SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions for the Operator
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel should work inside
the equipment.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.
Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if the equipment is emitting
smoke or fire.
Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO
agent for service.
Keep heater away from equipment.
CAUTION
Do not use the equipment for other than
its intended purpose.
Improper use of the equipment can result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
No one navigation device should ever
be solely replied upon for the navigation
of a vessel.
Always confirm position against all available aids to navigation, for safety of vessel
and crew.
GPS position and velocity accuracies
are controlled by the U.S. Department of
Defense. Position may be degraded
up to 100 meters.
A heater can melt the equipment’s power
cord, which can cause fire or electrical
shock.
Use the proper fuse.
A 1A fuse is provided in the power/data
cable. Use only a 1A fuse—use of a wrong
fuse can result in equipment damage.

before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
Be sure that the power supply is
compatible with the voltage rating of
the equipment.
Connection of an incorrect power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage. The
voltage rating of the equipment appears
on the label above the power connector.

FOREWORD
A Word to GP-31/GP-36
Owners
Congratulations on your choice of the GP31 GPS Navigator , GP-36 DGPS Navigator.
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.
Your navigator 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

Features
The GP-31/GP-36 is a totally integrated GPS
receiver and video plotter, and consists of a
display unit and an antenna unit.
The GP-36 additionally has a DGPS beacon
receiver built in its display unit. The high sensitivity GPS receiver tracks up to twelve satellites simultaneously . An 8-state Kalman filter
ensures optimum accuracy in determination
of vessel position, course and speed.
The main features of the GP-31/GP-36 are
• A DGPS beacon receiver (external) may
be connected to the GP-31 to add DGPS
function.
• Comprehensive navigation data displays
• Storage for 950 waypoints and 50 routes
• Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, XTE
(Cross-track Error), Trip, T ime, DGPS, and
Speed.
• Man overboard feature records latitude
and longitude or TD (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
• Autopilot (option) may be connected, and
steering data output to the 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 TD (Loran C or
Decca).
• Waypoint and route data can be uploaded
from a PC or downloaded to a PC.

2. PLOTTER DISPLAY OVERVIEW
2.1 Enlarging/Shrinking the
Display Range
You may increase or decrease the display
range on the plotter and highway displays.
The horizontal range in the plotter display
is available among .02 (40 yd), .05 (101 yd),
0.1 (202 yd), 0.2 (405 yd), 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10,
20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 nautical miles.
(Nautical mile is the default unit of display
range. Display range may also be shown
in kilometers or miles. Ranges shorter than
the value 0.5 are also shown in yards or
meters.) The horizontal range in the highway display is available among 0.2, 0.4, 0.8,
1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 nautical miles.
1. Press the [MENU] key. The zoom, ship
centering window appears.
2.2 Shifting the Cursor
Use the cursor pad to shift the cursor. The
cursor moves in the direction of the arrow
or diagonal pressed on the cursor pad.
Cursor state and data
Cursor state determines what data is shown
on the display.
Cursor turned on
Cursor position is displayed in latitude and
longitude or TDs (depending on menu setting) at the bottom of the plotter display
when the cursor is on. The range and bearing from own ship to the cursor appear at
the left-hand side of the display.
Figure 2-1 Zoom, ship centering window
Note: The prompt “SHIP TO CENTER?”
does not appear when the highway
display mode is active.
2. Press the [ENT] key. The zoom window
appears.

display when the cursor is turned off
2.3 Shifting the Display
2.5 Changing Track Plotting Interval, Stopping Plotting of Track
To trace the ship’s track, the ship’s position
is stored into the memory at an interval of
distance or automatic recording (memory
capacity: 1,000 points). For distance, a
shorter interval provides better reconstruction of the track, but the storage time of the
track is reduced. When the track memory
becomes full, the oldest track is erased to
make room for the latest.
1. Press the [MENU] key once or twice to
display the menu.
The display can be shifted on the plotter
display. Operate the cursor pad to place the
cursor at an edge of the screen. The display shifts in the direction opposite to cursor pad operation.
2.4 Centering Own Ship’s Position
When own ship tracks off the display the
own ship mark is automatically returned to
the screen center. You can also return it
manually as follows:
1. Press the [MENU] key.
2. Select SHIP TO CENTER?.
3. Press the [ENT] key.
Figure 2-5 Menu
2. Select PLOTTER.
3. Press the [ENT] key.

3. WAYPOINTS (MARKS)
3.1 Entering Waypoints
In navigation terminology a waypoint is a
particular location on a voyage whether it
be a starting, intermediate or destination
waypoint. Your unit can store 950
waypoints. Waypoints can be entered on
the plotter display four ways: at cursor position, at own ship’s position, through the
menu (manual input of L/L or TD), and by
MOB position.
Entering a waypoint by the cursor
1. On the plotter display, use the cursor
pad to place the cursor on the location
you want to make a waypoint.
2. Press the [ENT] key. The following window appears.
c) Press to move the cursor to the
next column and press ▲ or ▼ to dis-
play B.
d) Press to move the cursor to the
next column and press ▲ or ▼ to dis-
play E.
e) Press the [ENT] key. The following
window appears.

3. The cursor is on the second line of the
display. This is where you may enter
waypoint name, which may consist of
six characters. (The number shown is
the youngest empty waypoint number.
If you would rather have the unit register the waypoint under that number, and
you do not need to change mark shape
or enter a comment, press the [ENT] key
twice to register the waypoint and finish.) To enter KOBE as the waypoint
name, for example, do the following:
4. This window is where you can select
mark shape, enter a comment, and log
the waypoint to a route. (If you do not
need to change mark shape, enter a
comment, or save waypoint to a route,
select “Exit?” and press the [ENT] key
to finish.) How to log waypoints to a
route will be discussed in the chapter
on routes.
a) Use the cursor pad to place the cur-
sor under MARK.
b) Press the [ENT] key.
c) Select mark desired with ▲ or ▼.
