NEW FURUNO GP37 DGPS/WAAS NAVIGATOR OFFERS GREATER
ACCURACY, DEPENDABILITY
Once again Furuno raises the bar for GPS navigation with the
introduction of the new GP37 DGPS/WAAS receiver. Replacing the GP36, the
GP37 combines a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver with WAAS technology and
proven Differential GPS correction for the ultimate in marine GPS accuracy.
Designed for coastal ships, fishing boats and pleasure craft, the GP37
includes many of the same features that made its predecessor so powerful. It
provides an incredibly accurate position fix of 1-3 meters while taking up a
minimum amount of space. The GP37's highly sensitive combined GPS/H-Field
DGPS “Loop” antenna is protected by a compact, waterproof housing built to
withstand the harshest of marine environments and requires no external ground
connection. Its display features include an impressive memory capability of 999
waypoints, 50 routes and 1,000 points for ships track. Simple, one-touch
waypoint entry and customizable data displays allow for unrivaled ease of use
in perhaps the most powerful GPS navigator in its class.
The GP37 offers a unique automatic “Best Fix” mode where DGPS,
WAAS, and regular GPS is utilized depending on signal availability. As the
WAAS system is still currently under development, there is no guarantee of
accuracy, integrity, continuity or availability of the WAAS signal. For that reason,
the GP37 operates with DGPS as the default setting in the auto “Best Fix”
selection mode. In this mode, if the DGPS signal cannot be received for any
reason, the WAAS mode is automatically selected. Manual selection for WAAS
or DGPS corrections is also possible.
The GP37's new 4.5" Ultra-High Contrast Silver Bright display is
designed to be easily viewed in shade as well as direct sunlight. Six display
modes
presented in both graphical and alphanumeric form include Plotter, Steering,
