Using Simulator Mode
Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit if you are
indoors or when satellite signals are not available. All waypoints and
routes created in Simulator Mode are retained in memory for future
use.
NOTE: Do not try to navigate using Simulator Mode because
the GPS receiver is turned off. Any satellite signal strength bars
shown are only simulations and do not represent the strength of
actual satellite signals.
To turn on Simulator Mode:
1. Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu.
2. Highlight the GPS tab.
3. Press MENU to open the GPS tab options menu.
4. Highlight Start Simulator, and press ENTER.
