Quick Start
While learning the basic operation of the GPS 72, lets put the unit into Simulator Mode.
The Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit while inside and satellite signals are
not available. While the GPS 72 is in Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off (this will
help conserve battery power) and the unit cannot be used for actual navigation.
NOTE: Do not try to navigate using the Simulator Mode. While in the Simula-
tor Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off. Any Satellite Signal Strength Indicators
displayed are only simulations and do not indicate the strength of actual satellite
signals.
Activating the Simulator Mode
Press the POWER key to turn the unit on. The Welcome Page will be displayed, press the
PAGE key twice to display the GPS Information Page.
Putting the GPS 72 in Simulator Mode:
1. With the GPS Information Page displayed press the MENU key.
2. Using the ROCKER key, highlight ‘Start Simulator’ then press the ENTER key.
When the GPS 72 is placed into Simulator Mode, the message ‘Simulating GPS’ will be
displayed along the top of the GPS Information Page.
