4. NAVIGATION PLANNING 4.1 Registering Waypoints In navigation terminology a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination waypoint. The GP-150 can store 999 waypoints, numbered from 001-999. Waypoints can be registered four ways: • by cursor • by MOB position or event position • at own ship's position • by range and bearing from position, and • through the waypoint list. Registering waypoints by the cursor 1) Press the WPT RTE key.
4. NAVIGATION PLANNING 6) Press to select waypoint mark shape. The following display appears. : Cursor ENT: Enter MENU: Escape Figure 4-4 Screen for selecting waypoint mark shape 7) Press or to select mark shape. 8) Press the NU/CU ENT key.

4. NAVIGATION PLANNING Registering waypoints by MOB position/event position Registering waypoints by own ship's position The MOB position or an event position can be registered as a waypoint. Event marks are numbered from 01 to 99; 01 is the latest event mark. Note: When there is no position data, you cannot register a waypoint at own ship's position. The buzzer sounds and the following message appears.
4. NAVIGATION PLANNING Note: Alternatively, you may enter position, leaving the waypoint number blank.

The message shown in Figure 4-12 appears if the waypoint is currently selected as destination, is part of a route, or is in the route currently selected as destination.
4. NAVIGATION PLANNING 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.
4. NAVIGATION PLANNING 2 Using previously registered waypoints Enter waypoints in the order they will be traversed; not by waypoint number order. 7) Press . The reverse video on the waypoint on route planning screen disappears. 8) Press or to select waypoint number. 9) Press the NU/CU ENT key. Selected waypoint number appears on the route editing screen. The distance and time-to-go indications to the first waypoint entered are blank. 10) To enter other route waypoints, repeat steps 8 and 9.
4. NAVIGATION PLANNING 4.7 Deleting Routes 1) Press WPT RTE and 6 to display the route list. 2) Press or to select route to delete. 3) Press the CLEAR key.

STARTING FOR DESTINATION Setting destination by MOB position or event position Setting destination through waypoint list Note: This operation cannot be performed when there is no MOB position or event position. The buzzer sounds and the message shown in Figure 5-8 appears to alert you when there is no MOB position or event position. Note: A waypoint must exist to set it as destination. When a waypoint does not exist, the buzzer sounds and the message shown in Figure 5-10 appears.
5. STARTING FOR DESTINATION 1 Setting destination by waypoint no. 3) Enter waypoint number, in three digits. You can clear entry by pressing the CLEAR key. 4) Press the NU/CU ENT key.

5. STARTING FOR DESTINATION Skipping route waypoints You may skip route waypoints by displaying "DI" (DIsable) next to the route waypoint in the route list. Using Figure 5-14 as an example, your ship is currently heading toward waypoint 04 but is to switch course and head to waypoint 03. In this case you would want to skip waypoint 04. Port A Waypoint 01 Waypoint 02 Waypoint 03 Waypoint 04 New course Waypoint 05 Port B Waypoint 06 2) Press or to select route waypoint to skip.
5. STARTING FOR DESTINATION 5.3 Erasing Route Waypoints (flags) 1) Place the cursor on the flag to erase. 2) Press the CLEAR key.

When flags are erased When the origin waypoint is erased the waypoint before it becomes the origin waypoint.
5. STARTING FOR DESTINATION 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.
5. STARTING FOR DESTINATION 4) Press to shift the cursor to the Trial Speed line. 5) Press or to select AUTO or MAN. Auto uses ship's average speed to calculate time-to-go. 6) If you selected MAN, enter speed. 7) Press the NU/CU ENT key. The range, bearing and time-to-go between two points appear on the display. If data entered is wrong or insufficient the buzzer sounds and the message "Incomplete Data" appears. If the data contains error, and all nines appear as the calculation results.

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.

WHAT IS WAAS? WAAS, available in North America is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) navigation system. CBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. There are three more SBAS providers, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan, EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe and GAGAN (GPS And GEO Augmented Navigation) for India.
