Furuno GP170 GPS/DGPS

FURUNO GP-170 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, ECDIS, 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.

Integration by Furuno offers benefits:

• Fully meets new IMO Resolution MSC.112(73) and IEC 61108-1 Ed.2 for SOLAS carriage requirements on and after 1 July 2003
• Ideal sensor of SOG and COG for AIS, radars, and other navigational aids
• Augmentation to enhance accuracy by standard fitted WAAS and optional DGPS
• Display modes: VideoPlotter, 3-D Highway, Text, Steering
• 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
