Figure 1-4 GD-3300/GP-3300
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.

2.5 Track Plotting Interval

The plot interval determines how the track will be reconstructed on the display and track storage time. The equipment has two plot inter­vals, plot interval 1 and plot interval 2, which you can set as desired. You can select which one to use by the [PLOT INTVL] key. This section shows you how to preset the plot intervals, on the INITIAL SETTINGS menu.
How the track is drawn
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.
ACTUAL TRACK
Figure 2-10 Plot interval and track reconstruction
DISPLAYED TRACK
Plot interval by time or distance
The plot interval can be selected by “Time” (00 sec. to 99.59 min.) or “Distance” (00 nm to 9.99 nm). If the plot interval is selected by distance, you will not use up memory points when the boat is an­chored.

A line can be electrically marked on the display to depict a fishing limit line, coastline, small island, danger area, etc. A line is made up of a series of latitude and longitude points: starting, intermediate and end.

WAYPOINTS

In navigation terminology, a particular location is known as a “Waypoint,” whether it be a starting point, a destination point or an intermediate point on a voyage.
WAYPOINT 4
WAYPOINT 3
DANGER POINT
WAYPOINT 2
WAYPOINT 1
Figure 4-1 Waypoints
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.

4.1 Entering W aypoints

A waypoint may be entered by latitude and longitude coordinates, by the cursor, at ship’ s position, by range and bearing, and with position from a navigator.
Waypoint entry by L/L coordinates
Let us assume for purposes of illustration that you wish to enter the position of San Francisco into waypoint 6. The coordinates are: 37 degrees, 40.000 minutes North Latitude, and 122 degrees, 24.000 minutes West Longitude. The keying sequence would be as follows:

ROUTE NAVIGATION

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.

You can store 10 routes and a route may contain up to 15 waypoints. The 3300 automatically assigns a route number from 0-9. Be sure to record all important routes in a separate log and save them to a memory card. This unit is not a fail-safe record keeping device.

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.

Satellite schedule
The satellite schedule shows predicted date and time when the GPS receiver can fix its position by receiving GPS satellites. The time varies according to DOP threshold and position-fixing mode set on the GPS INITIAL SETTINGS menu.
Example 1
Indication: “24 HOURS OK”. (Position fixes by GPS available round the clock.)
Example 2
1. 11:30
(GPS position fixes available from current time to 11:30 of the same day)
2. 9/1 12:00 3:51
(GPS position fixes available from 9/1 12:00 to 9/2 3:51)
3. 9/2 4:05
(GPS position fixes available from 9/2 4:05 to 9/3 4:05.)
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.
10-2
Satellite data
Satellite data is shown as follows: NO: Satellite no.
MODE: Satellite receiving condition
(TRK, Now tracking; USE, Using for position fixing) ELV: Satellite elevation angle AZM: Satellite azimuth (bearing) LVL: Signal level (200 or better to get position fixes)

10.4 GPS Smoothing

Latitude and longitude GPS smoothing
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.

Figure 10-4 Latitude and longitude GPS smoothing
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.
1. Press [MENU] and [8], and then press [] to set the cursor on
PAGE CHANGE (TO GPS INITIAL SETTINGS).
2. Select DELTA LATITUDE and enter latitude offset.
3. Select DELTA LONGITUDE and enter longitude offset.
