Furuno Unveils Low-Cost

Color Video Plotter — Literature Available

Furuno-qualty color plotting is now available for the smaller ves- sel with the GD-200 color video plotter. Based on the company's well-proven, computerized plotter control system, the GD-200 uses a high-resolution, low-cost color monitor to display a visual read- out of own ship's course and navi- gation marks in seven owner- selectable colors.

The new unit offers many tradi- tional Furuno video plotter fea- tures: accepts navigation inputs from Loran, satnav, or Omega; electronic selection of chart scale (from V3 mile square to 56,000 miles square); shifting of the en- tire display in any direction; and digital display of major system pa- rameters on the CRT.

A bright, 14-inch CRT facili- tates navigation, fishing, and other marine activities. Both true and relative motion display modes can be selected, and even individual courseline segments can be shown in different colors. A total memory capacity of 1,500 points is pro- vided, and a built-in battery pro- tects stored information. Even
