- 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, 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.
- In order to improve position accuracy, WAAS and DGPS* augmentation systems are available. Dual configuration, with a second system, provides a backup and/or remote operation to ensure system availability.
*Internal or external beacon receiver is required for utilizing DGPS.
- 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.
- The SOLAS Chapter V as amended in December 2000 prohibits new installation of current GPS receivers which are disigned to meet IMO A.819 on and 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.
