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.
By unplugging the GXM 30 antenna and placing the unit in

Simulator Mode, you can view simulated weather information.

NOTE: Do not try to navigate using Simulator Mode. When the

unit is set to Simulator Mode, 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. Highlight the

GPS tab on the Main Menu.

MENU to open the GPS tab options menu.
