GPS ANTENNA location on ship (is x in above Menu example). Antenna for external GPS is
located 200 meters from bow (A) and 33 Meters from Starboard side (D).
Antenna for internal GPS is located 220 meters from bow (A) and 33 Meters from Starboard
side (D).
GPS Antenna Mounting
It is important to input the exact mounting position of the GPS Antenna on the vessel as this
influences the accuracy of the displayed target in an ECDIS.
(Ref.Points ext:) = The position of any external positioning device (GPS Antenna) used as
primary position source.
(Ref.Points int:) = The position of the GPS Antenna (fallback device in case primary source
is disabled).
After antenna installation, the distance from the sides must be measured and input.
Either the distance from the vessel‟s bow (a) or the stern (b) and starboard (d) and backboard
(c) are required.
e.g. A vessel with the following dimensions:
Length:
220m
Beam: 43m
Input:
A: 200 - then press Enter
B: 20 - then press Enter
C: 10
– then press Enter
D: 33 – then press Enter
