FOREWORD
A Word to GP-1850D/1850 Owners
Congratulations on your choice of the
FURUNO GP-1850D COLOR DGPS/PLOT TER, GP-1850 COLOR GPS/PLOTTER. We
are confident you will see why the FURUNO
name has become synonymous with quality
and reliability.
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.
This equipment 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

Thank you for considering and purchasing
FURUNO equipment.
Features
The GP-1850D is a totally integrated DGPS
beacon receiver, GPS receiver, and color
video plotter. The GP-1850 mostly shares the
same features with the GP-1850D except it
does not have a built-in DGPS beacon receiver.
Navigation information is displayed on a
bright 6.5-inch color TFT LCD. On-screen information shown are position, range and
bearing to cursor position, range, bearing,
ETA and TTG to waypoint, etc.
A high sensitivity receiver tracks up to twelve
satellites simultaneously . An 8-state Kalman
filter ensures optimum accuracy in determination of vessel position, course and speed.
C-MAP NT-FP chart card is available for the
GP-1850/1850D C-MAP NT.
The main features of the GP-1850D/GP-1850
are
• Comprehensive navigation data displays.
• Bright 6.5-inch color TFT LCD with temperature compensated tone and brilliance
control.
• Automatic coastline chart loading.
• Position display in latitude and longitude,
Loran C or Decca TDs.
• Improved position accuracy with optional
DGPS beacon receiver (GP-1850).
• Accepts both FURUNO and NAVIONICS
or C-MAP NT mini chart cards.
• Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross-track
Error, Speed, Proximity.
• Man overboard feature records latitude
and longitude coordinates at time of man
overboard.
• “Highway” display provides graphic presentation of ship’s track and is useful for
monitoring cross track error.

1.3 Inserting Mini Chart Card
Insert appropriate mini chart card before turning on the power.
1. Push down the lid catch to open the mini
chart card slot cover.
Card slot
Figure 1-3 Location of mini chart
card slot cover
2. Insert appropriate mini chart card groove
side up.
Your equipment takes about 90 seconds to
find its position when turned on for the very
first time. This is because the equipment has
no satellite data, called the Almanac, in its
database. If you want to lessen the time
needed to find position you may enter your
position manually (default position: San Francisco, USA) on the GPS SETUP OPTIONS
menu.
Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find
position each time the power is turned on.
When the satellite signal is being received
normally , the equipment displays various abbreviations at the bottom left-hand corner of
the display which show DGPS/GPS receiver
status. Table 1-1 shows these abbreviations
and their meanings.
3. Close the slot cover to protect the chart
drive. (Keep the slot cover closed at all
times.)
Note: T urn off power before inserting or ejecting the mini chart card.
1.4 Turning the Power On/Off
Press the [POWER/BRILL] key at bottom lefthand side of the display unit to turn on the
power. When the unit is turned on, it proceeds
in the sequence shown in Figure 1-4, after
displaying the FURUNO information display .
Displayed for about five seconds.
