WAAS Satellite Differential GPS
WAASprovidesdifferentialaugmentationtoGPS.Itwasdesignedto
enhancethebasic GPS serviceto satisfythe aviationindustry’s
navigationrequirement forinstrumentflightrulenavigationand
landing,IFRandapproachlandings.WAAShasbeen in near
continuous broadcast since December 1999and is also availablefor
other GPS applications suchas marine navigation, surveying,
agriculture and automotive systems.
WAAS consists of a network of ground reference stations across the
United States that monitor GPS satellite data. The master stations
collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction
message, taking into account selective availability (SA), GPS
satelliteorbitandclockdrift,andsignaldelayscaused by the
atmosphere and ionosphere. The ‘corrected’ differentialmessages
arethenbroadcastthrough two GeostationaryEarthOrbit(GEO)
satellites on the same frequency as the GPS signal. The Raymarine
Raynav 300and301GPSreceiverutilizesoneofits12 channels to
‘listen’anddecodethecorrectedWAASmessages.Theresult isa
DGPSsystemthatprovidesimproved accuracy(<3 meters) in
comparisonwithstandardGPS (100 meters with SA, 15 m without
SA)and land basedDGPS(10 meters) systems.
TheWAAS system is shown diagrammaticallyinFigure i.

Extended Offshore Coverage
UsingtwoGEOsatellites,WAAS provides augmented differential
GPS coverage for most ofNorth America. Since the WAAS
differentialmessagesare broadcast by GEO satellites, the WAAS
signalscover a greaterarea bothinland and offshorein comparison
withlandbasedDGPSsystems.Coverage for North America is

1.2 Features
General
TheRaynav300GPS Plotterhas a built-inGPS that provides the
following navigational signals:
• SatelliteDifferentialGPS(eg,WAAS).
• GroundbasedDifferentialGPS,whenusedwithanadditionalRTCM
beacon receiver.
• StandardGPS.
These are listed inorder of accuracy and their availabilityis dependent
upon your location.The Raynav 300 GPSPlotter uses the best available
signal to provide optimum accuracy.
TheRaynav300GPSPlotteriswaterprooftoCFR46andcanbeinstalled
eitherabove or belowdeck.
Theunitcomprises
• Lowprofileantenna
•4
½in.LCD displaycomprising:
• Eight dedicated (labelled) control keys
• Foursoftkeyswithlabelsdisplayedon-screen
•Trackpad
The display and keyscan be illuminatedfor night-time use.
Display
• ComputespositioninformationfromSDGPS,DGPS or GPS
• Displays and transmits SeaTalk and NMEA data
• Cursorecho acrossSeaTalk
• Choiceoforientation:Head Up, Course Up and North Up
Display Modes
The GPS Plotter can display data in the following modes,
cycled through by means of the DISPLAY key:
• DefaultGPS/Waypointdisplay
• Boat Data (three pages) / Environment Data (two pages)
• Bearing&DistanceIndicator(BDI) / Course DeviationIndicator
(CDI)
• DataBoxes
• DataLog
• Plotterdisplay
• Return to default GPS/Waypoint display

Chapter 1: Overview 1-3
Those modes containing more than one page of data provide additional
softkeysgivingaccess to the sub-sets of data withineach group, each
cycledthrough with the associatedsoftkey.
1.3 The Plotter Display
Whenapositionfix has beenestablished,yourvessel’s position,ifon
screen, is shown as a boat shape, pointinginthedirection of the current
heading (or COG if heading data is not available).If no heading orCOG
data is available, the vessel is shown asa circle.
Astatus bar atthe top ofthe screendisplaysthescale,with eithercursor
position,rangeand bearingor, when the cursor is homed (locked) to the
vessel (by pressing FIND SHIP),vesselposition,Speed OverGround
(SOG)andCourseOver Ground (COG).
Note: Whenthecursor ishomed, it is‘locked’tothe vessel andmoves
withit. The screenis automatically panned to keepthe vesseland cursor
insuchapositionthattheyare10%fromtheedgeofthewindowwiththe
headingvector(beitshownornot)passingthroughthecenterofthewin-
dow.
Thecurrentroute is shown and any waypoints you have placed are
displayed(unlessyou setthem to offin Set Up). Informationcanbe
viewedon-screen by positioningthe cursor over a waypoint,current
routeortrack.
Functionsare available to controlthedisplayas follows:
• Zoomin/out
• PantheDisplay
• Centre the Chart on the Vessel

include:
• Atrackpad providingup, down, left, right and diagonal control of an
on-screen cursor.
• Eightdedicated (labelled)controlkeys.
• Foursoftkeys with labels displayed on screen.
• Pop-upmenus,displayedon-screen,fromwhichoptionsareselected.
• Databaselists,displayedon-screen, whichenable editing of items.
Note: Thecursor is the cross-hair symbol(+)visibleonthedisplay.The
trackpad moves the cursor to select apositionoritemon the chart.
The controls are shown in Figure 1-1. They are back-lit for night-time
use.Whenyouusecertaincontrols,ahelpmessageisdisplayedatthetop
ofthescreen (unless you switch help offasdescribedinChapter 4). The
followingparagraphs describe the controlsandon-screen facilities.

Trackpad and Cursor
Thetrackpad is usedto:
• Move the cursor aroundthe screen
• Selectan item from a pop-up menu
• Adjusta variablesoftkey control
Thecursor is used to:
• Selecta positionon the screen.
• Select and, if valid, move an item, e.g. a waypoint, on the screen.
• Selectanareaofthescreento zoominto.
• Panthedisplay.
Moving the Cursor
Pressthe correspondingedgeofthe trackpad to move the cursor
horizontally, vertically or diagonally; the longer you press, the faster the
cursormoves.The current cursor position is shown in the StatusBar at
thetopofthedisplay.
Note: When certain menus and soft keys are displayed, the cursor is not
active.If youfindthatyou cannot movethecursor,it may be becausethe
unitisin one of these modes. PressCLEAR (repeatedly) untilthedefault
