FURUNO GP150 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, VideoPlotter, 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 GPS signals.

The Furuno GP150 consists of an antenna and display unit. The display unit is a 6" silver bright LCD, offering optimum viewing around the clock. In order to improve position accuracy, WAAS and GPS* augmentation systems are available. Dual configuration, with a second system, provides a backup and/ or remote operation to ensure system availability.

Display mode on the Furuno GP150 GPS 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. Steering modeVideoPlotter mode
