The compact display unit and antenna unit permit installation where space is limited.

The main features are

General

• Bright 5.7-inch (GP-1670F) or 7-inch (GP-1870F) color LCD with brilliance control.

• Excellent viewing angles, even when wearing sunglasses.

• Internal GPS receiver provides highly accurate position information (GPS, within 2.5 m, SBAS, within 2 m).

• Customizable analog and digital displays show wind angle and speed, engine condition (speed, temperature, oil pressure, etc.), etc.

• Large internal memory stores 30,000 track points, 30,000 points, 1,000 routes (500 waypoints/ route).

• SD card slot accepts SD and SDHC cards for external storage of data and settings.

• Full range of alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross-track Error, Speed, Depth, Temperature, Fish Alarm, Bottom Alarm, etc.

• Man overboard (MOB) feature records latitude and longitude coordinates at the time of MOB.

• CAN bus interface for the connection of GPS Receiver, Weather Station, FI-50 (instrument series), Satellite Compass, etc.

• Accepts NMEA0183 input with optional NMEA data converter.

• Internal GPS antenna available.

• C-Map 4D charts available.

FOREWORD

Fish finder

• Fish finder measures the depth to the bottom and displays underwater conditions in multi-colors* according to echo strength. A monochrome presentation shows the echoes in shades of gray. (*Number of colors depends on network sounder, color sounder.).

• Automatic and manual fish finder operation. Auto mode automatically adjusts range, gain and clutter ac-cording to purpose - fishing or cruising.

• Wide variety of zoom modes for detailed observation of fish and bottom.

• ACCU-FISH

provides length and depth of individual fish. Appropriate transducer required.

Other

• AIS function (requires connection to an AIS transponder) provides navigational information from AIS transponder equipped vessels within 50 nm.

• Instrument displays (steering, engine, weather, and wind) with connection of relevant sensors.

• DSC (Digital Selective Calling) function alerts to DSC messages received and position requests. (Requires DSC capable radiotelephone.)

1.1 Controls

1.1.1 Control description

The controller for this system is either the GP-1670F or the GP-1870F. A key that has two text labels has two functions. The top label is the main function and the bottom label is the secondary function. Short-push to access the main function and long-push (approximately three seconds) to access the secondary function.

You operate the chart plotter with

• Keys

• CursorPad

• RotoKey

• Menus, where you select options

• Context-sensitive menus, where you select options

• Lists, where you can edit items

When you operate a key, a single beep sounds to tell you correct operation. If you do not need the key beep, you can deactivate it from the menu.

SD cards

The SD cards store ship’s tracks, routes, points, settings, etc. The unit accepts SD and SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) type cards and the maximum capacity is 32 GB.

To set a card in the slot, insert the card label side up. If the card does not go in easily, do not use force. Push the card until the card is in position.

To remove a card, Select [Eject SD card] from the full RotoKey menu. Remove the card (with your fingers) after the message "You can eject SD card safely." appears.

Care and handling of SD cards

• Handle the cards carefully; rough handling can damage the card and destroy its contents.

• Make sure the cover is closed at all times. Insert the card fully or remove the card; the cover cannot be closed if the card is inserted partially.

• Remove a card with only your fingers. Do not use metal instruments (like tweezers) to remove the card.

• Do not remove a card during the reading of the card or writing to the card, to prevent damage to the card and loss of the data stored on the card.

1.5 2D Plotter Displays

The plotter provides a small world map. More detailed charts for your area are optionally available. The plotter section has functions to enter waypoints, and create and plan routes.

1-6

The plotter receives position information from the internal GPS receiver. Your position is marked on the screen with the own ship icon. You can change the shape of the icon from the menu. Waypoints and routes you have entered are shown on the display. You can move, delete and edit the waypoints and routes from a context-sensitive menu or through the menu.

The plotter display also

• Plots the track of your boat. • Controls alarm functions.

• Measures distances and bearings. • Follows routes.

• Marks man overboard (MOB) position.

2D plotter display, vector chart

A vector chart is a series of points and lines that make up the features on a chart. Vector charts look computer generated. Details on the chart can be turned on and off. Objects on the chart can be clicked on to learn more details. Depths can be monitored to warn before grounding. When zooming in and out of a vector chart only the geographical features grow larger or smaller where text keeps it's same size and orientation. Vector charts lack most topographical features.

2D plotter display, raster

A raster chart is a direct copy or scan of an existing paper chart. Raster charts look identical to paper charts. All information contained within the chart is printed directly on it. What you see is what you get. When zooming in and out of a raster chart everything on the chart grows larger or smaller. When rotating a raster chart every thing on the chart rotates.

1.8.4 Description of home screen displays

Full screen displays

Plotter: See page 1-7.

Fish finder: See chapter 7.

Tide & Celestial: Your plotter provides for calculation of the tide heights for any date.

Additionally this display shows the time of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset. See section 1.17.

GPS status display: The GPS status display shows the location and RX signal strength of each satellite being received. See section 12.4.

Half screen displays

The half screen displays provide the plotter display, highway display, navigation data, and navigation data plus a graphic display (graph or meter). In most displays the data can be changed. See the end of this section for how to change data.

Plotter: See page 1-7.

Highway: The highway display provides a graphic presentation of your boat’s track

along intended course, and is useful for monitoring ship's progress toward a waypoint.

You can zoom in and zoom out the display by rotating the RotoKey

. The vertical line at the center of the screen is your intended course and the name of the waypoint you are steering to is at top of the line. Steer your boat so that the own ship marker in the XTE scale stays near zero. If you go off course, the direction to steer to return to your course is indicated with the color-coded steer direction arrow. The arrow is red when you should steer to port; green when you should steer to starboard. The width of the navigation lane (black area in the figure below) and the XTE (cross-track error) range scale are equal to the XTE alarm setting. In the example illustration, the boat is

off course to the starboard side by approx 0.3 nm. Rotate the RotoKey

the display range.
