3. Begin navigating along the trail/route. (If you are close enough to the
first waypoint, the arrival alarm will usually go off as soon as naviga-
tion begins. Press

EXIT

to clear the alarm.) When navigation starts,

press

↑ to increase speed to the desired setting.

4. Press

EXIT

to turn off the steering and speed boxes. The unit will now

automatically "steer" along the trail or route. When you arrive at your
"destination," cancel navigation as you normally do.

Tip:

You can pick any spot on the map to begin your simulation session
by using the Initialize GPS command. This makes your unit think
it's located at the position you select. See it's entry following the en-
try for

Hide GPS Features.

Initialize GPS

This command is handy when you are practicing in simulator mode.
(See the entry in this section for

GPS Simulator.) In simulator mode,

this command makes the unit operate as if it is sitting someplace other
than its actual location. So, you and your unit could be located in Kan-
sas City, but easily practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada,
Florida.

3. In a moment, your present position marker arrow appears on the
map in the location you selected with the cursor. The unit will consider
that spot as it's last known position until changed by either a live sat-
ellite lock-on or a new simulator location.
