GPS Steering

GPS

The GPS steering functions are not guaranteed to work with all GPS systems. Each manufacturer of GPS equipment

puts his own spin on how to assemble the data on the NMEA data bus. Sometimes the data on the bus will not

conform to the needs of the autopilot. The autopilot expects to see, at least, the NMEA data sentences $GPRMB

and $GPRMC at 4800 baud. These sentences are the minimum recommended data to be transmitted when there is

an active waypoint. Some GPS systems do not conform to this NMEA specification.

Almost all GPS systems truncate the cross track error data to 0.01 NM resolution, this means that the autopilot

cannot be expected to stay on track any closer than 60 to 120 feet. There is a large discrepancy between

manufacturers in how they warn the user when the navigation fix is compromised. Some systems alert the NMEA

bus listener immediately upon position fix loss but wait 30 seconds to a minute to warn the operator on the GPS

display. This is disconcerting to the user because his autopilot drops out (The autopilot stops using the GPS

steering command immediately upon receiving a warning from the navigator.) of GPS steering and there is often

no indication on the GPS display that anything is wrong with the GPS. Some manufactures wait 30 seconds to

alert the user via the display and the devices on the NMEA'S data bus when the position fix is broken. The worst

performance in all the GPS units we have tested occurs when a satellite is occluded by the horizon; we have seen

steering errors on the order of several hundred feet in these situations.

The autopilot cannot fix steering errors that are GPS generated. Keep an eye on where you are going when you couple

the GPS to the autopilot.

When the autopilot is taking steering commands from the GPS, the GPS (Select Load) LED will be lit solid. If the

autopilot detects a GPS problem it will blink this LED. Press any button to extinguish the blinking LED.

Set North

To run a GPS course requires that the autopilot compass is in agreement with the GPS's course estimate. You need to set

North with the pilot in standby mode. Do not set North except in calm sea's and un-accelerated conditions. You should

be running at a reasonably high speed, it won't hurt to be running on plane with your main engine. With your GPS

turned on and setup code 48 selected, press and hold the GPS (Select Load) button.

If the Up Arrow LED illuminates, this means that your GPS connection is not sending course information to the

autopilot correctly. You must point your boat north and then press and release the Deckmount switch to set compass

north.

If the Up Arrow LED does not illuminate, press and release the Deckmount switch to set compass north. In this case

you do not need to be pointing north-you only need to be going in a straight line.

Your pilot will power down after north has been set.

Course Overground Hold

If you press and release the GPS (Select Load) button when the autopilot is in heading hold and the GPS does not have

an active route, the pilot will maintain the GPS course over ground instead of the magnetic heading. Be aware that the

course over ground calculated by the GPS is erratic at low speeds.

All the special function and turn buttons will continue to behave as if you are in normal heading hold. If you use any of

the normal turning buttons, go to waypoint and course over ground hold are terminated.
