Navigation Services Division Understanding Waypoints
THE OFFICIAL NAME IS NAVISTAR GPS
NAVISTAR GPS NAVIgatonal System using Timing And Ranging Global Positioning System
GPS is a satellite navigation system developed by the. US Dept. of Defense (DOD)
GPS provides continuous, all-weather, threedimensional positioning information (position, speed and time)
GPS is used by aviators, mariners, surveyors, off-roaders, truck operators, bikers, hunters & fisherman
10 -12 meters 5 -10 meters 12 -14 meters
GPS positions are not error free!
CEP = Circular Error Probable SEP = Spherical Error Probable
24 hours 5/2/2000 24 hours 5/1/2000 Without Selective Availability 95 % of the time within 45 meters within 6. 3 meters or 148 Feet or 21 Feet
Datum is a chart coordinate reference system.
A datum is shown on every chart Your GPS receiver must be adjusted to the datum printed on the nautical chart that you are using.
Selecting the correct datum • WGS-84 is the standard, NAD-27 is common. • Becomes more important as local datum become increasingly offset from WGS-84. • Shown on the General Information Blocks of most charts/maps.
Horizontal Datum WGS 1984
GPS Setups • You should have already selected and set up: – A true or magnetic direction, – Nautical miles, – The 24 hour clock
GPS Receiver Display What is it telling you?
Basic GPS Receiver Functions u. Provide details of your GPS system’s status. u. Shows the satellite positions and signal quality.
GPS Satellite Status Fix Status/EPE Three Polar plot shows where Dimensional satellites are located. Battery status Navigation graph Capability Bar graphs give an immediate indication of signal strength
Always validate satellite performance before using your GPS set for navigation.

Basic GPS Receiver Functions • Continuously determines your position. • Displays the time. • Shows a heading and SOG—speed over the ground--on the present leg. • Show a BRG--bearing and a DTG-distance to go—to the next selected waypoint.
Basic GPS Receiver Functions • Shows the distance you are off track XTE - cross-track error. • Shows TTG - time to goto waypoint. Uses SOG. • Estimates the time of arrival-ETA--at waypoint. Uses SOG and DTG.

1. Learn how to input waypoints. 2. Learn how to use waypoints.
A waypoint (WPT or WP ) is a designated location with geographic coordinates.
You need to learn how to: • • • Store present positions. Enter a position. Rename, edit, and copy waypoints. • Create and edit routes. • Delete waypoints and routes.
Entering Waypoints • Enter in name/icon. • Enter LAT/LON. • Enter message (not recommended) • Waypoint number. (Keep it simple) • Menu of waypoint options at bottom. • Bearing and Distance
A simple waypoint entry screen
Verifying your present position as a waypoint • Use a simple numbering system. WPT 4 • Do not place your position on top of the Aid. Risk of collision! • Validate every waypoint before using it as a permanent waypoint in a route. WPT 1 WPT 3 WPT 2
Waypointsare used extensively in GPS navigation: • As boundaries between voyage segments – LEGS. • To mark turning points, destinations and aids to navigation. • To mark hazards to navigation.
• GPS receivers enable waypoints to be entered and stored in various ways. • A sequence of waypoints can define a planned route. • Most GPS receivers store routes as well as waypoints
Waypoints are often used to define route segments – legs. – Insert waypoints at all turn points on your courses. – Establish some voyage waypoints close to (but not at) aids to navigation
Always pre-plot all waypoints on a nautical chart and measure the distance and bearing between waypoints. • Verify that the trip legs are planned in safe water. • Record the data on a Trip Log.
• Waypoints do not have to be located in the water--e. g. , locate a waypoint at a lighthouse to enable you to know where and when to look for it • Waypoints can be used to mark hazards to navigation--areas to avoid as well as areas to visit safely.
• Select waypoints that can be easily verified by other methods--visual fixes, soundings, radar, etc. NEVER rely on one means of navigation.
• It is important to check your chart before establishing. WPTs. • If the course crosses an island, the GPS receiver will direct you to navigate into this hazard. WPT 02 WPT 01
Why create a route? • Routes are lists of sequential waypoints. WP 4 • GPS can automatically advance you to the next waypoint. • Routes can be reversed to retrace your original track. • Routes keep you from wandering into danger and shorten distance traveled WP 1 WP 3 WP 2
WP 4 Editing Routes • GPS receivers should allow you to WPT 3 delete, move, or append waypoints. • In this case: WPT 2 has been deleted. WPT 3 has been moved. WPT 2 WPT 4 has been appended. WPT 3 WPT 2 WPT 1
GOTO Navigation • Used by any boat in open water to navigate to a single waypoint. • Useful functions: – – – Range and Bearing Speed of Approach Turn
, 0 30 NM 2 3. • The distance and direction to a waypoint. • Probably the most useful of all navigation functions. • Know your units: true vs. magnetic, statute vs. nautical ° Range and Bearing
Course To Steer • Course To Steer gets you back to the course line at a 45° intercept to try to keep you out of trouble Desired Course Line S T C ing Bear Third Reef
ROUTE Navigation WPT 2 • Used by boats under power when they have to stay in a channel or follow an exact course line • Useful functions: – Cross Track Error(XTE) – Course To Steer (CRS) – Time To Go (TTG) – Automatic course change at next waypoint (WPT) – Total distance to end of route (DTG) – Total time to end of route. WPT 1

Using GPS to Navigate • Plan a series of waypoints. • Check for obstacles between them —shoals, rocks, islands. • Check 1/4 mile either side of your planned course for obstacles.

Plotting GPS Positions • Check positions periodically so that you will have a last known position in the event of GPS receiver failure. • Always plot your trips on a nautical chart. • Always use a Trip Log.

• GPS looks like a compass • GPS acts like a compass • Therefore it must be a compass • NOT TRUE !!!!!!!
Why GPS is not a Compass • GPS reports movement over ground - often different than the vessels heading. • GPS errors affect accuracy. • Always steer off your compass.
Rely on your compass for Direction.
GPS Tips *Use a minimum number of characters to define a waypoint. *Maintain an EXCEL list of waypoints for reference.
GPS Tips • Waypoints do not have to be located in the water. • Waypoints can be used to mark hazards to navigation--areas to avoid and areas to visit.
GPS Tips Place waypoints on the exact location of an Aid to Navigation Stay alert that a collision Hazard exists with the ATON or other boats in low visibility
GPS Tips NEVER rely on only one means of navigation.
GPS Tips • Use hand-held GPS units as backups to ship-mounted units. Carry extra batteries • Always use conventional paper charts with your GPS.
GPS Tips Remember that the greatest hazard to navigation may be a bored navigator.
GPS Tips • Practice use of GPS during ideal conditions to ensure familiarity with controls and procedures. • Keep the GPS Operation Manual aboard and read it carefully to master the essential features of your GPS-there may not be time to do this in an emergency. • Be patient but consistent.
GPS Tips Periodically verify your GPS position using other methods. Plot aids to navigation as waypoints. Stay alert for GPS malfunctions— especially when close to RADAR.
For More Information There are instructional video tapes available for many GPS models. Use your GPS Operating Manual.
