In many cases a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of waypoints which you
navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate
destination is called a route. Your unit 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
You can store up to 50 routes (numbered
01 to 50) and one LOG route, and each
route may contain up to 30 waypoints. A
route may be constructed four ways: by the
cursor, through the waypoints list, current
position (track-based route) and through the
route menu.
Note: Be sure to record all important routes
in a separate log. This unit is not a fail-safe
record keeping device.
4. ROUTES

GPS SETUP menu description
SMOOTH POS (Smoothing position)
When the DOP (Dilution of Precision, the
index for position-fixing accuracy) 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. The setting range is from 0 (no smoothing) to 999
seconds. 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.
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. The setting range is
from 0 (no smoothing) to 999 seconds.
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. The setting range
is from 0 (no averaging) to 99 minutes.
LAT/LON OFFSET (L/L position offset)
You may apply an offset to latitude and longitude 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. To restore a
satellite enter “00”.
FIX MODE
Selects position fixing method; 2D or 2/3D.
2D requires three satellites in view of the
GPS receiver; 2/3D requires three or four
satellites in view of the GPS receiver, whichever is available. When the 2D mode is
selected, enter the antenna height above
the waterline, to obtain accurate position
data. The default setting is 5 m. The table
provides common feet equivalents.

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 drawings at the end of this manual
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 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.
• Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic
compass. Standard compass, 0.5 m,
Steering compass, 0.3 m.
Tabletop and overhead mounting
9.2 Installation of Antenna Unit
Mounting considerations
Install the antenna unit referring to the antenna installation diagram at the end of this
manual. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the
following points:
• Do not shorten the antenna cable.
• Select a location out of the radar beam.
The radar beam will obstruct or prevent
reception of the GPS signal.
•
The location should be well away from a
VHF/UHF antenna. A GPS receiver is interfered by a harmonic wave of a VHF/
UHF 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
GPA-018 (for GP-36) should be no
longer than 1.2 meter to prevent antenna
damage. Do not use a 2.5 meter whip
antenna.

Flush mounting
There are two types of flush mounting kits.
For details, see the outline drawings at the
end of this manual for details.
• 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.

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 (for GP-36)
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 crimpon lug on the ground wire with silicone
sealant.
• The power of this equipment is not isolated, thus the earth lamp may light when
the antenna unit GPA-018 is grounded.
If it lights, attach two capacitors (1mF,
0.1mF) in parallel to the antenna earth
line.
External equipment
The power supply port is commonly used
for connection of external equipment such
as navigation equipment or a PC. Refer to
the interconnection diagram on page S-1
or S-2 for connection.
