Furuno gps gp 32

The only place to get that screen is through a Furuno authorized dealer. The unit is sealed and gas filled to remain waterproof. You're best bet would be to send the unit in to Furuno for repair. You wont save much doing it yourself because the cost of the screen makes up most of the cost of the repair. They will also make sure that all the software is up to date for the new WAAS satellites that recently went on line.

Have you tried adjusting the contrast? On that model I believe you tap the power key while the unit is on and you will see 2 sliding scales on the screen, one for brightness and one for contrast. Up or down arrows select the scale and left or right arrows adjust it. If the contrast and brightmness aren't tied into the power key on that model, they're somewhere in the set up menu.

If adjusting the contrast doesn't help then the screen has most likely failed. This is commonly caused by old age, however repeated exposure to extreme heat or cold can cause premature failure.

Hello, I have a GPS FURUNO GP31 and his screen is out of service and I want to retrieve the data. You can do this ? because I am on vacation until Saturday, August 2 sydney.or i go to melbourne until

I have posted the Operator Manual at http://www.offscotland.plus.com/Temp/GP30-GP35-Operator's_Manual.pdf

Use this to check out section 7-10 to make up a cable to connect to a PC to allow download of data. Then, using the manual as a reference figure out the sequence of buttons to press to get the GP31 to download the waypoint and route data to the PC. Just press the buttons and assume the display is showing the next prompt. If you know someone you has a working GP31 get them to do the sequence and write down the buttons they press. You just copy the same sequence. You will need some software on the PC to capture the data,

Have a furunogp30, problem-isnt showing correct

Hi,

According to your problem, first reset the GPS device. Reset the antenna. Make sure your position that the antenna can receive the network. So set the position properly. You may need a firmware update for the device. If it doesn't solve your problem then you can reload the software of the device. You may have to replace the antenna. But before that, check the connection of the antenna properly.

Function of blue nmea wire in Furono GP31

The blue cable is the reférence 0 (ve-) for Receive Data (ve+ yellow wire) and for send data (green wire)
The function is the path return for the data transitting on the nmea bus. If not connected the return is made by the way of the ground of the véhicle if it is connected. othewise the nmea won't work.

It should be équal to the potential 0 Ground (if the ground plug is connected) but it could be a little different. The purpose is to isolate the minus of batterie from the ground, wich is very useful on a metalic vehicle (an aluminum boat for example).

I want to know where the red,yellow,blue,

red and black are power and ground, blue and white are gps output signal connect those to 9 pin connector pins 2 and 5 and get a 9 pin(serial) cable to usb adapter for input to a laptop, charting or mapping program and you are good to go. just make sure if you are using xp to wait until the mapping program is running and searching for gps signal before you connect the serial or usb because windows thinks the signal is from a mouse and the cursor will turn into a raging crackhead jumping all over the screen and randomly clicking on whatever it touches.

Using the nmea output from your GP-31 to the nmea input on the VHF. Enable the GLL Sentence and make sure the port is set for nmea0183. Remember hooking nmea up it's positive to positive and neg to neg. Once that is done and you have a fix you should have lat and long on your vhf.

Can we connct furuno gp31 to pc

Hello!
Yes, the GP31 can connect to a PC.  With the wiring harness, it has an RS-232 port, which allows it to connect to most PCs, laptops, and even most palmtop systems.
Hope this helps you out,
Ken
