Features
The GP-30/35 GPS Navigator is a totally
integrated GPS receiver and video plotter,
and consists of a display unit and an antenna
unit. The high sensitivity receiver tracks up
to eight satellites simultaneously . An 8-state
Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in
determination of vessel position, course and
speed.
The main features of the GP-30/35 are
• GP-35 has a built-in DGPS beacon receiver which improves position accuracy .
• A DGPS beacon receiver may be connected to the GP-30.
• Man overboard feature records latitude
and longitude or LOP (Loran C or Decca)
coordinates at time of man overboard and
provides continuous updates of range and
bearing when navigating to the MOB
position.
• Menu-driven operation
• Bright 95 x 60 mm LCD with adjustable
contrast and brilliance
• Power consumption is a low 3 W.
• Provision for connection of autopilot (option) – steering data output to autopilot
• Unique “Highway” display provides a
graphic presentation of ship’ s progress toward a waypoint.
• Own ship’s position may be shown in latitude and longitude or LOP (Loran C or
Decca).
• Waypoint and route data can be uploaded
from a PC or downloaded to a PC.

Press and hold down the [DIM/PWR] key.
The unit beeps and then starts up with the
last-used display mode.
The GP-30/35 takes about two minutes to
find its position when turned on for the very
first time. This is because the default position is San Francisco, USA. If you want to
lessen the time needed to find position you
may enter your position manually on the
SIMULATOR screen of the SYSTEM
SETUP MENU, referring to 1.7 Simulator
Display on page 1-8. Thereafter it takes
about 20 seconds to find position each time
the power is turned on.
If position could not be found, “GPS NO
FIX” appears at the center of the display.
When the satellite signal is being received
normally , the GP-30/35 displays various abbreviations at the top left-hand corner of the
display which show receiver status. Table
1-1 shows these abbreviations and their
meanings.

4. ROUTES
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. The GP30/35 can automatically advance to the next
waypoint on a route, so you do not have to
change the destination waypoint repeatedly .
4.1 Creating a Route
Y ou can store up to 30 routes and each route
may contain up to 30 waypoints. The unit
numbers routes from 01 to 30. The easiest
way to create a route is to enter appropriate
waypoints beforehand and select them from
the waypoint list. However, you may also
enter waypoints while creating a route.
Registering a route
The procedure which follows describes how
to create a route from two waypoints in Japan, KOBE and OSAKA.

SMOOTH S/C (Smoothing speed/
course)
During position fixing, ship’s velocity
(speed and course) is directly measured by
receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may changes 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 the more
smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too
high, however, the response to speed and
course change slows. For no smoothing,
enter “0”.
AVR. SPEED (Speed averaging)
Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based
on average ship's speed over a given period.
If the period is too long or too short calculation error will result. Change this setting if
calculation error occurs. The default setting
is one minute.
GPS SETUP menu description
SMOOTH POS (Smoothing 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 999 is
available. The higher the setting the more
smoothed the raw data, however too high a
setting slows response time to change in latitude and longitude. This is especially noticeable at high ship’s speeds. “0” is the
normal setting; increase the setting if the
GPS fix changes greatly.
LAT/LON OFFSET (Position offset)
You may apply an offset to position generated by the GPS receiver, to increase position accuracy.
DISABLE SV (Disable satellite)
Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in its Almanac,
which contains general orbital data about all
GPS satellites. Using this information, the
GPS receiver automatically eliminates any
malfunctioning satellite from the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac
sometimes may not contain this information.
You can disable an inoperative satellite
manually . Enter satellite number in two digits and press the [ENT] key . T o restore a satellite enter “0”.

9. INSTALLATION
9.1 Installation of Display Unit
Mounting considerations
The display unit can be installed on a tabletop, on the overhead, or in a panel (optional
flush mounting kit required). Refer to the
outline drawing on page D-2, D-3 or D-4
for installation instructions. When selecting
a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes
and vents.
• The mounting location should be well
ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Locate the display unit away from equipment which generates electromagnetic
fields such as a motor or generator.
• Allow sufficient maintenance space at the
sides and rear of the unit and leave sufficient slack in cables, to facilitate maintenance and servicing.
Tabletop and overhead mounting

There are two types of flush mounting kits.
For details, see the outline drawing on page
D-3 and D-4.
Overhead
9.2 Installation of Antenna Unit
Mounting considerations
Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram on page D-1. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna
unit, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location out of the radar beam.
The radar beam will obstruct or prevent
reception of the GPS satellite signal.
• The location should be well away from a
VHF antenna. A GPS receiver is interfered by a harmonic wave of a VHF antenna.
• There should be no interfering object
within the line-of-sight to the satellites.
Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite,
for example, a mast, may block reception
or prolong acquisition time.
• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna unit as high
as possible keeps it free of interfering
objects and water spray , which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if
the water freezes.
• The length of the whip antenna for the
GP-35 should be no longer than 1.2 meter
to prevent antenna damage. Do not use a
2.5 meter whip antenna.
• Do not shorten the antenna cable.
• If the antenna cable is to be passed
through a hole which is not large enough
to pass the connector, you may unfasten
the connector with a needle nose pliers
and 3/8-inch open-end wrench. Refasten
it as shown in Figure 9-2 after running
the cable through the hole.

Fuse holder
+ line (red)
The display unit contains a CPU. While it is
operating, it radiates noise, which can interfere with radio equipment. Ground the unit
as follows to prevent interference:
• The ground wire should be 1.25sq or
larger.
• The ground wire should be as short as
possible.
• The signal ground and frame ground are
separated, however the power line is not
isolated. Therefore, do not connect the
signal ground to the frame ground when
connecting other equipment to a positive
ground battery.
• The antenna unit GPA-018 must be
grounded. Connect a ground wire of
1.25sq or larger (local supply) between
the ground terminal on the antenna unit
and a stainless steel screw fastened to the
mast. Coat the ground terminal, stainless
steel screw and crimp-on lugs on the
ground wire with silicone sealant.
• The power of the GP-35 is not isolated,
thus the earth lamp may light when the
antenna unit is grounded. If it lights, attach two capacitors (1µF, 0.1µF) in parallel to the antenna earth line.
External equipment
