MARINE GPS NAVIGATOR
Display Unit
FURUNO GP-150 is a GPS navigator designed for the SOLAS ships according to the GPS
performance standard IMO Res MSC.112(73) and associated IEC standards effective on and
after July 1, 2003. It is a highly reliable standalone EPFS (electronic position fixing system)
that feeds positioning information to AIS, Radar, VDR, VideoPlotter, Autopilot, Echo Sounder
and Sonar.
Receiver dependability is improved by fault detection using five satellites, i.e., Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) that shows the integrity status in Safe, Caution, and
Unsafe levels. The status is given with respect to user selected accuracy level, 10 m or 100 m.
RAIM also works on DGPS signals.
n for SOLAS carriage requirements as a
device and as a sensor for AIS, Radar, VDR, etc.
s Fully meets new IMO Resolution MSC.112(73) and IEC 61108-1 Ed.2 for SOLAS carriage
requirements on and after 1 July 2003
s Ideal sensor of SOG and COG for AIS, radars, and other navigational aids
s Augmentation to enhance accuracy by standard fitted WAAS
and optional DGPS
s Display modes: VideoPlotter, 3-D Highway,
Text, Steering.
s Memory: 2,000 points for ship's past positions
and marks (incl. 99 event marks max.);
999 waypoints; 30 routes
each containing up to 30
waypoints
Display mode is selectable from VideoPlotter, Text,
Highway and Steering. In the Highway mode, you can
intuitively see how to steer and where the next
waypoint is located relative to your ship. It is useful
when you are following a series of waypoints along a
planned route.

GPS receivers which are
disigned to IMO A.819
after 1 July 2003*. With
the comparison table,
you will see why we say
the new IMO equipment
is epoch making.
* Some Administrations may give a grace period for the current GPS receivers.

1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location whose dimensions are 242 (W) X 152 (H) mm.
2. Insert the unit to the cutout.
3. Attach two flush mount metals to the unit with two hex bolts (M6X12) and two spring
washers.
4. Screw four wing bolts to wing nut.
5. Fasten the unit with wing bolts assembled at step 4, and then tighten nuts.
Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram at end of manual. 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.
• Be sure the location offers a clean line-of-sight to satellite. Objects within line-of-sight to
a satellite, for example, a mast or funnel, block reception and cause prolonged acquiring time
or interruption of position fix.
• Mount the unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna as high as possible keeps it free
of water spray, which can intercept reception of GPS satellite signal, if water spray is frozen.
• The antenna unit GPA-018S must be grounded. Connect ground wire of 1.25 sq or larger
(local supply) between the antenna unit and a stainless steel screw fastened to the mast.
• The antenna unit GPA-018S must be taped. See next page.
• The antenna unit should be fixed to the mast as below.
Coat here with silicone sealant to
prevent breakage of the cable by
vibration.
Wrap the vinyl sheet to prevent
the breakage of the cable, and
then fix it with a hose clamp.

Taping antenna unit GPA-018S
After inserting the whip antenna to the antenna base of GPA-018S, tape the antenna base
and whip antenna with self-vulcanizing tape and vinyl tape to reinforce the whip antenna.
1. Wrap the antenna junction point with butyl rubber tape No.15 (NITTO SINKO COOP.) or
the equivalent.
How to wrap
1) Pull the tape to be about two times in length and wind it up, overlapping by 1/2 the width
of the tape.
2) Wrap from bottom to top, i.e., from right to left as in the picture below.
Butyl rubber tape

3) Wrap the tape from the base to a point about 60 mm, and then back to the base.
Keep tension on edge of tape, using finger to hold tape. Then, squeeze edges of tape
with thumb and index finger.
Wrap approx.
60 mm
2. Completely cover the butyl rubber tape with white vinyl tape, wrapping from the base to
the last wind of butyl rubber tape and then back to the base.
How to wrap
1) Being careful not to pull the tape too tightly, wind tape, overlaping by approx. 1/3 of tape
width.
2) Squeeze edges of tape with thumb and index finger.

Signal to noise ratio
Beacon signal status*
Reference station status*
DGPS signal strength
This value is between 1 and 84.
The higher the value, the stronger the signal.
If a noise appears at reception bandwidth,
the value becomes bigger.
This value is between 1 to 22. The higher
the value, the better the reception of
beacon signal. When this value is less
than 20, the error is included in the
correction data. In this time, position
fixing is done by using past position data.
When the ship is in the service area of a
beacon station, this value should be 21 or
22. If not, check as follows.
• Check the grounding.
• Check the radar beam interference.
• Check the noise of power generator of
the ship.
*It is necessary that GPS is working properly.
When GPS is malfunctioning though DGPS is normal,
the message "No Good" may be shown.

Input/Output Setting
The GP-150 can output navigation information to external equipment. For example, it can
output position data to a radar or echo sounder for display on their display screen. You can
convert a Loran Plotter to a GPS Plotter with position data from the GP-150.
Before selecting data to output, confirm what data the external equipment requires. Output
necessary data only. Outputting unnecessary data can cause receiving problems at the
external equipment.
Talker
All data transmitted by marine electronics equipment is prefixed with a two-character code
which tells external equipment what equipment is transmitting data. This two-character code
is called the talker. The GP-150 contains the talkers GP, LC and DE.
Because GPS is a relatively new system some early model equipments do not recognize
the GP talker name. In this case transmit data using a conventional talker, which equipment
recognizes, such as Loran C.

TX Rate of operation
The TX rate of operation is the percentage of data output in one second, and it appears on
the screen. Refer to page 18. If short intervals are assigned to many sentences, the rate of
operation increases as illustrated below

TX rate of operation: High
Note 1: When outputting data without rest intervals between data, TX rate of operation is
100%. In this case, wrong data may be shown on the receiver because it cannot
recognize intervals between data. Thus, do not output unnecessary data or set TX
interval to large value so that TX rate of operation becomes small.
Note 2: When the external equipment cannot display correct data input from the GP-150,
the rate of operation should be lowered. For example, set a rate of operation less
than 60 % for the Temperature Indicator TI-20.

4.4 Registering Routes
Often a trip from one place to another
involves several course changes, requiring a
series of route points which you navigate to,
one after another. The sequence of
waypoints leading to the ultimate destination
is called a route. The GP-150 can
automatically advance to the next waypoint
on a route, so you do not have to change the
destination waypoint repeatedly.
The GP-150 can store 30 routes and each
route may contain up to 30 waypoints.
Routes can be registered while in the Plotter
1 or Plotter 2 display mode.

5.4 Finding Range and
Bearing Between Two
Points
Selecting Course Sailing Method
The range and bearing to a destination are
calculated by two ways: Great Circle or
Rhumb Line. However, cross track error is
calculated by rhumb line only.
Great Circle: The great circle courseline is
the shortest course between two points on
the surface of the earth. (Imagine stretching a
piece of yarn between two points on the
earth.) However, this course requires
frequent change of heading to follow course
faithfully.
Rhumb Line: The rhumb line courseline is
the straight line drawn between two points on
a nautical chart. This course does not require
frequent changes of heading however it is not
the shortest since it follows the earth's
curvature.

8.1 GPS Menu
Menu description
Fix mode
Two position fixing modes are available: 2D
and 2/3D. The 2D mode provides two
dimensional position fixes (latitude and
longitude only) and is used when three
satellites are in line of sight of the GPS
receiver.
The 2/3D mode switches between two and
three dimension position fixing automatically
depending on how many satellites (three or
four) are in light of sight of the GPS receiver.
ANT Height
Enter the height of the antenna unit above
sea surface (000-999 ft, 000-304 m). The
default setting is 16 ft.
Disable satellite
Every GPS satellite is broadcasting
abnormal satellite number(s) in the Almanac.
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 on the GPS
SETUP menu.
GPS 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 9 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.
GPS smoothing, speed
During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed
and course) is directly measured by
receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw
velocity data may change 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." "5" is suitable for most conditions.
Speed average
Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based on
average ship’s speed over a given period.
The default setting is one minute.
RAIM function/RAIM accuracy
RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity
Monitoring) is a diagnostic function which
tests the accuracy of the GPS signal. To use
the RAIM function, enter the range (from
own ship in meters) for which you want to
know position confidence, on the GPS Setup
2/2 menu. The receiver estimates position
confidence using range value and detected
satellite error, and displays (provided the
RAIM function is active) the results as one of
three levels of position confidence, at the top
right-hand corner of the screen. The three
levels are as follows:
SAFE: GPS signal is normal. The positioning
accuracy satisfies the setting value.
CAUTION: RAIM accuracy cannot be
calculated. (Signals from more than five GPS
satellites are necessary.) The positioning
accuracy does not satisfy the setting value.
UNSAFE: GPS signal is abnormal, therefore
the positioning accuracy is not reliable. Note
that the GP-150 does not exclude abnormal
signals automatically.
8. MENU SETTINGS

Geodetic datum
Select the geodetic chart system you are
using. WGS-84 (standard GPS chart system)
and NAD 27 can be directly selected. For
other charts, select "OTHER" and enter chart
number referring to the geodetic chart list in
the Appendix.
To output position data to ECDIS (Electronic
Chart Display and Information System), turn
on the power while holding down the [0] key.
This disables access to the Geodetic Datum
menu. Then, "Cannot be changed" is shown
in the Geodetic Datum menu as in Figure 8-2
on the next page. To stop outputting position
data to ECDIS, turn on the power while
holding down the [0] key.
Position offset
You may apply an offset to position
generated by the internal GPS receiver, to
compensate for difference between GPS
position and chart position.
Time difference
The GPS system uses UTC time. If you
would rather use local time, enter the
difference in hours between local time and
UTC. Use the numeric keys for times later or
earlier than UTC, respectively.
Position
When executing cold start there is no
satellite information in the unit’s memory,
thus it may take some time to find position.
To fix position faster, enter estimated
position.
