing trips or travel in unfamiliar waters. The GPS functionality, combined with the sonar capabilities, makes these devices essential tools for successful fishing excursions.

Furthermore, the Eagle 640 series devices come equipped with customizable display options, allowing users to tailor the information presented based on their preferences. The intuitive menu system simplifies the navigation of the device's various features, empowering users to quickly access critical data without unnecessary complications.

In summary, the Eagle Electronics 640C, 640cDF, and the 640c represent a blend of cutting-edge technology and user-centric design in the marine electronics space. With features such as high-resolution displays, dual-frequency sonar, built-in GPS navigation, and customizable settings, these devices enhance the fishing experience, making them invaluable assets for anglers and navigators alike.
