21. APPENDIX: TERMS

ALT (Altitude) – Shows the Altitude of the GPS Antenna on the mean sea level. It i received from GPS, sentence GGA.

APP Wind DIR SPD (Apparent Wind Direction) – Shows the Apparent Wind Direction when a external wind instrument with NMEA is connected.

APP Wind SPD (Apparent Wind Speed) – Shows the Apparent Wind Speed when a external wind instrument with NMEA is connected.

BRG (Bearing) – The direction from your current position to a Destination point. COG (Course Over Ground) – The course your vessel is heading.

DATE – Shows the current date received by the GPS.

DEPTH – Shows the water depth when the optional FF520 50/200kHz BLACK BOX FISH FINDER or Digital Depth Sounder is connected.

DEPTH AREAS – Depth Areas are the sea areas included in the user selectable range of minimum and maximum depth limits. The sea area that is beyond the selected range is filled by an uniform white color, the sea area that is inside the selected range is filled by ordinary multicolor shading. The Spot Soundings and Depth Contours are displayed on the range only.

DRAUGHT – Depth of water the vessel draws.

The definition of draught (or draft) of a ship’s hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel). Draught determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate.

On the Celestial page the “draught” window shows the height of the tidal water during a 24hr period of time. This height is dependant on the time of day selected using the ShuttlePoint knob.

DSC (Digital Selective Calling) – Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a VHF Radio call. DSC had also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.

DST (Distance) – The distance from your current position to a Destination point. ETA – Estimated Time of Arrival

GPS Constellation – The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio- navigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites and a network of ground stations used for monitoring and control. A minimum of 24 GPS satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of approximately 11,000 miles providing users with accurate information on position, velocity and time anywhere in the world and in all weather conditions.

GPS2D – The GPS is receiving at least 3 valid satellites. GPS3D – The GPS is receiving at least 4 Satellites.

CPF180I, CPF300I specifications

The Standard Horizon CPF300i and CPF180i are two advanced marine chart plotters designed to enhance the navigation experience for both recreational and professional boaters. These units combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making them a popular choice among marine enthusiasts.

The Standard Horizon CPF300i is equipped with a bright 10.4-inch display that ensures excellent visibility even in direct sunlight. It features a high-resolution color screen that presents detailed cartographic information clearly. The unit integrates advanced GPS technology, providing precise positioning that is crucial for navigating complex waterways. Additionally, it comes with built-in Wi-Fi, enabling users to share their data and download updates easily.

One key feature of the CPF300i is its capability to support multiple chart formats, including C-MAP and Navionics. This flexibility allows users to select the cartography that best suits their needs, ensuring they have access to the most up-to-date navigational information available. The CPF300i also supports radar overlay and fish finder integration, making it an excellent tool for fishing and safe navigation in various conditions.

On the other hand, the CPF180i offers a slightly smaller 7-inch display but does not compromise on functionality. This model is perfect for smaller vessels, maintaining a compact form factor while delivering essential navigational features. The CPF180i also incorporates GPS functionality, ensuring accurate positioning and helping mariners stay on course. Its intuitive user interface allows for easy operation, making it accessible even to less experienced users.

Both models feature a built-in AIS (Automatic Identification System) that increases safety by displaying the positions of nearby vessels. The AIS integration allows users to monitor traffic in busy waterways and avoid potential collisions. Additionally, both units support NMEA 2000 connectivity, enabling integration with other onboard systems such as engine data and autopilot control.

In summary, the Standard Horizon CPF300i and CPF180i are equipped with high-resolution displays, robust GPS technology, and multiple chart support. The CPF300i, with its larger screen and advanced features, is ideal for those needing comprehensive navigation solutions, while the CPF180i caters to users looking for a compact and efficient unit. Together, they represent a significant advancement in marine navigation technology, providing boaters with the tools they need to enhance their on-water experience.
