Scroll to "Device Configuration..." and press enter. Scroll to the GPS100 and press enter. Scroll to "Cold start GPS Engine..." and press enter. Pres ...

  6. questionWhich Maretron products are required for me to display true wind referenced to ground speed?
    In order to display true wind referenced to ground speed you will need a WSO100, a GPS200, a SSC200, and a display capable of computing true wind referenced to ground speed. The WSO100 measures the apparent wind while the GPS200 provides Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG), the ...

  7. questionWhat are the weights and dimensions of Maretron products?


  8. questionHow do I display UTC from the GPS100 on Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
    You display UTC from the GPS100 on a DSM200 or DSM250 in the following way. Enter menu mode (press the enter key or far right button), scroll to "Favorite Screen Setup..." and press enter. Scroll to the favorite screen where you would like to view the UTC time and press enter. Scroll to "Data:" ...

  9. questionI see that Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a GPS100 configuration setting called "Reset Factory Defaults", what is this?
    Maretron's DSM200 and DSM250 displays have a GPS100 configuration setting called "Restore Factory Defaults", which is used to return the GPS100 to its factory settings. Resetting the GPS100 resets the SBAS mode back to enabled, resets the GPS mode back to Auto, resets the elevation mask back to ...

  10. questionWhen I am creating a favorite screen on the DSM250, I see an "Instance:" menu item, what does this mean?
    NMEA 2000 allows multiple devices of the same type to be connected on a network at one time. The "Instance:" menu item allows you to choose a particular device for display on the DSM250. For example, if there were two GPS antennas on the network, you could pick which GPS is used for the display. ...

  11. questionWhy does my GPS100 transmit the wrong year?
    There are rare occasions when the GPS100 will transmit an incorrect date as reflected in the year. This can happen if the GPS signals are weak or corrupted and the GPS100 incorrectly interprets time from the satellites. You can fix this by resetting the GPS100's factory defaults using Maretron's ...

  12. questionI navigate using true heading and not magnetic heading; how do I use the SSC200 compass and N2KView software to view my heading in true?
    The SSC200 compass outputs heading information in magnetic form and before N2KView can display true heading, the variation must be known. One source of variation is the Maretron GPS antenna/receiver (GPS100). If an SSC200 and GPS100 are connected together on the network, the true heading can be ...

  13. questionWhy doesn't Maretron offer a WSO100 with a built in GPS or compass?
    The WSO100 is generally placed at the highest point on the vessel so that it is not obstructed from the wind. Unfortunately, the highest point on a vessel is often the worst possible placement for a GPS or compass. Take for example a GPS mounted at the top of a sailboat mast where there is often ...

  14. questionWhat messages (or PGNs) does the GPS100 transmit?
    The GPS100 transmits the following messages (or PGNs): PGN 126992 - System Time (Fields: 1-SID, 2-Time Source) PGN 128259 - Speed (Fields: 1-SID, 2-Speed Water Referenced, 3- Speed Ground Referenced, 4-Speed Water Referenced Type) PGN 129025 - Position Data (Fields: 1-Latitude, 2- Longitude) PGN ...

  15. questionWhat is a GPS100?
    The GPS100 is a 12 channel global positioning system antenna and receiver with Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) capabilities. This includes SBAS for North America (WAAS), Europe (EGNOS), and Asia (MSAS). The GPS100 provides time and date, position (latitude and longitude), Speed Over G ...

  16. questionSometimes the GPS100 takes a long time to lock up and provide a position fix, why is this?
    Under extraordinary circumstances, the GPS100 goes into a deep signal search mode. When this occurs, it can take several minutes (sometimes as much as 12 minutes) before the GPS100 gathers enough information to provide a valid fix. This mode of operation doesn't normally happen, but it can occur ...

  17. questionWith regards to the GPS100, what is a warm start?
    When the GPS100 is started or powered up, it attempts to get a position fix in one of three modes, 1) hot start (typically acquires a fix in 8 seconds), 2) warm start (typically acquires a fix in 38 seconds), or 3) cold start (typically acquires a fix in 45 seconds or more). The GPS100 enters on ...

  18. questionHow is the GPS100 mounted?
    The GPS100 can be mounted to a flat surface or it can be mounted with the supplied pole mount. The GPS100 pole mount threads onto a standard marine 1", 14 threads per inch pole. Always mount or dismount the GPS100 with the three screws that hold the GPS100 to the pole mount, never screw or unscr ...

  19. questionWhy won't the GPS100 lock on and produce a fix?
    The GPS100 may not lock on and provide a fix for several reason. First, the GPS100 needs a clear view of the entire sky so you need to make sure the GPS100 is not obstructed by a deck house, TV antenna, or any other object that blocks the GPS100 from having a 360ø view of the sky. Secondly, the ...

  20. questionIs the GPS100 compatible with the European Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) called European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)?
    Yes, the GPS100 supports Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) including the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS).
