Simulating Trail or Route Navigation
In Simulator mode, your unit can automatically follow a trail or route
without manual steering if you use these steps:

trail/route.

command and press ENT,

using the Initialize GPS command. This makes your unit think it's lo-
cated at the position you select. See the following entry for details.
Initialize GPS
This command is handy when you are practicing in simulator mode. (See
the previous entry 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 Kansas City, but eas-
ily practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada, Florida.
