Features
The GP-37/GP-32 is a totally integrated GPS
receiver and video plotter, and mainly
consists of a display unit and an antenna unit.
The GP-37 is additionally equipped with a
DGPS beacon receiver, built in the display
unit.
The high sensitivity GPS receiver tracks up to
13 satellites (12 GPS, 1 WAAS)
simultaneously. An 8-state Kalman filter
ensures optimum accuracy in determination
of vessel position, course and speed.
The main features of the GP-37/GP-32 are
• A DGPS beacon receiver may be
connected to the GP-32 to add DGPS
capability.
• WAAS capability.
• Storage for 999 waypoints and 50 routes
• Alarms: Arrival/Anchor Watch, XTE
(Cross-track Error), Trip, Odometer, Time,
WAAS/DGPS, and Speed.
• Man overboard feature records position at
time of man overboard and provides
continuous updates of range and bearing
when navigating to the MOB position.
• 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.
• User displays definable by operator.
• Waypoint and route data can be uploaded
from a PC and downloaded to a PC.

This GPS receiver complies with Canadian standard RSS-210 (Low Power
License-Exempt Radio communication Devices).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.

WHAT IS WAAS?
WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based
Augmentation System) navigation system. An SBAS provider furnishes GPS signal corrections
to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. Two more
SBAS providers are also currently under development, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite
Augmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service)
for Europe. All providers will be compatible with one another, thus providing “seamless” position
fixes to SBAS users.
At the time of this software release, WAAS is still in the developmental phase. During this
developmental phase, which may last several years, there is no guarantee of the accuracy,
integrity, continuity, or availability of the WAAS signal. Therefore, FURUNO will accept no
responsibility for the use of the signal for other than the above stated purpose. It is the user’s
responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgment when using the WAAS
signal.

4. ROUTES
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 Routes
You can store up to 50 routes (numbered 01
to 50) and one LOG route, which is used to
temporarily store a route. A route may be
constructed four ways: by the cursor, by
waypoints entered from the waypoint list, by
waypoints entered from route menu, and by
storing current position automatically or
manually.
A route may contain 30 waypoints. When 30
waypoints have been saved, a message
informs you that you can no longer save
waypoints to the route. Press the [ENT] key
to erase the message and save the route,
under the name of the first and last waypoint
numbers used in the route.
Note: Be sure to record all important routes
in a separate log. This unit is not a fail-safe
record keeping device.

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 9999 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
60 seconds. The setting range is from 0 (no
averaging) to 9999 seconds.
LAT/LON OFFSET (L/L posi tion offset)
You may apply an offset to latitude and
longitude position generated by the GPS
receiver, to increase position accuracy.
DISABLE SV
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 then
press the [ENT] key. To restore a satellite
enter “00”.

7. OTHER FUNCTIONS
DISABLE GEO
Like GPS satellites, the GPS receiver
automatically eliminates any malfunctioning
WAAS satellite. To disable a WAAS satellite
manually, enter three-digit satellite number
with the cursor pad and then press the [ENT]
key. To restore a satellite, enter “000”.
FIX MODE
Chooses 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.

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 choosing a mounting location
for the antenna unit, keep in mind the
following points:
•
Choose 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
to keep it free of interfering objects and
water spray, which can interrupt reception
of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.
•
See the outline drawing for the antenna
unit at the back of this manual for minimum
separation distances from other antennas.
•
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 below, after running the cable
through the hole.

•
Do not shorten the antenna cable.
•
The antenna unit can be installed three
ways: screwed into a pipe (local supply),
fixed to a post with the optional mast
mounting kit, or screwed into an optional
mounting base. For fixing by post or pipe, it
is recommended to use stays to secure the
post or pipe to prevent damage to the GPS
receiver by vibration.

Ground
Grounding
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 for the display unit should
be 1.25sq or larger and 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.
External equipment
The power supply port is commonly used for
connection of external equipment such as a
radar. Refer to the interconnection diagram
on page S-1 or S-2 for connection of external
equipment.
POWER
(12-24 VDC)
* = Cut unused cores
and tape individually.
Wiring
Note: The fuse holder contains a spring that
fixes the fuse. To prevent detachment of the
spring, which would cause loss of power, tie
the line as shown below.
