Turning On and Off the Power
When turning on the power the following occurs: 12 seconds after turning on the power, accurate position (in latitude and longitude) appears on the display. If position could not be found, "NO FIX" appears at the GPS receiving condition window. When PDOP value exceeds 6 in the 3D mode or HDOP value exceeds 4 in the 2D mode, "DOP" appears to indicate abnormal fixing and the position indication is not updated. When the satellite signal is being received normally, one of the indications shown in Table 1-1 appears depending on equipment setting and GPS receiver state. Table 1-1 GPS receiver indication
Equipment setting 2D 3D Differential 2D Differential 3D GPS receiver state indication GPS 2D (normal) GPS 3D (normal) D2D (normal) D3D (normal)
The GP-90-DUAL takes about 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very first time. Other times it takes about 12 seconds. Note: The GPS provides highly accurate position information. However, position should always be checked against other aids to navigation to confirm reliability, for the safety of vessel and crew.

The Interface Unit
The Interface Unit IF-2500 outputs data received from the navigators to external equipment. Operational status is shown by the LEDs on the unit. For further details, see the chapter on installation. For how to select data to output, see paragraph 8.4 Outputting Data.
Output data conventions

Since both navigators output data to the IF-2500 (through two ports on the interface) confusion would reign if it were to try to output two sets of mostly identical data. Therefore, data output is governed by the following rules: When both navigators are outputting data correctly, data received at the port having higher priority is output. When the GPS abnormal receive signal is received at the port having higher priority, data received from the other port is output. 30 seconds after data received at the port having higher priority becomes normal, the interface unit resumes outputting data received from that port. When data from both navigators is in error, data received at the port having higher priority is output. Arrival alarm signal or cross track error alarm is converted to a contact signal and output when received at the port having higher priority. When no data is received from one or both navigators, a contact signal is output.

4.1 Entering Waypoints
In navigation terminology a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination waypoint.

Waypoints can be registered four ways: by cursor 3) Use the cursor pad to place the cursor on the location desired for the waypoint. 4) Press the [NU/CU ENT] key.
A window similar to the one shown in Figure 4-3 appears. The waypoint's position and date and time registered appear on the first and second lines. Waypoints are automatically given the youngest empty waypoint number and this number appears on the third line. You may, however, assign a different number. If the waypoint shares the same position with a mark, the mark's position and date and time entered are registered as waypoint data. If the waypoint memory is full, the waypoint number line in the window is blank. In this case waypoints cannot be entered unless a waypoint is written over or erased.

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-90-DUAL can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly. The GP-90-DUAL 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. Routes are mutually registered when the navigators are sharing data.

The range and bearing to a destination can be calculated two ways: Great Circle or Rhumb Line. However, cross track error is calculated in 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. 1) Press [MENU ESC], [9] and [1] to display the PLOTTER SETUP menu.

8.1 GPS SETUP Menu
Menu description
Fix mode
normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix changes greatly.
GPS smoothing, speed
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 line of sight of the GPS receiver.
ANT Height
During position fixing, ships 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
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
Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based on average ships speed over a given period. The default setting is one minute. Change the setting if the ETA seems wrong.
RAIM function/RAIM accuracy
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 ships speeds. "0" is the
RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) is a diagnostic function which tests the accuracy of the GPS signal within the range set with "RAIM Accuracy" on the GPS SETUP 2/2 menu. The receiver displays (provided the RAIM function is active) three levels of position confidence according to the results of the test as shown below. "CAUTION" indicates that RAIM could not be assessed. In this case, provided the GPS signal is normal, GPS position is safe to use.

Outputting Data
Besides its fundamental function of displaying position, the GP-90-DUAL can also receive data and output data to external equipment, through an interface unit. Before outputting data to external equipment, first determine what data the external equipment requires. Output only necessary data to ensure data will be output correctly. All data transmitted by marine electronics equipment are prefixed with a two-character code called a talker. The same talker must be shared by the transmitting and receiving equipment to transmit and receive data successfully. The GP-90-DUAL transmits data using the GP (GPS talker), LC (Loran) or DE (Decca) talker.

Antenna Unit
Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram on page D-4. 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 interrupt or prevent 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.

Initial Settings
The GP-90-DUAL can output navigation information to external equipment through the Interface Unit IF-2500. For example, it can output position data to a radar or echo sounder for display on their screen. 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-90-DUAL contains the talkers GP, LC and DE. Data format and data output availability The type of data which can be transmitted depends on format. Output data sentence of IEC 61162-1 and NMEA 0183 Ver. 1.5/Ver. 2.0.

Parts List
This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components are used. FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd. believes identifying these components is of no value for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in the manual. Major modules can be located on the parts location photos on the next page.
