Nobeltec WAAS GPS-18W

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  My WAAS GPS-18W is plugged into my PC, but I am not picking up any targets. 

What could be wrong?

A:  Make sure that all cables are connected properly and securely, and that power is 

coming into the receiver. If you have power, the lights on the front of the receiver 
should be on. Additionally, make sure that you have correctly configured Nobeltec 
Navigation Software to operate with the WAAS GPS-18W (see the Nobeltec 
Navigation Software User's Guide, Target Tracking - AIS chapter). If all cables 
are connected properly, you may want to verify that your 9-pin NMEA cable is 
transmitting data by connecting it to another device that you know accepts NMEA 
0183 data, such as a GPS.

Q:  I was tracking a target on my screen and it suddenly disappeared. What 

happened to it?

A:  Target data is broadcast, typically, at expected intervals. When Nobeltec Navigation 

Software hasn't received an updated message from an AIS target for a period 
of time, the target will move into an "unknown" state before leaving the screen 
altogether. However, if you experience lost targets on a consistent basis, please 
contact Nobeltec's Technical Support Department for further information.

Q:  I'm not seeing any AIS targets onscreen. What's wrong?

A:  If you have properly configured and installed your WAAS GPS-18W and your 

Nobeltec Navigation Software (sold separately), it may be that there are no AIS-
transmitting vessels within range.
