Navigation Simulator
The GPS 48’s simulator mode lets you practice all
aspects of its operation without active satellite acquisi-
tion. You can plan and practice trips, enter new way-
points and routes, and save them for use during normal
operation.
To activate the simulator:
1. From the Menu Page, highlight ‘SYSTEM SETUP’, and
press
E
.
2. Highlight the ‘MODE’ field, and press
E
.
3. Select ‘Simulator?’, and press
E
.
Once the simulator mode has been activated, use
the Position, Compass, or Highway Page to set your
speed and track by highlighting the appropriate field,
entering the desired value, and pressing
E
. You
may also enter a new position if you desire (from the
Position Page).
Note: You must enter a speed for all fields in the
GPS 48 to function.
The GPS 48 does not track satellites in simula-
tor mode. Although you can create and save
waypoints and routes while using the simulator
mode, never attempt to use the simulator mode
for actual navigation.
