Getting Started
Simulated Tour
Let’s give it a try by activating the practice route stored in memory for navigation:
1. Press NAV/MOB. The options list will appear. (If we were selecting a single waypoint to navigate
to rather than a route, we could highlight the waypoint on the map, press NAV/MOB and then
press ENTER/MARK.)
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Follow Route’ option. Press ENTER/MARK to confi rm.
3. The Select Route page will appear with the ‘GPSMAP TOUR’ route highlighted.
4. Press ENTER/MARK, then highlight ‘Activate’ and press ENTER/MARK again.
To get a better view of what’s going on, zoom in to a closer map scale.
1. Repeatedly press the IN key until you select the 3 nm scale.
Note: You may also hold the IN or OUT keys down to quickly scroll through the map scales.
The Map Page should now display fi ve waypoints chained together in a simple route, with your boat
at the fi rst route waypoint.
A data fi eld at the top of the page will now display the speed, distance to the second route
waypoint, and a pointer which shows you which way to go. To get started, let’s enter a speed for our
vessel, which we can do from the Main Menu Page.
To enter a boat speed:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu Page.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Systm’ tab. Press RIGHT, then DOWN until the fi eld
below the word ‘Speed’ is highlighted and press ENTER/MARK.
3. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter a speed of 60 knots.
4. Press ENTER/MARK to fi nish, and QUIT until you return to the Map Page.
Once a speed has been entered, you’ll notice that the map will automatically begin to move slowly,
keeping your boat centered on the display. The direction of movement, also called ‘track’, will be
controlled by the simulator.
The Set Position, Track Control, Track
and Speed fi elds will only show while
in simulator mode.
You can also Invert a route to follow
it in reverse.
