For centuries, sailors have been searching for a reliable and precise method of travelling the world’s
waterways. From celestial navigating to the modern navigation techniques as Loran, Decca navigator,
Omega or Transit Satnav, each system has had its problems with weather, range and reliability.
Without doubt, the “Global Positioning System”, or GPS for short, is the most significant advance in
navigation: it provides the navigator a position 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in any weather
condition. GPS is a satellite based navigation system which provides suitably equipped users with
accurate position, velocity and time data. Originally the GPS, developed by the U.S. Department of
Defense, was conceived for military purposes, but now it is used in a host of civilian applications.
GPS navigation uses satellite signals to determine your position in relation to a set of satellites orbiting
the earth. The GPS constellation of satellites continuously sends radio signals, containing the precise
position for each satellite back to earth. By knowing the position of 3 or 4 satellites and calculating
various time differences between transmitted signals, the GPS receiver can determine its present
position anywhere on earth, and thanks to continuous updates, calculate speed and course
information.
Display Unit Installation
Temporarily install the mounting bracket on the Genesis display unit and place the unit at the selected
