SAFETY NOTICES  
WARNING: NAVIGATION AID  
This device is intended to be used as an aid to navigation. Its  
accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment  
failure or defects, environmental conditions and incorrect  
handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common  
prudence and navigational judgement. This device should not be  
relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.  
CAUTION:  
Do not connect/disconnect the GPS Antenna from the display  
unit whilst power is applied. Such action could cause irreparable  
damage.  
WAAS Satellite Differential GPS  
WAASprovidesdifferentialaugmentationtoGPS. Itwasdesignedto  
enhance the basic GPS service to satisfy the aviation industry’s  
navigation requirement for instrument flight rule navigation and  
landing, IFR and approach landings. WAAS has been in near  
continuous broadcast since December 1999 and is also available for  
other GPS applications such as marine navigation, surveying,  
agriculture and automotive systems.  
WAAS consists of a network of ground reference stations across the  
United States that monitor GPS satellite data. The master stations  
collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction  
message, taking into account selective availability (SA), GPS  
satellite orbit and clock drift, and signal delays caused by the  
atmosphere and ionosphere. The ‘corrected’ differential messages  
are then broadcast through two Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO)  
satellites on the same frequency as the GPS signal. The Raymarine  
Raynav 300 and 301GPS receiver utilizes one of its 12 channels to  
‘listen’ and decode the corrected WAAS messages. The result is a  
DGPS system that provides improved accuracy (<3 meters) in  
comparison with standard GPS (100 meters with SA, 15 m without  
SA) and land based DGPS (10 meters) systems.  
The WAAS system is shown diagrammatically in Figure i.

Availability of the WAAS System in North America  
The WAAS system is presently broadcasting and being tested for  
aviation use. It is expected to be certified by the FAA in 2002. During  
this testing and certification period, continuous service is expected;  
however, briefsignaloutagesmayoccurasrefinementsandupgrades  
are made to the system. The status of WAAS and planned outages are  
available on-line at the following websites:  
http://wwws.raytheontands.com/waas  
or http://www.raymarine.com  
Your unit is shipped from the factory in normal GPS mode. For  
improved accuracy provided by the WAAS system, you need to  
enable the WAAS capability of your unit.  
To enable WAAS:  
1. Press the MENU key  
2. Press GPS SETUP soft key  
3. Press FIX MODE soft key to select SD mode.  
Extended Offshore Coverage  
Using two GEO satellites, WAAS provides augmented differential  
GPS coverage for most of North America. Since the WAAS  
differential messages are broadcast by GEO satellites, the WAAS  
signals cover a greater area both inland and offshore in comparison  
with land based DGPS systems. Coverage for North America is  
shown in Figure ii.

Those modes containing more than one page of data provide additional  
soft keys giving access to the sub-sets of data within each group, each  
cycled through with the associated soft key.  
1.3 The Plotter Display  
When a position fix has been established, your vessels position, if on  
screen, is shown as a boat shape, pointing in the direction of the current  
heading (or COG if heading data is not available). If no heading or COG  
data is available, the vessel is shown as a circle.  
A status bar at the top of the screen displays the scale, with either cursor  
position, range and bearing or, when the cursor is homed (locked) to the  
vessel (by pressing FIND SHIP), vessel position, Speed Over Ground  
(SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG).  
Note: When the cursor is homed, it is ‘locked’ to the vessel and moves  
with it. The screen is automatically panned to keep the vessel and cursor  
in such a position that they are 10% from the edge of the window with the  
heading vector (be it shown ornot) passing through the center of the win-  
dow.  
The current route is shown and any waypoints you have placed are  
displayed (unless you set them to off in Set Up). Information can be  
viewed on-screen by positioning the cursor over a waypoint, current  
route or track.  
Functions are available to control the display as follows:  
Zoom in/out  
Pan the Display  
Centre the Chart on the Vessel

Select an area of the screen to zoom into.  
Pan the display.  
Moving the Cursor  
Press the corresponding edge of the trackpad to move the cursor  
horizontally, vertically or diagonally; the longer you press, the faster the  
cursor moves. The current cursor position is shown in the Status Bar at  
the top of the display.  
Note: When certain menus and soft keys are displayed, the cursor is not  
active. If you find that you cannot move the cursor, it may be because the  
unit is in one of these modes. Press CLEAR (repeatedly) until the default  
soft keys are displayed; the cursor should then respond.  
Context-Sensitive Cursor Control  
The cursor is context-sensitive. Some items on the screen, such as  
waypoints and chart objects have information associated with them.  
When you place the cursor over such objects, the information is  
displayed in a pop-up box. In addition, soft keys are displayed for certain  
items. For example, when you place the cursor over a waypoint, the

Chapter 2: Getting Started  
2.1 Introduction  
This chapter provides information, instructions and a simple  
familiarization exercise in using the display. Operating information is  
detailed in Chapter 3.  
Conventions Used  
Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in  
bold capitals; for example, ENTER. The soft key functions, menu names  
and options are shown in normal capitals; for example, SCREEN.  
Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a  
sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by a symbol in the margin.  
Simulator  
The plotter display unit includes a Simulator mode, which allows you to  
practice operating your plotter without data from a GPS antenna. You  
will need to use the set up options to switch the display unit to Simulator  
mode, see Section 2.2, Power On/Off. You can use it in either of two  
ways:  
Before the plotter has been installed on your vessel. In this case, you  
only need to connect the plotter display unit to a 12V DC power sup-  
ply, fused at 1A, connecting the red core from the power lead to posi-  
tive (+) and the black core to negative (-); see Cable Running on page  
5-11 for full details.  
After the plotter has been installed on your vessel, but while in the  
marina or at anchor.  
2.2 Power On/Off  
To turn the display unit on, press the POWER key.  
The keys light up and the introductory logo is displayed.  
The GPS Status screen is displayed as shown in Figure 2-1.

Raynav 300 GPS Plotter  
2.4 Plotter Display Control Functions  
You will normally operate the GPS Plotter with the display showing one  
of the Navigation Data pages.  
The range of pages is listed in Selecting the Display Mode on page 2-4  
and illustrated in Figure 2-5. The complete range of pages is described  
fully in Data Display Pages on page 3-2.  
Moving Around the Plotter Screen  
When using theplotter screen, the default orientationisNorth-Up, where  
the vessel moves across the screen. You will need to pan the display if  
your vessel moves out of the current area, or if you wish to examine or  
place waypoints in another area. Alternatively, you can home the cursor  
onto the vessel using FIND SHIP.  
There are four ways in which you can move around the display:  
Use the trackpad to pan the display.  
Automatically home (re-center) the vessel using the FIND SHIP soft  
key.  
Use the context-sensitive cursor to change the display center.  
Change the display scale tozoom out andintoa new area centeredon  
the cursorposition. Thismethod isuseful ifthe area youwishto see is  
a long distance away.  
Panning the Display  
Panning the display is useful if the area you wish to see isonly just off the  
screen.  
Usethe trackpadtomovethe cursor tothe edgeofthedisplay; thedisplay  
will pan across.  
Using FIND SHIP  
FIND SHIP is used to center the vessel on the screen, even if it is currently  
off screen:  
Press the FIND SHIP soft key; the following actions occur:  
The display is re-drawn with the vessels position in the center.  
The cursor is homed (locked) to the vessels position and moves with  
it.  
When the vessel moves near the edge of the screen, the display is  
redrawn to place the vessel and cursor at the center.  
Whilst homed, the status bar indicates vessel position, speed and  
course over ground.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
             
Chapter 2: Getting Started  
To release the cursor from homed mode, use the trackpad to move the  
2-7  
cursor away from the vessels current position. The status bar shows the  
current cursor position, bearing and range. The cursor no longer moves  
with the vessel and no redraw occurs if the vessel moves off screen.  
Changing the Display Center  
You can move the area of the display center using the context-sensitive  
cursor. Thisallowsyoutocenteryourvesselinthecenterofthe screen, or  
to move the display so that your vessel is displayed off-center anywhere  
on the screen.  
To move your vessels position off-center:  
1. Move the cursor over your vessels position until the letters POS are  
displayed.  
2. Press ENTER to take control of the vessels position. The letters POS  
are now in inverse video and the cursor symbol has changed to a  
four-wayarrow. Thisindicatesthatthecursorcanbeusedtomovethe  
display in any direction.  
3. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the required position.  
4. Press ENTER to select the position and return to normal cursor con-  
trol. The display is redrawn with the vessels position at the cursor.  
Alternatively, you can press CLEAR to abandon the move and leave  
the display (and vessel) in its former position.  
To center the display:  
1. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the vessels position. The cur-  
sor text POS is displayed.  
2. Press CLEAR. The display pans to show your vessels position is in  
the center of the screen.  
Changing the Display Scale  
The RANGE key allows you to change the display scale so that you can  
see a smaller or larger area on the screen.  
You can change the display scale:  
To see either a larger scale (of a smaller area) or a larger area (at a  
smaller scale) on the screen.  
To move the display to another area, by zooming out to a smaller  
scale, then zooming in on another position centered on the cursor.  
EachtimeyoupresstheRANGEkey,thedisplayscalechangestothenext  
available setting. The status bar, shown in Figure 2-6, indicates the  
distance from top to bottom of the screen, in nautical miles.

particular area, use the trackpad to pantothat area, then switchsimulator  
ON.  
A data box indicating SIMULATOR ON is displayed in the center of the  
screen(thismayobscurethecursor;ifnecessaryusethetrackpadtomove  
the cursor into view). You can use the context-sensitive cursor to move  
this box  
Note: If you use FIND SHIP when in Simulator mode, the Status Bar at the  
top of the screen shows SIM FIX. If real position data is available (via  
GPS) and the simulator is active, simulated data takes precedence.  
On power-up the simulator defaults to its previous setting at last pow-  
er-down. Care should be takento determine desired mode onpower-up.  
Simulated data should never be used for navigational purposes.  
Anywaypoints placedonthe plotter insimulatormodeare retainedinthe  
Waypoint List and are available for use in routes.

Chapter 3: Operation  
3.1 Introduction  
This chapter explains how to navigate with the Raynav 300 GPS Plotter.  
It covers the following topics:  
Controlling waypoints, including placing, moving, editing and delet-  
ing waypoints.  
Changing the display mode.  
Using a range of data pages to display navigation data.  
Maintaining a Data Log of Time, Position, Course Made Good  
(CMG) and Distance Made Good (DMG).  
Working with waypoints and routes, including creating a new route,  
managing routes using the Route List and editing routes.  
Following routes and going to waypoints.  
Transferring waypoints and routes  
Using tracks, including showing tracks, track set up, saving tracks  
and converting a track to a route (SmartRoute).  
Using the Man Overboard (MOB) feature.  
Setting up Alarms and Timers.  
Cursor echo from other equipment.  
CAUTION:  
The GPS Plotter makes it easy to place a waypoint and travel  
towards it. However, you should always check first that the route is  
safe. When using the GPS Plotter in combination with a SeaTalk  
autopilot, the autopilot will prompt for confirmation before it steers  
the vessel towards the waypoint.  
3.2 Changing the Display Mode  
The DISPLAY key is used to select the desired screen mode. The  
following modes can be selected:  
Default GPS/Waypoint display

The modes that contain more than one page of data provide additional  
soft keys which cycle through the pages. The highlighted soft key  
indicates the screen mode currently displayed.  
Note: Press the DISPLAY key for at least two seconds in any display  
mode to return to the GPS/Waypoint display.  
Data Display Pages  
In all graphical display pages, the steering instruction is STEER  
STARBOARD ifthe XTE is 0.01nm ormore to port, STEER PORT if the XTE  
is 0.01nm or more to starboard or ON COURSE if XTE is less than 0.01 on  
either side.  
If no Goto or follow is in progress, the steering instruction is NOT  
FOLLOWING and no steering arrows are shown.  
The arrows either side of the steering instruction and pointing towards it  
are dependent on the XTE. The first arrow is shown when the difference  
reaches 0.01nm and the second at 0.05nm.  
Textual data provides Position, SOG, COG, Bearing and Range to  
waypoint, Time and Date, Time To Go (TTG), Steering Indicator,  
Sunrise, Sunset, Fix StatusandXTE. Any unavailable data is replaced by  
dashes,onepercharacter.WhenthereisnoGPSfixbutthereisavaluefor  
the last fix, this is shown instead.  
The waypoint name is shown unless there is no target, in which case NOT  
FOLLOWING is shown. If Goto cursor is in progress, GOTO CURSOR is  
shown.  
The FIX status indicates D-FIX for a differential fix, SD-FIX for a satellite  
differential fix, FIX for a GPS or other Fix, or NO FIX where a fix has not  
been acquired. If the simulator is ON, the word SIMULATOR appears after  
the fix status.  
BRG, RNG and XTE data relate to the target waypoint.  
Timerefersto localtimezonewhichis setin theSystemSetUpmenu,see  
Chapter 4.  
The Time To Go (TTG) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) data relate  
to the target waypoint (not the whole route) and are based on the Speed  
Over Ground (SOG) towards the target. If the Velocity Made Good  
(VMG) is negative, or data is not available, these fields are replaced by  
dashes, one per character.  
Sunrise and Sunset times are for today and at the vessels position.

3.3 Working with Waypoints  
Introduction  
You can place up to 998 waypoints on the GPS Plotter.  
A waypoint is a position entered on the display as a reference or  
destinationpoint. AllwaypointsplacedontheGPS Plotterarestoredina  
waypoint database list which includes symbol, position, bearing, range  
and additional data. All waypoints in the database are displayed on the  
plotter screen, unless you set waypoint display off in the Set Up menu, as  
described in Plotter Set Up Parameters on page 4-8. You can select a  
waypoint, either graphically or from the Waypoint List, for editing.  
The waypoint can be placed either at the current cursor position or  
entered manually aseither Lat/Long coordinatesor LoranTDs which are  
automatically converted to Lat/Long coordinates. A waypoint placed at  
the vessels position includes additional information (if available)  
providing depth, temperature and time when it was placed. Any type of  
waypoint can be included in a route.  
Note: You can place waypoints before you install the GPS Plotter on  
your vessel.  
When a new waypoint is placed, it uses either the factory default symbol  
(a cross) or an alternative symbol available from the Set Up menu, see  
Plotter Set Up Parameters on page 4-8. The waypoint is added to the  
Waypoint List and tagged with the next available number. The  
waypoints symbol and name can be edited at any time. When the cursor  
is positioned over a waypoint, the waypoint bearing and range are  
displayed in a pop-up box.  
WaypointsinthecurrentrouteareavailableonotherSeaTalkinstruments  
that support current route transfer, for example, an ST80 Masterview.  
You can also transfer waypoints between the GPS Plotter and other  
NMEA or SeaTalk instruments using the Waypoint Transfer functions.

on-screen cursor and the waypoint list:

waypoints) is transferred via SeaTalk to a repeater plotter display and  
other instruments. You can also use the Waypoint Transfer functions to  
transfer the route database to a repeater display, see Transferring  
Waypoints and Routes on page 3-37.  
When you have created a route you can use the GOTO soft keys to follow  
the route. In addition, the GOTO default soft key provides various options  
as described in Section 3.5.  
Up to 20 routes can be saved in the route database. You can then select a  
route fromthedatabaselist asthecurrent route, seeRetrieveaRoutefrom  
the Database on page 3-29.  
The current route can be edited by adding and moving waypoints. The  
current route is always placed at the top of the database list and named  
CURRENT ROUTE, so you can edit the current route without affecting the  
original route in the database. When a route has been saved, options are  
provided to name or erase a route and to display route details.  
Route information can be used to review your passage plan by adjusting  
the planned Speed Over Ground (SOG).  
Note: On an integrated system, it is possible for the current route to be  
overwritten by a route from another unit; it is advisable, therefore, to  
save all routes.  
This section explains how to perform the following tasks:  
Creating a new route.  
Saving the current route in the database list.  
Clearing the current route.  
Retrieving a route from the database list as the current route.  
Displaying route information, including the route leg data and way-  
point details. Use the waypoint details to review your passage plans  
for different speeds.

3.5 Following Routes and Going to Waypoints  
The default GOTO soft key accesses the functions to follow a route and  
Goto a waypoint or cursor. When a target destination is selected, the  
GPS Plotter calculates bearing, distance and cross track error (XTE).  
This information can be shown on screen and is sent on SeaTalk and  
NMEA for use by an Autopilot or display on a compatible SeaTalk or  
NMEA repeater. You can also restart the XTE from the vessels position  
and set XTE to zero at that point.  
When the GPS Plotter is following a route, the target destination is  
indicated by a square around the waypoint and a dotted line shows the

its centre and is connected to the vessels starting position with a  
dashed line.  
The STOP GOTO soft key is displayed.  
Note: The temporary waypoint is not added to the Waypoint List. When  
the GOTO is complete or is stopped, the temporary waypoint remains on  
the plotter screen until eitheranother Goto or Follow is started orit is re-  
moved.  
3. To return to the default soft key display, move the cursor away from  
the waypoint or press CLEAR.  
Follow a Route  
Note: The current route may have been created on this display unit, or  
created on another unit and received on this display via SeaTalk. If a  
route has been reversed, or if a route on screen was being followed but  
stopped before completion, the target waypoint, outlined by a square  
box, may be different to that when the route was created. Always check  
the target waypoint before initiating a Follow Route action.  
To follow the current route:  
1. Press the GOTO default soft key to display the Goto/Follow soft keys

updated to show the new route leg.  
Note: You can advance past the end of a route back to the start.  
Restart Cross Track Error (XTE)  
Whilst following a route or going to a target point, you can restart the  
XTE. This sets the XTE to zero and moves the origin to the actual vessel  
position.  
Restarting XTE is useful if you find the vessel off track and prefer to go

Target Point Arrival  
You canset up target alarms (see Alarms & Timers on page 3-45) to alert  
you when the vessel is approaching the target point. The arrival alarm is  
defined as an invisible circle, with a specified radius, around the target.  
The alarm is triggered when either of the following conditions is met:

Chapter 3: Operation  
3-37  
The distance to the target point is less than that specified for the  
Arrival alarm.  
Your vessel reaches the closest point of approach to the target  
(defined by an imaginary circle around the waypoint).  
To cancel the Arrival alarm and go towards the next waypoint in the  
route, either:  
Press any key  
or...  
Wait for 10 seconds.  
If another leg exists, the target becomes the origin, the next waypoint  
becomes the target point and the two are connected by a dotted line  
indicating the current leg. This does not occur for a single point Goto.  
Any previous route leg is removed from the screen, but waypoints  
remain.  
Note: When following a route using a SeaTalk autopilot, the autopilot  
will not turn to the new waypoint until it is accepted at the autopilot con-  
trol unit.  
3.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes  
Displayed SeaTalk Waypoints  
In an integrated system, when a route is made current on any SeaTalk  
equipment it is sent to all other SeaTalk equipment. This route will  
override any other current route. WhenGOTO waypoint or GOTO cursor is  
in operation it is considered a route.  
The current route can be edited on any equipment with route edit  
capability.  
Note: Waypoints transferred as part of a route are not automatically  
savedbythe unit;howeveryoucansavetheroute locally, thusaddingthe  
waypoints to the local Waypoint List.  
Transferring Database Lists  
Database lists can be transferred between units by various means. The  
method you choose will depend on the links available (SeaTalk or  
NMEA) and whether you want to transfer individual waypoints or the  
complete Waypoint and Route List:  
Youcanreceivewaypointsthataretransmittedbyotherequipmenton  
SeaTalk or NMEA.

3-38  
Raynav 300 GPS Plotter  
When this option is selected, any waypoints received on SeaTalk or  
NMEA are transferred and appended, one-by-one, to the Waypoint  
List. Routes received on NMEA are appended to the Route List.You  
can use this function to add waypoints from a PC connected via  
NMEA.  
You can send the Waypoint and Route Lists from the display unit to  
other instruments via NMEA using the SEND WPT LIST function.  
Sending the Waypoint List does not affect current routes. The  
NMEA link could be to a PC.  
Receiving Waypoints from Other Equipment  
To receive incoming waypoints on SeaTalk or NMEA:  
1. Display the Waypoint List by pressing MARK followed by the WAY-  
POINT LIST soft key.  
Press the WAYPOINT TRANSFER soft key.  
2. Press the soft key RECEIVE WPTS FROM ST/NMEA; the soft key  
changes to STOP RECEIVING WAYPOINTS.  
When waypoints are transmitted by other equipment they are added  
to the Waypoint List on the display unit. Routes transmitted on  
NMEA are appended to the Route List.  
3. Todisablewaypoint transfer, pressthe softkeySTOP RECEIVING WAY-  
POINTS.  
Alternatively, press CLEAR twice to close the Waypoint List.  
Note: Where multiple waypoints have the same position, the last way-  
point sent is the only one included in the Waypoint List.  
Sending Waypoints to Other Equipment  
To send the Waypoint List on NMEA:  
1. Display the Waypoint List as previously described, then press the  
WAYPOINT TRANSFER soft key.  
2. Press the SEND WPT LIST ON NMEA soft key; the soft key changes to  
STOP SENDING WAYPOINTS.  
The Waypoint and Route Lists are transmitted from the display unit  
to other equipment on NMEA.  
3.7 Using Tracks  
The Track function is used to mark, on-screen, the trail that your vessel  
has followed, as though it had left a visible fixed wake.

retained following a POWER OFF/ON. You specify the interval at which  
trackpointsare createdand alineisdrawnon-screenbetweeneachpoint.  
The current track remains on-screen until you clear the track.  
Breaks in the track will be caused when any of the following occur for  
longer than the specified interval: the track is switched off then on; the  
GPS fix is lost; the plotter is switched off.  
Using the SmartRoute function, a track (or the last segment of a track  
with breaks) can be converted to and saved as a route which is  
automatically reversed, ready for use as your return voyage, see  
SmartRoute on page 3-41.  
A total of 4500 track points can be saved, in up to five track files (each  
containing a maximum of 750 points).  
TheCurrentTrackcanbesaved,namedandretrievedfordisplayatalater  
date. For example, you may wish to display a previous track and place  
waypoints along it that you can follow. You can only display one track at  
a time; you must clear a current track from the screen if you want to  
display a saved track.  
This section describes how to:  
Set up a track and specify the Track Point interval.  
Clear the Current Track.  
Manage tracks using the Track List, including Saving, Naming, Eras-  
ing and Showing a track.  
Convert the current track to a route.  
Setting Up a Track  
The track soft keys are used to switch the Track on and to specify the  
interval at which track points are placed. The time interval between track  
points can be set to 1s, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1min, 3min, 5min, 10min or  
30minutes. The distance spacing between track points can be set to  
0.1nm, 0.5nm or 1.0nm. The maximum track length is 750 points per  
track. When this limit is reached, track points continue to be placed, but  
the oldest points start to be overwritten. Track points continue to be  
placed until TRACK OFF is selected. When the unit is powered off, the  
current track (thus far) is retained in memory.  
Setting a short time interval between track points is best suited to  
navigation within a close or complex environment, eg. an estuary or  
marina whereas, in contrast, a greater distance interval is best suited to a  
long haul voyage.

Chapter 4: Setting Up the GPS Plotter  
4.1 Introduction  
When you have installed your system and are familiar with its basic  
operation, you may wish to set it up to operate according to your  
requirements and display information according to your preferences.  
This is achieved using the Set Up controls which are displayed when you  
press the MENU key. These settings can be changed at any time.  
When you have set your preferences, they are retained until you reset  
them; they are retained even when the unit is powered off.  
This chapter provides instructions for displaying and changing the  
factory default values to your preferences.  
The set up parameters are divided into four sections:  
System, controlling overall functionality.  
Plotter, controlling the plotting functions, including waypoint infor-  
mation and vectors.  
GPS, displaying the GPS Navigation Status, selecting the GPS Fix  
Mode or setting up a Differential GPS (DGPS).  
The following sections list the parameters, their possible settings and  
describe the function of each parameter in turn.

This is the mode (magnetic or true) of all the bearing and heading data  
displayed as indicated in the status bar.  
Cursor Reference  
The mode of the bearing data displayed for the cursor readout. The  
bearing information can be displayed in either of two forms:  
Relative: The bearing relative to your vessels heading.  
Mag/True: The actual bearing in either degrees magnetic or degrees  
true. This option is only available if you have heading data from a  
compass.

performed for 10 seconds.  
Key Beep  
This option controls whether or not the keys sound when pressed.  
Note: The alarms continue to sound.  
MOB Data  
This option controls whether MOB data is based on GPS data, or on dead  
reckoning (DR). Dead reckoning normally provides a better indication of  
the course to an object in the water, on the assumption that your vessel  
and the object are both subject to the same tide and wind effects.  
Menu Timeout Period  
With no time-out set, menus and soft key labels remain displayed until  
you clear them by pressing ENTER, CLEAR or the appropriate dedicated  
key.  
Units  
You can set the units for speed, depth and temperature. The units set will  
be used to display all data, including information received from other  
instruments on the system. However, the distance units do not affect the  
instrumented range of the display, which is always in nautical miles.  
Variation Source  
The variation value is the difference between True and Magnetic  
direction data forheading orbearing values. The Variation Source option  
provides soft keys for selecting Auto or Manual variation mode, displays  
the current variation value for each and highlights the currently selected  
mode.

Raynav 300 GPS Plotter  
Auto Mode  
If Auto mode is selected, the value of variation is obtained automatically,  
normally from received data. The variation value that is used depends on  
the data available, and is selected in the following order of priority:  
1. Variation value from the same source as the heading data:  
If heading data is being taken from NMEA, then variation is also  
taken from NMEA.  
If heading is taken from SeaTalk, then SeaTalk variation is used.  
2. Variation value from a different source:  
If heading data is being taken from NMEA, but no NMEA variation  
is available, then variation is taken from SeaTalk.  
If heading is taken from SeaTalk, but no SeaTalk variation is avail-  
able, then variation is taken from NMEA.  
3. A calculated variation value, using position data, if no SeaTalk or  
NMEA value is available.  
4. The current manual variation value, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value  
and no position data is available.  
Manual Mode  
IfMANUAL mode is selected, bypressingeither of the MANUAL soft keys,  
the local variation value can be specified according to the area in which  
you are operating. Press the appropriate MANUAL soft key to adjust the  
variation up or down, to a maximum of 30° East or West.  
This value is then transmitted to any other SeaTalk instruments on your  
system. It is retained if you turn the display off and on again.  
In Manual mode, incoming NMEA variation is ignored. However, if the  
variation is changed on another SeaTalk instrument, the new value is  
used and the manual value that is displayed is updated.  
Note: The Manual variation value defaults to 0°, so it is important to set  
up a value if variation is not available from an external source.  
NMEA OUT Set Up  
Each NMEA sentence can be set to either OFF or ON individually. The  
factory default is ON for each sentence.  
Cursor Echo  
You can set up your system so that radars, plotters and chartplotters  
connected via SeaTalk can display each others cursors.

Chapter 4: Setting Up the GPS Plotter  
4-7  
Press the CURSOR ECHO soft key to display the cursor transfer soft keys.  
The following options can be toggled ON or OFF:  
Radar Cursor In: displays the cursor from another radar on the plot-  
ter display or chart window (default - OFF).  
Chart Cursor In: displays the cursor from another plotter or chart-  
plotter (default - OFF).  
SeaTalk Cursor Out: enables the output, onto SeaTalk, of the dis-  
plays own cursor (default - OFF).  
Note: The remote display must have SeaTalk Cursor Out enabled.  
If you set the options to OFF, no cursor echo information is displayed.  
Date and Time Settings  
Set your preferred date format (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY) and time  
format (12 or 24 hour). If you wish to display local time, use the soft keys  
to change from UTC to the required time offset. This can be up to 13  
hours, in hourly steps.  
GPS Source  
The Raynav 305 GPS Plotter includes a built-in GPS receiver. However,  
it is possible to use GPS data from another GPS receiver connected via  
SeaTalk or NMEA.  
This option allows you to specifiy the source of the GPS data.  
Select MASTER to use the built-in GPS receiver, or REPEATER to use  
external GPS data. The factory default is MASTER.  
GPS SOG/COG Filter  
Select the SOG/COG filter setting as required. This can be set to HIGH,  
MEDIUM or LOW. The factory default is MEDIUM.  
The velocity vectors calculated from the GPS Signal give an  
instantaneous measure of speed and direction of the GPS antenna. The  
COG and SOG can therefore seem erratic under certain conditions. For  
example,whenavesselismovingslowlythroughroughseas,theantenna  
moves from side to side as well as in the direction of the vessel.  
The SOG/COG filter averages the velocity vectors to compensate for the  
oscillatingmotion of the vessel, giving aclearer indicationofthevessels  
course and speed.  
Slow moving vessels, or vessels sailing in rough seas will benefit from a  
high setting, whereas a power boat that can quickly change speed and  
direction will benefit from a low setting.  
The filter does not affect the calculation of the GPS position.

NMEA Input  
Select the NMEA input setting as appropriate. This can be set to either  
NMEA or RTCM. RTCM input is 4800 baud only.  
Language  
Select the language in which you wish information to be displayed. The  
selected language will be used for screen text, labels, menus and options,  
but will not affect the letters displayed by the context-sensitive cursor.  
The language setting also affects the display format for lat/long position  
information.  
Simulator  
The simulator allows you to operate your Plotter without data from the  
antenna and/or external data sources. When the simulator is switched on,  
a SIMULATOR data box is displayed during operation, showing that  
simulation has been selected.  
4.4 Plotter Set Up Parameters  
The PLOTTER SET UP option allows you to set up the Plotter according to  
your system configuration and your personal preferences.  
The following table lists the Plotter Set up parameters and their options,

Chart Orientation  
The plotter orientation is normally North Up, but can be changed to  
Course Up or Head Up if heading data is available. The orientation  
modes give the following displays:  
North Up: The screen is displayed with north upwards. As you  
change heading, the ships heading marker moves. This is the default  
mode and is the only mode available if there is no heading data.  
Course Up: The plotter is stabilized and displayed with the currently  
selected course upwards. If you select a new course, the picture  
rotates to display the new course upwards.  
The reference used for the Course Up depends on the information  
available. The first available in the following is used:  
A locked heading over a SeaTalk connection  
The heading at the time Course Up was selected  
To update the Course Up reference whilst Course Up is the current  
mode, re-select Course Up from the set up menu.  
Head Up: The display shows the vessels current heading upwards.  
As the heading changes the image will rotate.  
Waypoint Symbols  
This setting controls whether or not the waypoints are shown on the  
display, with their appropriate symbols. The active waypoint, and  
waypoints in the current route, are always shown.  
Waypoint Numbers  
This setting controls whether or not the waypoint numbers are shown for  
any waypoints in the current route.

Note: When the datum (reference grid) is changed, the geographical  
position of waypoints remains constant. However, the latitude/longitude  
values change asa result of their having been calculated from a different  
datum. When adding waypoints numerically to the waypoint list, or via  
SeaTalk, NMEA, it is important that they are referenced to the same da-  
tum in which the display is to be operated.  
4.5 GPS Set Up  
The GPS set up page provides information for the status of the tracked

The GPS Navigation Status screen provides, for each tracked satellite,  
the satellite number, a graphical signal strength bar and its current usage  
status. Data for up to 12 satellites are shown.  
Positional accuracy is dependent upon certain parameters; in particular  
for GPS, the azimuth and elevation angles are used in a triangulation  
process to calculate position. HDOP (Horizontal Dilution Of Position) is  
a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure signifies greater error. In ideal  
circumstances, the figure should be in the region of 1.0. The Fix Status  
can indicate:  
FIX, where a satellite fix has been acquired.  
D-FIX, where a differential beacon fix has been acquired.  
SD-FIX, where a satellite differential fix has been acquired.  
NO FIX, where no fix can be acquired.

Chapter 5: Installation  
5.1 Introduction  
This chapter provides instructions to assist in planning the installation of  
the Raynav 300 GPS Plotter aboard your vessel.  
Note: If you wish to practice using the Raynav 300 GPS Plotter before  
installation, you can connect it, via a 1A quick blow fuse, to a 12VDC  
power supply and operate it using the simulator mode, as described in  
Chapter 2: Getting Started.  
EMC Installation Guidelines  
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best  
industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.  
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate  
ElectromagneticCompatibility(EMC)standards,butcorrectinstallation  
is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although  
every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all  
conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the  
operation of the product.  
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC  
performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of  
these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions  
for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location,  
always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items  
of electrical equipment.  
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever  
possible:  
Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:  
At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carry-  
ing radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of  
SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).  
More than7 ft(2 m)fromthe path of aradar beam. A radarbeam can  
normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radi-  
ating element.  
The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for  
engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients,  
can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment,  
but may cause the loss of some information and may change the oper-  
ating mode.

Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these  
cablescancompromiseEMCperformanceandmust be avoidedunless  
doing so is detailed in the installation manual.  
If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be  
removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must  
be reassembled in the same position.  
Suppression Ferrites  
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used  
with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by  
Raymarine.

5.3 GPS Antenna Installation  
The GPS Antenna is designed to receive the signals emitted from the  
satellitesina direct path. Ideally, the unitshouldbe mounted horizontally  
in a location that is open and clear of any masts or other structures that  
could block line-of-sight reception of signals.  
The height of the GPS Antenna is not as important as its having a clear  
view horizon to horizon for optimum signal reception. In fact, the lower  
the unit can be mounted and have a clear view to satellites, the better. The  
more stable the unit, the easier it is to track satellites lower to the horizon.  
Note: Do mount the antenna up a mast as this will cause the antenna to  
swing with the vessel, leading to significant errors in COG and SOG  
readings.  
The GPS Antenna can be mounted on a pole. Alternatively, you can use a  
pole mounting bracket or surface mount kit.  
When mounting the GPS Antenna flush to a deck surface avoid areas  
where the unit will be trodden upon or where it may present a tripping  
hazard.  
The GPS Antenna should be separated by at least 3ft (1m) from other  
antennasandelectronicequipment. Itshouldnotbe mounted inthe direct  
path of a Radars antenna beam.  
When planning the location for the unit, consider finding a convenient  
pathwayforrunningtheinterconnectingcablebetweentheGPSAntenna  
and the Plotter or to the rest of an integrated system. Ideally the cable  
shouldberuninamannersuchthatitishiddenfromviewand, ifpossible,  
be in a direct path to the point of connection. It is important to keep the  
cable separated from other cables as far as possible to prevent  
interference pick-up.  
Note: DO NOT cut the cable; an extension cable is available from your  
Raymarine dealer.  
Surface Mounting  
To surface mount the antenna, referring to Figure 5-2:  
1. Select a suitable area which allows access to the underside of the  
mounting surface for fixing and, using the template supplied in this  
handbook, carefully drill the two 6mm (0.25in) fixing holes marked.  
2. If the cable is to pass through the mounting surface drill the 6mm  
(0.25in)or19mm(0.75in)centre hole dependingonwhetherthe plug  
is to pass through the surface or not.  
If the cable is to exit from the side of the GPS Antenna above the

5.4 Plotter Installation  
The display unit can be mounted using the trunnion (yoke) bracket, or  
panel mounted using the optional Panel Mounting Kit.  
When planning the installation of your Raynav 300, the following points  
should be considered:  
Convenience: The unit should be installed in a convenient position  
where it can be viewed straight on or with a viewing angle of less than  
35°. You may wish to apply power, before you install the unit, to deter-  
mine the best viewing angle prior to fixing. The mounting location  
should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front panel con-  
trols.  
Access:There must besufficient space behindthe displayunit toallow  
cable connections to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in  
the cable.  
Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from  
devices that may cause interference, such as motors and generators  
(see the EMC Installation Guidelines earlier in this chapter).  
Cable runs: The unit must be located near a DC power source. The  
power cable supplied is 1.5m, but a longer cable can be used if  
required. Power must be supplied via a 1A quick blow fuse or circuit  
breaker. Refer to Section 5.6, Cable Running.  
Environment: The unit should be protected from physical damage,  
heat sources and excessive vibration. Although the unit is waterproof,  
it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged  
and direct exposure to rain and/or salt spray. Refit the Sun Cover when  
not in use to avoid damage to the LCD screen.  
The dimensions of the unit, including the bracket, are shown in  
Figure 5-4.

5.6 Cable Running  
Introduction  
The minimum requirements are a power cable and a connection from the  
associated GPS Antenna. Additional cables will be required if you are  
connecting to other equipment.  
Consider the following points before installing the system cables:  
All cables should be adequately cleated and protected from physical  
damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or  
doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.  
Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a  
watertight gland or swan neck tube should be provided.  
If anextension isrequired forthe antenna cable it shouldbe limited to a  
single extension and kept as short as possible to minimise any signal  
loss.  
The antenna cable should not be run close to any VHF antenna feeds.  
Cross coupling between the cables may result in interference of the  
GPS receiver and possible reduction in performance.  
Connectors  
Run the following cables from the connectors provided at the rear of the  
plotter as shown in Figure 5-6:  
ANTENNA, for connection to the associated GPS antenna.  
PWR/NMEA, for DC power and NMEA inputs/outputs.  
SeaTalk, using the dedicated SeaTalk connector.

The ANTENNA connector provides power and RF connection to the  
associated GPS Antenna.  
CAUTION:  
Do not connect/disconnect the GPS Antenna from the display unit  
whilst power is applied. Such action could cause irreparable  
damage.  
Connect the antenna using the attached cable, as follows:  
1. If not already installed, mount the GPS Antenna as described in  
Section 5.3.  
2. Feed the cable through to the rear of the Plotter.  
3. Coil up any unused cable in an appropriate safe space out of view. Do  
not bend the cable tighter than 4in (100mm) radius.  
4. Screw the cable connector fully into its mating connector on the Plot-  
ter.  
5. Ensure that the protective boot covers the connector.  
Note: If the supplied cable is too short, use an extension cable (Part#  
E36011), or consult your Raymarine dealer.

2. Cut the cable to length and connect the red wire, via a fuse, to the +ve  
battery terminal and the black wire to 0V (-ve battery terminal). Pro-  
tect the circuit with a 1A quick blow fuse or circuit breaker.  
3. Use a suitable junction box to connect to NMEA equipment if  
required.  
4. Cut any unused cores short or insulate and tape back.  
Note: Ifthepowerconnectionsare accidentallyreversed, thesystemwill  
not function. Use a voltmeter to check that the input power leads are the  
correct polarity.  
SeaTalk Connector  
The Plotter can be connected to an existing SeaTalk system by  
connecting a SeaTalk cable (available from your Raymarine dealer) into  
the SeaTalk connector on the rear of the Plotter. The data is passed from  
instrument to instrument via the daisy chained cable.  
Note: TheSeaTalkconnectorcannotbeusedtopowerthePlotter.Power  
is not supplied to other SeaTalk equipment.  
5.7 System Check and Initial Switch On  
When you have installed your Plotter and made all the connections, you  
need to check your installation before using the system for navigation. If  
you encounter any problems, refer to Chapter 6: Maintenance & Fault  
Finding.

Chapter 6: Maintenance & Fault Finding  
This chapter provides information on routine maintenance and on  
possible causes of problems you may experience with your Raynav 300  
GPS Plotter.  
6.1 Maintenance  
WARNING:  
The plotter contains specialized circuits only accessible to qualified  
service technicians - there are no user serviceable parts or  
adjustments and the operator should not attempt to service the  
equipment. The operator should not remove the rear cover.  
Routine Checks  
Theplotterisasealedunit. Maintenanceproceduresarethereforelimited  
to the following periodical checks:  
Wipe the display unit clean with a damp cloth.  
Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.  
Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached and that the con-  
nections to the vessels DC power are clean and tight.  
Note: Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the plotter. If  
the unit is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.  
EMC Servicing and Safety Guidelines  
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Rayma-  
rine service technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and  
replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user  
serviceable parts in this Raymarine product.  
Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/con-  
nectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.  
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic  
fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to inter-  
act with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In  
order to minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible  
performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in  
the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interac-  
tion between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Elec-  
tromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

6-2  
Raynav 300 GPS Plotter  
Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine  
dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards.  
In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment  
from being affected by external influences. In general this will not  
damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or  
momentarily may result in faulty operation.  
Disposal  
Whentheunitreaches theendofits operationallife, ensureits displosalis  
carried out in accordance with any local ordinances or requirements.  
This may include specific disposal requirements for the back-up battery  
on the main PCB.  
6.2 Resetting the System  
Two types of reset are available:  
Power-On Reset: When you turn the display unit off, then on again,  
the screen reverts to the default GPS plotter display.  
Factory Reset: This resets all values back to their original factory set-  
tings.  
Note: Take care; Factory Reset clears all Waypoint and Route databas-  
es.  
At power-on, the last-used values are retained for all the options, except  
for those listed in Table 6-1 which are reset to the factory default each  
time.
