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 the following entry.
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 practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada, Florida.

location and press

the message instructions.
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 its last known position until changed by either a live satel-
lite lock-on or a new simulator location.
Map Auto Zoom
This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the
button pushing that other brands of GPS receivers force you to make. It
works in conjunction with the navigation features.
First, start navigation to a waypoint (See the waypoint section for more
information on navigating to a waypoint.). Then, with the auto zoom
mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from the
present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward the
destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom
range at a time — always keeping the destination on the screen.
