FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the GP-37, GP-32

Congratulations on your choice of the GP-37 DGPS Navigator, GP-32 GPS Navigator.

For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

Your navigator is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for installation, operation, and maintenance.

We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

The GP-37/GP-32 is a totally integrated GPS receiver and video plotter, and mainly consists of a display unit and an antenna unit. The GP-37 is additionally equipped with a DGPS beacon receiver, built in the display unit.

The high sensitivity GPS receiver tracks up to 13 satellites (12 GPS, 1 WAAS) simultaneously. An 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in determination of vessel position, course and speed.

The main features of the GP-37/GP-32 are

•A DGPS beacon receiver may be connected to the GP-32 to add DGPS capability.

•WAAS capability.

•Storage for 999 waypoints and 50 routes

•Alarms: Arrival/Anchor Watch, XTE (Cross-track Error), Trip, Odometer, Time, WAAS/DGPS, and Speed.

•Man overboard feature records position at time of man overboard and provides continuous updates of range and bearing when navigating to the MOB position.

•Bright 95 x 60 mm LCD with adjustable contrast and brilliance.

•Autopilot (option) may be connected, and steering data output to the autopilot.

•Unique Highway display provides a graphic presentation of ship’s progress toward a waypoint.

•User displays definable by operator.

•Waypoint and route data can be uploaded from a PC and downloaded to a PC.

This GPS receiver complies with Canadian standard RSS-210 (Low Power License-Exempt Radio communication Devices).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1)this device may not cause interference, and

(2)this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

WHAT IS WAAS?

WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) navigation system. An SBAS provider furnishes GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. Two more SBAS providers are also currently under development, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe. All providers will be compatible with one another, thus providing “seamless” position fixes to SBAS users.

At the time of this software release, WAAS is still in the developmental phase. During this developmental phase, which may last several years, there is no guarantee of the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the WAAS signal. Therefore, FURUNO will accept no responsibility for the use of the signal for other than the above stated purpose. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgment when using the WAAS signal.

1.2 Turning On and Off Power

Turning on the power

Press the [DIM/PWR] key. The unit beeps and then starts up with the last-used display mode.

Note: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system configuration and equipment settings.

Your equipment takes about 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very first time. Thereafter it typically takes about 12 seconds.

The equipment shows receiver status indication at the top left-hand corner in most display modes. The table below shows these indications and their meanings.

The horizontal range in the plotter display is available among 0.02 (40 yd), 0.05 (101 yd), 0.1 (202 yd), 0.2 (405 yd), 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 nautical miles. (Nautical mile is the default unit of display range. Display range may also be shown in kilometers or miles. Ranges shorter than the 0.5 nm are also shown in yards or meters on the plotter display.) The horizontal range in the highway display is available among 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 nautical miles.

2.2 Shifting the Cursor

Use the cursor pad to shift the cursor. The cursor moves in the direction of the arrow or diagonal pressed on the cursor pad.

Cursor state and data

Cursor state determines what data is shown on the display.

Cursor turned on

Cursor position is displayed in latitude and longitude or TDs (depending on menu setting) at the bottom of the plotter display when the cursor is on. The range and bearing from own ship to the cursor appear at the left-hand side of the display.

2.3 Shifting the Display

The display can be shifted on the plotter display. Operate the cursor pad to place the cursor at an edge of the screen. The display shifts in the direction opposite to cursor pad operation.

2.4Centering Own Ship’s Position

When own ship tracks off the plotter display, the own ship mark is automatically returned to the screen center. You can also return it manually as follows:

1.Press the [MENU] key.

2.Choose “SHIP TO CENTER?”.

3.Press the [ENT] key.

2.5Changing Track Plotting Interval, Stopping Plotting

To trace the ship’s track, the ship’s position is stored into the memory at an interval of distance or according to display range. For distance, a shorter interval provides better reconstruction of the track, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.

1.Press the [MENU] key once or twice to display the menu.

2.Choose PLOTTER.

3.Press the [ENT] key.

3. WAYPOINTS (MARKS)

3.1 Entering Waypoints

In navigation terminology a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage, whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination waypoint. Your unit can store 999 waypoints. Waypoints can be entered on the plotter display three ways: at cursor position, at own ship’s position, and from the waypoint list.

Entering a waypoint with the cursor

1.Use the cursor pad to place the cursor on the location desired for a waypoint.

2.Press the [ENT] key. The following window appears.

3.The cursor is on the second line of the display. This is where you may enter waypoint name, which may consist of six alphanumeric characters. The number shown is the youngest empty waypoint number. If you would rather have the unit register the waypoint under that number, and you do not need to change mark shape or enter a comment, press the [ENT] key twice to register the waypoint and finish. To enter KOBE as the waypoint name, for example, do the following:

a)Press ▲ or ▼ to display K.

b)Press ► to move the cursor one place and then press ▲ or ▼ to display O.

c)Press ► to move the cursor one place and then press ▲ or ▼ to display B.

d)Press ► to move the cursor one place and then press ▲ or ▼ to display E.
