Furuno GP31

Hi All

I have been trying get my GP31 to work properly. I am able to get into Waypoints and select "Go to". On Selection i Select my desired spot and select enter.

I then change my Screen to Where the ship is below the direction to where i must go, but when i move one km west, one km east, one km south or one km north . The Ship doesnt move at all and doesnt track my destination, instead it doesnt move at all. Can anyone please assist me in getting to Use my GP31 correctly? Are my setting? What an i doing wrong? Can anyone help? I am trying to follow the prompts on the screen, but its not acknowledging that i am moving . Everything seems to work fne except when i want to go a a selected Way Point.

Can anyone please help me?

The ship will always stay at the bottom of that display but the distance to be travelled should reduce as you get nearer the destination.

Does your xte 'cross track error' change as you are travelling around?

Something must be wrong Don.

Is your gp31 picking up satellites and giving you a current location?
