ANTENNA
The Eagle View’s antenna can be mounted on any flat surface, provided
you have access behind the surface for the mounting screws. A magnet is
also supplied that can be epoxied to the bottom of the antenna, allowing it
to be used on off-road vehicles. A pole mount adapter lets you mount the
antenna on a pole or swivel mount.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Surface Mount
The Eagle View’s antenna can be easily installed on any flat surface that
is at least 90 mm (3 1/2”) wide. Make certain that a clear view of the sky is
available at the selected location. Since the GPS signals travel “line-of-
sight”, nearly anything blocking the antenna can potentially obstruct the
unit from finding a satellite.
Once you’ve determined the mounting location, use the template on page
51 in this manual to drill the holes for the screws. The screws, supplied
with the Eagle View, are 4mm x 30mm. (about 1 1/8” long). Drill 4.75 mm
(3/16”) holes for the mounting screws. If you route the cable through the
mounting surface, you’ll need to drill a 25 mm (1”) hole for the cable.
There is a notch in the antenna housing that allows the cable to pass
through to the outside, instead of routing it through the mounting surface.
