Note: The course means the direction of own ship’s movement, it is not the direction of heading. The cursor includes the affect of current and wind. Depth and water temperature graphs The depth and water temperature graphs, which require appropriate sensors, show the latest 10 minutes of depth and water temperature data. The range of the depth graph is 50 feet and it is automatically adjusted with depth. XTE (cross-track error) monitor The black boat-shaped (own ship mark) mark shows ship’s cross-track from the intended course and direction, and amount to steer to return to course. It is shown in black when the amount of cross-track error is within the XTE monitor range and yellow when it is over. An arrow appears at the right or left side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to steer to return to the intended course. The arrow is shown in red when you should steer left, and green when you should steer right. In the example on the previous page you would steer right to return to course set. To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship marker stays at the center of the XTE monitor. 2-5 2.

WAYPOINT In navigation terminology, a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination point. A waypoint is the simplest piece of information your equipment requires to get you a destination, in the shortest distance possible. 5.1 Entering Waypoints This unit has 3500 waypoints into which you can enter position information. There are seven methods by which you can enter a waypoint: at own ship’s position, by cursor, by latitude and longitude, by range and bearing, by Loran-C, by Loran-A LOP and by Decca LOP. 5.1.1 Entering waypoints at own ship’s position • Press the [SAVE/MOB] key momentarily. The message “WAYPOINT XXXXXX IS SAVED! CONTINUE PRESSING FOR MOB!” appears for three seconds to let you know that ship’s position is saved as a waypoint. The default waypoint mark is a yellow solid circle. You can know shape and color of the selected waypoint by the icon ( ) at the bottom of the plotter (or pilot) display. This new waypoint will automatically be saved in the waypoint list under the next consecutive waypoint number. Note: If the waypoint icon does not appear at the bottom of the plotter (or pilot) display, do the following. a) Press the [MENU], [0], [1] in that order to show the DISPLAY SETUP menu. b) Select “1. ON” at “WAYPOINT STATUS” from page 2/2. 5-1 5. WAYPOINT 5.1.2 Entering waypoints by the cursor 1. When the cursor is off, press the [CURSOR ON/OFF] key to display the cursor. 2.

Cursor SAVE WAYPOINT WAYPOINT NAME 000001 PRESS NUMERIC KEY TO ENTER WAYPOINT NAME. PRESS KNOB TO SAVE WAYPOINT. Save waypoint window Note: The SAVE WAYPOINT WINDOW will be erased automatically if there is no operation within 10 seconds. 4. If desired, press the numeric keys to change the waypoint number (max. six digits). (The waypoint is named automatically under the next consecutive waypoint number.) If you do not need to change the waypoint number, go to step 5. To reset the waypoint number to 000000, press the [CLEAR] key, the waypoint name becomes “000000.” Each time a number key is pressed the cursor jumps one place leftward. 5. Press the [ENTER] knob. The message “WAYPOINT XXXXXX IS SAVED!” appears on the screen for three seconds The waypoint icon ( default setting) at the bottom of the plotter (or pilot) display shows current waypoint shape. Note 1: If waypoint does not appear the icon is not appeared at the bottom of the plotter (or pilot) display, do the following. a) Press the [MENU], [0], [1] in that order to show the DISPLAY SETUP menu. b) Select “1. ON” at “WAYPOINT STATUS” on page 2/2. Note 2: If the above operation is done when the cursor is off, the waypoint is entered at own ship’s position. Note 3: When the waypoint name entered at step 3 already exists, the message “WAYPOINT XXXXXX ALREADY EXISTS. ENTER ANOTHER NAME.” appears.

When selecting EXT, EXT LORAN-C or ALL, “EXT” appears at the bottom of the PLOTTER (PILOT) display. LOCAL TIME (INT GPS) GPS uses UTC time. If you would rather use local time, key in the time difference between it and UTC time. Use the [CURSOR ON/OFF] key to switch from “+” to “-” and vice versa. LOCAL TIME (EXT NAV) If the NMEA time data fed from external equipment is wrong and cannot be corrected at the external equipment, enter an offset here to correct it. Use the [CURSOR ON/OFF] key to switch from “+” to “-” and vice versa. GEODETIC DATUM Your unit is preprogrammed with most of the major chart systems of the world. Although the WGS-84 system, the GPS standard, is now widely used other categories of charts still exist. Select the chart system used, not the area where your boat is sailing. 1. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to select GEODETIC DATUM. 2. Roll the trackball in left-right direction to select the chart system you are using. The geodetic datum system selected appears at the bottom of the PLOTTER (or PILOT) display. WGS84: WGS-84 is selected. TOKYO: TOKYO-MN is selected. LOCAL: Other chart system is selected. POSITION SMOOTHING When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change, even if the vessel is dead in water. This change can be reduced by smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 000 to 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. 000 is the normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix changes. 9-17 9. CUSTOMIZING YOUR UNIT SPEED SMOOTHING During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed) 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 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 all zeroes. SPEED AVERAGING (INT) Calculation of ETA and TTG 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 the setting accordingly if calculation error occurs. SPEED AVERAGING (EXT) Speed averaging for the ship’s speed data received from external equipment in NMEA format.

Almanac Every GPS satellite is broadcasting general orbital data (called Almanac) about all other satellites. The GPS receiver decodes the Almanac to calculate when and at what angle the GPS satellite is to appear. If there is no Almanac in the receiver the estimated arrival time of the GPS satellite cannot be found and thus GPS position fix cannot be calculated. The GPS receiver is shipped with no Almanac in its memory. When the power is first turned on after installation the receiver starts receiving the Almanac. This is called “cold start.” Each time the GPS receiver receives orbital data the Almanac is replaced with the latest one. 11-10 MENU TREE [MENU] key 1. WAYPOINTS LIST SORT (1. ALPHA, 2. DIST, 3.

AP-8 WHAT IS WAAS? WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the woridwide SBAS (Satelite Based Augmentation System) navigation system. CBAS provides 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. The illustration below shows the coverage area. (Accuracy may be affected when using a GEO satellite not within your current location.) 150°W 120°W 90°W 60°W 30°W 0 30°E 60°E 90°E 120°E 150°E 60°N 60°N 40°N EGNOS MSAS 40°N 20°N 20°N 122 0 120 134 131 0 WAAS 20°S 20°S 40°S 40°S Satellite, Region 120, AOR-E 60°S 60°S 122, AOR-W 131, IOR 134, POR 150°W 120°W 90°W 60°W 30°W 0 30°E 60°E 90°E 120°E Position 15.5°W 54°W 64.5°E 178°E 150°E At the time of this software release, SBAS is still under development (Providers are expected to have initial operations capability from the times shown above.) During this developmental period, which may last for several years, there is no guarantee of the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the SBAS signal. 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 while using the SBAS signal. Users are reminded that the SBAS has not been commissioned for use in safety of life applications (SOLAS) and must be turned to the "OFF" position on any SOLAS vessels.
