#%-+)) Great care has been taken to create the ultimate naviga-
tion aid .... both in design and performance. The CE32 MKII 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.

4HE'LOBAL0OSITIONING3YSTEM 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 alti-
tude of approx. 20,200 km. The satellites transmit perfectly syncron-
ized 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 calcu-
late the ship’s position to within a few meters.
