OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
This chapter acquaints you with the basics of your unit – from turning on the power to entering the time and date.
1.1 Control Description
The keyboard consists of 40 logically arranged keys. The unit confirms correct key input by releasing a single beep. Invalid key input
is denoted by a series of beeps.
Normally, insert appropriate chart card before turning on the power.
1. Open the card drive cover.
Figure 1-2 Opening chart slot

For the GP-3300, at the first power application after installation, it
takes about two minutes to acquire GPS satellite data, called the almanac. While the unit is acquiring the almanac, the indication “CST”
appears at the top of the display . “CST” is replaced by “2D” or “ACQ”
after the almanac is acquired. If the vessel has moved more than 600
miles with the system turned off, reenter estimated position on the
GPS INITIAL SETTINGS menu (key sequence: [MENU], [8], [
]).
If asterisks appear instead of ship’s position data, this means there is
no navigation input. Check to make sure proper navigation aid is
selected on the INITIAL SETTINGS menu (keying sequence:
[MENU], [8]).

1.4 The Trackball
1.5 The Cursor
The main function of the trackball is to
shift the cursor and the display. The display may be shifted when the cursor is
turned off; the cursor when it is turned on.
Figure 1-5 Operating the trackball,
shifting the picture (cursor off)
The cursor functions to
• Find latitude and longitude of a location
• Find range and bearing from your ship to position selected
• Enter and erase marks, lines and waypoints
Note: Y ou can select cursor configuration (cross hairs or entire screen
cursor) on the INITIAL SETTINGS menu (keying sequence:
[MENU], [8]). The default cursor configuration is the cross hairs.
Turning the cursor on/off
Each press of the [CURSOR ON/OFF] key turns the cursor on/off.
With the cursor on, operate the trackball or the arrow keys to shift the
cursor. Use the trackball for general placement and the arrow keys
for fine tuning. The cursor moves in the direction of the trackball
moves. When the cursor reaches the edge of the display, the display
shifts in the opposite direction.

The “quality” of the track displayed largely depends on the plot interval setting, smoothing rate, etc. In drawing the track, first the ship’s
position fed from the navigation receiver is stored into this unit’s
memory at an interval of time or distance selected by the operator.
This interval of time or distance is called the “Plot Interval” and it is
selected considering the ship’s speed, the chart scale, etc. If a shorter
interval is selected, a reconstructed course line is provided with better accuracy, but total storage time of the track is reduced.
Plot interval and track reconstruction
Obviously there is a trade off between smooth reconstruction of the
track and plot storage time: The shorter the interval the smoother the
reconstruction but storage time is reduced. Figure 2-10 compares plot
interval and track reconstruction.

The GD/GP-3300 series has 98 waypoints into which you can enter
position information. They are numbered from “zero-zero” (00) to
ninety-nine (99) and colored yellow. (Waypoint color cannot be
changed.) Waypoint “00” is reserved for use when your present position is used as a starting waypoint, to find range and bearing to a
point. This will be explored in more detail later.
W aypoint “99” is an external waypoint where “T o” waypoint selected
on the connected navaid is automatically stored.

In many cases a trip from one place to another involves several course
changes, requiring a series of route points (waypoints) which you
navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to
the ultimate destination is called a route. This unit can automatically
advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change
the destination waypoint repeatedly. The figure below shows an example of a route between two points, involving six waypoints.

from one waypoint to the next, as it automatically switches from
waypoint to waypoint in sequence.
1. Press the [FR/TO] key to display the DESTINATION SETTING
menu.
Figure 5-6 DESTINATION SETTING menu
2. Select ROUTE from the MODE field.
3. Select the ROUTE NO. field.
4. Enter route number by two digits.
5. Select the FWD/REV field.
6. Select route transit direction; forward or reverse.
7. Press the [ENT] key.
About route navigation
When a route is selected for navigation its waypoints are marked by
yellow flags (except waypoint-created routes) and connected with a
light-blue dashed line.
The unit will automatically select the first waypoint in the route plan
for you go to towards from your present position. Once you arrive
within the radius of the arrival alarm, the unit will automatically switch
to the next waypoint in sequence.
You might also try another way to “arrive” at your destination
waypoint. This involves changing the arrival alarm range to a larger
number. This way too is fraught with danger, for if you specify the
alarm range too loosely , let’s say 0.5 nautical miles, you will need to
allow the automatic switching to the next destination waypoint to
occur, but you may then define a new course to the next waypoint
5-5
that takes you through a seawall or over land! It is far better to leave
a reasonable arrival alarm range of say 0.1 nautical miles, and when
you get as close as safely possible to the desired waypoint which is
now blocked then manually override the route planning mode and go
to manual waypoint sequencing.
Note: In some instances waypoints on a route may not be connected.
If this is the case;
1) Check setting of ROUTE LINE on menu 96.
2) Try reformatting the display.
3) An intermediate waypoint may be selected by the arrival alarm
range. If this is the case, make the alarm range smaller. Note that the
arrival alarm range remains in effect in route navigation even when
the arrival alarm itself is turned off.
5.3 Temporarily Deselecting a Route Waypoint
A route waypoint may be deselected temporarily by entering a “-”
(minus) to the left of the route waypoint on the ROUTE list. Using
Figure 5-7 as an example, you would want to temporarily deselect
route waypoints 04, 05 and 06, since your ship is to traverse the route
in the order of route waypoints 03, 02 and 01.
The temporarily deselected route waypoint may be restored at any
time by entering a plus sign next to the deselected route waypoint
number.

AUT OPILOT DATA
With autopilot connection, you can display various autopilot information on the display. This chapter describes what information you
receive with autopilot connection.
8.1 Features Available with Autopilot Connection
The following features are available with autopilot (for example,
FURUNO FAP-330) connection:
• The FAP-330 feeds autopilot information to the GD/GP-3300 for
display on the plot and video pilot displays.
• In the AUTO mode the FAP-330 automatically controls rudder
movement in order to steer the vessel on a set course, thereby negating the effects of wind and current.
• When you restart the NAV mode when navigating a route, a line is
drawn between restart point and next intermediate route waypoint.
See Figure 8-1.
• The autopilot display can be turned on or off on the INITIAL SETTINGS menu.

Frequency deviation
This indication shows how many Hertz the GPS receiver is deviating
from its assigned frequency of 1575.42 MHz. Less than about 3000
Hz is normal. Any deviation higher than that will mean more time is
required to fix position.

When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix
may change greatly, even if the vessel is dead in water. This change
can be reduced by smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 0
and 9 is available. The higher the setting the more smoothed the raw
data. Note however that too high a setting slows response time to
change in latitude and longitude. This phenomenon is especially noticeable at high ship’s speeds. “0” is the normal setting; increase the
setting if the GPS fix changes greatly.

Speed and course GPS smoothing
During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly
measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data
may change randomly depending on receiving conditions and other
factors. You can reduce this random variation by increasing the
smoothing. Like with latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher
the speed and course smoothing setting the more smoothed the raw
data. If the setting is too high, however, the response to speed and
course changes slows. For no smoothing, enter “0”. “5” is suitable
for most conditions.

10.5 Cold Start
Cold start is automatically executed at initial power application or
when the GPS memory is cleared. This is done to acquire the Almanac to receive a GPS satellite. Y ou can also do the cold start manually
when the Almanac is too old to acquire a satellite; for example, when
the unit has not been used for about six months. Manually cold starting the GPS receiver erases the existing Almanac to receive the current one.

10.6 Geodetic Datum
A nautical chart is usually made by either trigonometrical survey or
astronomical survey and according to the geodetic chart standards of
the country it is used in. For example, the USA uses the system called
Clarke; India, Everest, and Japan, Bessel. Accordingly when you are
getting position fixes by GPS in the USA, the system should be Clarke
so you don’t get a position fix which shows you’re somewhere offshore when you’re actually moored to a dock.
While the use of one category of chart systems is fine if you don’t do
transoceanic voyages, ocean-going vessels may require all categories to get reliable position information. T o solve this inconvenience,
a standard chart system was adopted by GPS: the WGS-84.
play.
Selecting chart system
Although the WGS-84 system is now widely used the other categories of charts still exist. Thus it is necessary to apply a correction
value to the WGS-84 to match it to local geodetic systems.
The GD/GP-3300 can perform this calculation automatically if you
tell it what type of chart you’re using. For Clarke charts, for example,
select NAD (North America 1992). Select the chart system used, not
the area where the boat is sailing.
10.7 Correcting GPS Position
You may apply an offset to GPS position to further refine its accuracy.
