Furuno’s GP170D is a highly stable and reliable GPS/Differential position fixing
system for ocean going ships, large yachts, ferries and commercial vessels. It
is an ideal position sensor for Radar, AIS, ECDIS, Autopilot, Echo Sounder and
other navigation and communications equipment. Its newly designed GPS chip and
antenna deliver enhanced stability and precision in position fixing. Noise
rejection capabilities are incorporated in the new receiver, delivering
anti-jamming function as well as a high level of tolerance towards multi-path
mitigation. Tolerance towards multi-path mitigation is further enhanced when the
GPA020S or GPA021S antenna unit is utilized.
A variety of display modes are available including Plotter, Course, Highway,
Data and Integrity. The Integrity display mode delivers a highly accurate
Skyplot presentation of currently viewable satellites, status on GNSS/SBAS
signal reception including strength and SNR, and elevation angles of available
satellites, as well as detailed information about available beacon stations.
The GP170D boasts the following features:
- Differential GPS utlizes terrestrial station signals to enhance
Satellite-based positioning
- Augmentation to enhance precision by utilizing SBAS and DGPS
- Full compliance with IMO MSC. 114 (73) and IEC 61108-4
- 10 Hz (0.1 second) position update rate making steady own ship tracking
possible
- Front panel USB port for export/import of routing data, menu settings and
user settings
- BAM (Bridge Alert Management) ready
- LAN interface for efficient network integration into bridge system (IEC
61162-450)
- Simplified menu operation
- Enhanced route planning/management function
