Simrad GPS ChartSounder CP30
Great care has been taken to create the ultimate navigation aid .... both in design and performance. The Simrad CP30 is a unique combination of the latest GPS receiver technology and built-in differential* receiver for accurate positioning, detailed cartography and high performance echosounder in a compact design with a 6" large LCD display in TFT color or monochrome.
Simrad CP30 chart system
includes a built-in world chart for rough planning and overview. The choice of chart system best suitable for the Simrad CP30 was carefully singled out to be the C-MAP mini cards CF95
The optional C-MAP charts are available world-wide at your local Simrad Yachting dealer.
The Echosounder System
with selectable frequencies will provide an impression of Bottom expansion, VRM expansion, A-scope and white line.
The Global Positioning System
is rapidly becoming the most common system used for navigation and positioning all over the world. Not only for maritime use, but also for land-based applications and aviation. The satellite-based system has been developed and is operated by the US Department of Defence in order to provide an accurate and reliable service, which include a 24-hour global coverage. The GPS System consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit around the Earth at an altitude of approx. 20,200 km. The satellites transmit perfectly syncronized data. However, depending on the position, the signals will reach the receiver at a slightly different time. By adding the measured time difference to the known position of the satellites it is possible to calculate the ship’s position to within a few meters.
