INTRODUCTION TO GPSPLUS
The GPSPlus display unit processes the information from its
accurate 12 channel GPS antenna/receiver unit or from an
additional LORAN-C or DECCA receiver. The unit can
select between either of the two input devices to display
accurate positional information, along with waypoints, routes
and information concerning GPS satellites, LORAN-C T.D.'s
or DECCA L.O.P.'s.

INTRODUCTION
After installation the GPSPlus can be used immediately with
minimal setting up for basic operation. To use the advanced
features of the GPSPlus display it is necessary to program
various parameters and enter waypoints and routes into the
units library. These will be discussed in later sections of this
handbook.
SWITCHING ON
The GPSPlus will power up and start receiving and
processing the signals from the satellites when the switch or
contact breaker for your instruments supply is turned on.
The display unit does not have an ON/OFF switch.
INITIAL DISPLAYS
On power-up the unit will show its satellite receiving status:
On subsequent power-ups the GPSPlus should quickly
obtain enough satellites for a fix, and the WAIT message
will only be displayed momentarily. If after a period of 15
minutes the display still shows NO DATA then check your
installation. If everything seems to be in order consult your
dealer.
The GPSPlus system requires only three satellites to obtain
a `fix'. When the unit has obtained a fix (in GPS mode) the
display will show the following:
If the GPSPlus display has not been programmed with any
navigational data (i.e. waypoints or routes) only the POS
key gives useful information.
When a brand new unit is powered up for the first time, or if
the unit has moved more than 1500km since it was last
powered up, it may take up to an hour to acquire enough
satellites for a fix.
Your GPSPlus has the ability to be used with a secondary
position fixing device, either a LORAN-C or a DECCA. The
unit will initially power-up using its own GPS
antenna/receiver unit. Selecting LORAN-C or DECCA
receiver will be explained later in this manual. Once
selected the GPSPlus will always power-up using the
selected receiver.

USING THE LIGHTS KEY
The GPSPlus display unit has 3 levels of illumination and
off, controlled by the LIGHTS key. It also changes the
illumination level of the key legends. The LIGHTS key is
always illuminated so even in complete darkness the key
can be located.

INTRODUCTION TO WAYPOINTS
A "waypoint" is simply a point you wish to go to. It can be an
anchorage, a point off a landmark, buoys, harbour
entrances or any position at sea. Whatever the waypoint, it
is necessary to know its position in latitude and longitude or
determine its range and bearing from your present position.
This can be taken directly from your chart.
The GPSPlus display can store 250 waypoints in its
memory, this is commonly called a waypoint library. The
waypoints are given unique numbers, and can also be
named, so they can be recalled when required. After a time
your waypoint library will contain all your most commonly
used navigational points. The waypoints in the library can
be edited if required, i.e. copied, named and deleted. This
will be necessary if you have used all of the 250 waypoint
library locations. Until at least one waypoint has been
entered into the GPSPlus library defining a route the
advanced navigational features obtained by pressing the
NAV key are not available.
ENTERING WAYPOINT DATA
Waypoints can be entered into the waypoint library of the
GPSPlus unit in many ways. The following is a list of these
methods:
1. Mark facility, one-touch waypoint entry.
2. Entry of waypoint latitude and longitude.
3. Entry of present position as a waypoint.
4. Copying from a library waypoint to another.
5. Entry by range and bearing from another waypoint.
6. Copying or "uploading" from another position fixer.
NAMING WAYPOINTS
It is possible to give any waypoint a name. This could be the
charted name of buoys, navigational markers, or any unique
name you wish to use. The name must not exceed eight
characters in length and can be any combination of letters,
numbers, spaces and the symbols <, >, /. All spaces count
as characters. For example:
BUOY, <BUOY>, 123/BUOY, B U O Y
The following words are reserved for use by the GPSPlus
unit and can not be used as waypoint names:
INSERT DELETE START END
All waypoints can be named before or after their position
has been entered. This allows you to generate a list of
library names and then at a later date enter the latitude and
longitude. The waypoint library can be sorted and listed
either numerically (default) from WPT 1 to WPT 250 or
alphabetically by name. Setting this feature is explained
later.
TRANSFER OF WAYPOINT DATA
It is possible to copy the waypoint library from the GPSPlus
display to another or any NMEA device. This is called
"downloading". There are two methods which will be
explained later. The reverse process, when waypoints are
copied from another GPSPlus display is called "uploading".
10
MARK FEATURE - INSTANT WAYPOINTS
The Mark feature allows 20 waypoints to be entered by
using a single key, the MARK key. This enables pots, drift
nets, and other points of interest along your present course
to be instantly memorised. Pressing the MARK key enters
your present position as a MARK into a reserved area of the
waypoint library. These mark waypoints are automatically
allocated the waypoint library names MARK01 to MARK20
and are waypoint numbers
To enter a mark simply press the
The first press will display the waypoint
library, the second and further presses
enter the MARKS. This can be carried
out 20 times.
After all 20 mark library locations have
been used the LCD will show
MARKFULL.
WPT 231
to
MARK

key twice.
.
If the Marks are of particular interest then it is good practice
to copy them to other waypoint library locations, name them
for easy identification, and then erase the original MARK. By
erasing the original more MARKs can then be entered,
because once the MARK library locations are full no more
MARKs can be entered. These procedures are explained in
this section of the handbook.
MARKs can be used to define a route. If on a passage you
enter MARKs into the library, and then use them in the
correct order to define a route, they can be used in reverse
to lead the way home. These procedures are explained in
USING ROUTES, later in this handbook.
IMPORTANT NOTE
create a route ensure that the MARK latitude and longitude
is as you expect. If the MARKs have been erased and then
re-entered (by pressing the MARK key) the MARK latitude
and longitude will have changed and the route could be
entirely different. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOU, YOUR
CREW AND YOUR VESSEL. CHECK BEFORE YOU
ENGAGE THE ROUTE.
It is suggested that you use a table to record your MARK
waypoints, it will help you identify and record them in the
future. The following pages could be copied for this purpose
or a table of your own design could be used.
: If MARK waypoints have been used to
Mark waypoints can be used exactly like any other waypoint
that you have entered using the methods described in the
following pages.

OTHER WAYPOINT SETUPS
The SETUP button has other waypoint facilities beyond the
Waypoint Erase function. Three more waypoint functions
are available as follows:
1. DOWNLOAD WPT
2. UPLOAD WPTS
3. NET DOWNLOAD
These functions are used when transferring waypoint data
between other GPSPlus units and NMEA devices. They are
described in the GPSPlus Interfacing section of this
handbook.

INTRODUCTION TO ROUTES
A "route" (sometimes called a sailplan) is simply a list of
waypoints in the order that you intend to travel along them.
It is made up of "legs", where a leg is the passage from one
waypoint to another. You can have up to 10 routes stored in
the GPSPlus and up to 40 waypoints in each route.
A route is defined leg by leg by recalling waypoints from the
waypoint library and storing them in the route. It is important
to remember that a leg is a straight line drawn between two
waypoints, it does not recognise any obstruction in the way
such as land, shallow water, wrecks, or other vessels. When
planning your route take careful note of any navigational
obstructions, including high and low water marks.
It is possible to select the direction of travel along your
route, either forward or reverse and then miss out a
complete leg if required. This will be explained later in the
Navigation With GPSPlus section of this handbook.

OTHER ROUTE SETUPS
The SETUP key has another function beyond the Route

described in the GPSPlus Interfacing section of this
handbook.
32
NAVIGATION WITH GPS
The
key is used to give navigational information from
NAV
PLUS
your present position to a specific waypoint, the "target"
waypoint. The target waypoint could be any waypoint in the
waypoint library or a waypoint that makes up one the legs of
a pre-defined route.
It is necessary to select a waypoint or a route before the
GPSPlus unit can calculate the data. The target waypoint
can be changed at any time so NAV information is available
about any waypoint in the library.
The following navigational information is available when a
target waypoint has been selected:
•
Location of waypoint
• Waypoint identity (ID)
• Bearing and distance from present position to
waypoint
• Course to steer (CTS)
•
Cross track error (XTE)
• Course over ground (COG)
•
Speed over ground (SOG)
• Time to go (TTG)
• Velocity made good (VMG)
•
Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
Bearings can be displayed in degrees with reference to
True or Magnetic North and distances can be displayed in
Nautical Miles, Statute Miles or Kilometres. The calculated
values can be Rhumb Line or Great Circle.
the waypoints are used.
NOTES: If when a route is selected or when following a
route the display shows the message NAV FAULT, it
means that the target waypoints of the route have been
deleted from the GPSPlus waypoint library. To overcome
this problem either redefine the route or re-enter the deleted
waypoint(s).
When following a route the GPSPlus will continue to display
navigational data after the vessel has passed the final
waypoint. The information will be based on the last waypoint
until another waypoint or route is selected. The displayed
value for cross track error (XTE) is based on an extended
line of the previous track.
When the GPSPlus is used in combination with a Network
PILOT that has NMEA data being supplied to the PILOT
Display via its NMEA interface, the NAV key allows the
GPSPlus to select the PILOT NMEA data for calculation of
the displayed navigational data.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If MARK waypoints have been used to
create a route ensure that the MARK latitude and longitude
is as you expect. If the MARKs have been erased and then
re-entered (by pressing the MARK key) the MARK latitude
and longitude will have changed and the route could be
entirely different. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOU, YOUR
CREW AND YOUR VESSEL. CHECK BEFORE YOU
ENGAGE THE ROUTE.
The
key is also used to select the direction of the
NAV
route, either forwards or reverse. This is the order in which

INTRODUCTION TO SETUPS ON THE GPSPLUS
The GPSPlus has many parameters that can be set if the
user wishes, some of these are alarms. The sequence for
adjusting or setting these parameters and alarms is similar
in every case, only the displayed information is different.
The SETUPs are arranged in a continuous list that you can
cycle through using the SETUP key. For a full description of
each SETUP with its selectable parameters please refer to
the table at the end of this section.
A short cut method allows you to start cycling through the
list from a different entry point determined by the

WAYPOINT ARRIVAL ALARM
The waypoint arrival alarm is always active, i.e. it CANNOT
be disabled. It is used in conjunction with the auto advance
function. The auto advance function is used to automatically
select the next waypoint in a route or sailplan. The waypoint
arrival alarm is triggered when the vessel is within a preset
radius around the target waypoint. The alarm is triggered in
two ways.
1. When the vessel arrives at the target waypoint within the
radius set for the auto advance function the display will
sound its alarm and flash ARRIVED. Other Network units
will also sound their alarms.

within the set radius for auto advance, BUT crosses an
imaginary line drawn through the waypoint perpendicular to
the rhumb-line between waypoints, the display will sound its
alarm and flash CROSSING. Other Network units will also
sound their alarms.
The action taken when the alarm is activated depends on
the AUTO ADVance status:
If AUTO ADVance is ON, the next waypoint in the route is
used when the vessel arrives or crosses the waypoint as
described above. When this occurs the alarm will sound and
the display flashes for five seconds, then the next waypoint
in the route will be automatically selected.
If AUTO ADVance is OFF, the next waypoint in the route is
used only when a key is pressed to silence the waypoint
arrival or crossing alarm. The alarm will sound and the
display flash until a key is pressed, then the next waypoint
in the route will be selected.
NOTE
autopilot will not steer to the next waypoint until instructed to
do so by the helmsman. This is a safety feature. Refer to

HDOP ALARM
As in all radio navigation systems, the accuracy is affected
by the geometry of the situation. Probably the most familiar
examples of this today is the practice of avoiding "small
crossing angles" in Loran-C or Decca lines of position
(LOP). These hyperbolic systems operate with fixed site
transmitters so the angles are constant at any particular
location. GPS uses moving transmitters (satellites) and
therefore the geometry or crossing angles are constantly
changing. In 2-dimensional GPS navigation, the lines of
position are moving circles on the Earth’s surface that are,
at all points, equidistant from a satellite. The effects of
geometry on accuracy can be summarized in a single
number, called the Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP).
The accuracy obtainable from a particular set of satellites is
equal to the pseudo-range measurements multiplied by the
HDOP. In order to avoid extra-ordinary errors due to short
periods of very poor geometry the GPSPlus software will not
use satellite constellations with an HDOP higher than
twelve. The HDOP alarm allows you to be alerted when the
HDOP value becomes larger than a preset value (up to 12).
To change the alarm state without adjusting the radius, miss
out step 4.

TRANSFERRING WAYPOINT DATA
Up to four GPSPlus displays can be connected into a
Network System. This allows multiple NMEA receivers to be
used (remember that a single GPSPlus display allows two
NMEA receivers to be connected). To enable GPSPlus
displays to co-exist on the same network most of the setups
are common and the waypoint and route libraries must be
identical.
When another GPSPlus display is added the data is usually
transferred automatically via the system network cables.
Occasionally automatic data transfer is unsuccessful and it
is necessary to manually initiate the transfer of waypoint
and route library data from one unit to the other. Data
transferred to other NMEA devices (not GPSPlus displays)
is always initiated manually.
The copying of data, whether between GPSPlus displays or
other NMEA devices, is called Uploading or Downloading
depending on the direction of the data transfer.
DOWNLOADING
There are two methods of Downloading:
2. Downloading Via NMEA Interface
Waypoint data can also be transferred to other NMEA
devices. This is accomplished via the GPSPlus
display NMEA interface cable. The waypoints to be
downloaded are selected one by one, and then
transferred as a complete block of data in an NMEA
sentence $IIWPL.
UPLOADING
Uploading of waypoints is accomplished via the secondary
NMEA device socket (on the rear case of the GPSPlus
display) and cable directly from the position fixer selected.
All waypoints are transferred until the ENTER key is
pressed to terminate uploading.
The following procedures accomplish data transfer.
1. Downloading Via B&G Network
This is when data is copied between GPSPlus
displays via the B&G Network.
58
DOWNLOADING VIA B&G NETWORK
When downloading in this manner the waypoints are
transferred via the B&G Network interconnecting cables as
Network data. The waypoints are downloaded as one
complete block of data.
When downloading in this manner it is necessary to use a
special NMEA output cable (part number 610-OA-038)
available from your dealer. This cable is connected to the
secondary NMEA device socket of the GPSPlus display
unit. The waypoints to be downloaded are selected one by
one.

library is received. It is possible that the GPSPlus will
display

DOWNLOADING ROUTE DATA
When multiple GPSPlus displays are used it may be
necessary to copy the route data (that is, all the waypoint
data stored in a route), between displays. This procedure is
similar to copying the waypoint library as previously
explained and is also called downloading.
1. Press the ROUTE key until ROUTE # is displayed.
2. Press the SETUP key three times. The display will show

3. Press the ENTER key to download the route data.
NOTE: It is possible for the GPSPlus to display an error
message DATA FAULT when downloading routes. This
indicates two routes with the same route number exist. If
this occurs erase one of the routes, or redefine another
route using the same waypoint data.
NOTE: Uploading will stop automatically if a waypoint
having the same name as one already in the GPSPlus
library is uploaded.
60
NMEA INTERFACING WITH GPSPLUS
The two sockets on the rear case of the GPSPlus display
are NMEA input/output connectors for position fixing
instruments, radar sets, autopilots and other devices
requiring NMEA interfacing. The connectors allow bidirectional data communication using the NMEA 0183 v1.5
protocol. This allows input of positional data (latitude and
longitude) and other position fixer information (e.g. satellite
data) into the GPSPlus display unit for displaying, and
output of control sentences (including waypoint data) to a
position fixer.
In a standard GPSPlus system the GPSPlus
antenna/receiver unit uses the top connector, leaving the
other for connection to a secondary NMEA device (e.g. a
GPS, Loran-C or Decca receiver).

DIFFERENTIAL INFORMATION
PLUS
The GPSPLUS system is capable of accepting a Differential
GPS input conforming to the RTCM SC 104 V2.0 format.
Refer to the installation sheets for wiring details.
Once the GPS has obtained a fix, and the Differential
receiver has locked onto the beacon, the GPSPLUS display
will show the following:
The basic GPS system available to the normal user
contains a deliberate inaccuracy, called Selective
Availability (SA). This limits the accuracy of the GPS
position to an average of 100 metres. To improve the
accuracy a system called Differential GPS (DGPS) was
designed to run with the normal GPS system.
The basic principle of DGPS is that a known position
(Lighthouse, Coastguard Station, etc.) has a normal GPS
receiver installed. A computer monitors the position from the
GPS and compares this to its known position. The error
between the GPS position and the known position is
calculated then transmitted over a conventional radio link to
the vessel. The GPS on board the vessel recalculates the
position taking into account the errors. A separate receiver
and antenna are needed to receive the Differential beacon
signal.

INSTALLATION OF THE DISPLAY UNIT
The display unit is supplied with a clip-in mounting bracket
which allows for easy installation. Access from behind is not
necessary to secure the unit in place. However, to prevent
theft and permanently fix the unit in position, locking studs
and thumb nuts are supplied.
SITING THE UNIT
The instrument is designed for mounting on or below deck.
A mounting position should be selected where it is:
Easy to read by the helmsman
•
• On a smooth, flat surface
• At least 100mm (4") from a compass
Protected from direct splashes of water to the rear of the
•
display case
• Accessible from behind for fitting locking studs if
required.
TOOLS REQUIRED
70mm (2¾") hole cutter
•
2.9mm, 5mm drills
•
• Screwdrivers
• Measuring tape or rule
Cable clips or ty-wraps.
•
MOUNTING THE UNIT
Use the cutting template supplied to mark the centres of the
holes for the self-tapping screws, the fixing stud holes and
the mounting bracket.
The template allows 4mm (5/32") between adjacent units
•
for the suncover. Increase this distance if required to a
maximum of 60mm (2 3/8") between units or 180mm (3
1/8") between centres. For greater distances between
units extension cables are available.
Use a 70mm (2 3/4") diameter hole cutter for the
•
mounting bracket hole.
Use a 2.9mm drill for the self-tapping holes.
•
• Use a 5mm drill for the locking stud holes.
• Secure the mounting bracket to the bulkhead with the
self-tapping screws supplied.
Fit the rubber-sealing gasket around the mounting
•
bracket.
• Screw the locking studs into the back of the display head
(if required for security locking).
Carefully pass the cable tails through the mounting
•
bracket hole, connect the plugs and sockets to sensor
cables, power cable and other Network display units as
required.
Clip the display head into the mounting bracket (it is a
•
snug fit).
• Secure the instrument with the thumb nuts supplied (if
required).

INSTALLATION DATA
65
INSTALLATION OF ANTENNA UNIT
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Select a suitable site for the antenna unit with reasonable
consideration of the following points:
As close as possible to the vessel's deck, which has a
•
relatively unobstructed view of the horizon
Avoid areas where the unit could become damaged, e.g.
•
where ropes or wires could become entangled
• Avoid installing unit at the mast top: this location
accentuates the boat’s motion
Avoid areas of high vibration, e.g. engine housings and
•
radar installations
• Not within 60cm (2ft) of other antennas, e.g. VHF, SSB
Above or below a radar's cone of transmission
•
Below and at least 3m (10ft) away from satellite
•
communications equipment
Dense wood or metal structures will shield the unit from
satellite signals. However, stays, masts and relatively dry
sails will not interfere with reception. The unit can receive
signals through glass, canvas and thin fibreglass (for
example, a wheelhouse or saloon area), however it would
be advisable to try such a location before permanent fixture.
MOUNTING THE ANTENNA UNIT
The GPS antenna unit may be pole mounted. The threaded
socket at the base of the unit will accept a 1¼" straight
thread. The GPS antenna unit only requires hand tightening
on to the pole mount. Over tightening with a tool could
damage the threaded socket at the base of the unit.
The pole mounting arrangement of the GPS antenna unit
makes it easy for you to remove and store it in a safe and
secure place when not in use. For permanent installation it
is advisable to drill and pin the GPS antenna unit. This will
discourage theft and prevent accidental loosening.
Alternatively the GPS antenna can be split into two parts by
removing the four screws in the underside. The lower part
can be discarded, leaving the GPS antenna with a flat base,
which can be mounted on a cabin top or “A” frame.
If you choose this mounting option secure the GPS antenna
from underneath using 4 x M3 machine screws. Care should
be taken to trim overlong screws so no more than 7 turns of
the thread are inside the GPS antenna.
66
ROUTING THE GPS ANTENNA CABLE
The GPS antenna unit is supplied with a 9 metre (30ft),
shielded multicore cable. The cable should be routed to the
GPSPlus Display unit junction box and then cut to length.
For connection details refer to the installation sheet supplied
with your system.
When routing the antenna cable consideration should be
given to the following guidelines:
AVOID:
Sharp bends or kinks in the cable
•
• Hot surfaces e.g. exhaust manifolds or stacks
• Rotating or reciprocating equipment
Sharp or abrasive surfaces
•
Door, hatch and window jambs
•
• Corrosive fluids or gases
