GPS Simulator

The GPS simulator lets you use the unit as if you were outdoors

navigating somewhere. It's a great way to practice using your unit. You

can set the starting location by entering latitude or from a stored

waypoint, map place or POI location (

CHOOSE START command). You can

steer your position and change speed on the map by using the arrow keys

(

STEER WITH ARROWS command) or by setting the track and speed in the

dialog boxes provided on the simulator menu screen.

To get to the GPS Simulator:

1. Press

MENU|MENU|↓ to GPS SETUP|ENT.

2. Press ↓ to

GPS SIMULATOR|ENT. The GPS Simulator Menu appears.

GPS Setup Menu (left); GPS Simulator menu (right).

Choose the desired settings, then turn the simulator on by highlighting

the

GPS SIMULATOR ON box and pressing ENT key. Press EXIT|EXIT|EXIT

to close this menu. A message and tone appear periodically, warning

you that the simulator is on. To turn the simulator off, repeat the above

steps or turn off the unit.

While in simulator mode and using the

STEER WITH ARROWS command, you

can press

EXIT to clear the steering and speed boxes from the screen.

This will allow you to use the map cursor during a simulation. To turn

steering and speed boxes back on again, return to the GPS Simulator

menu. Select the

STEER WITH ARROWS command, press ENT, then EXIT.

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:

STARTING

POSITION at or near the beginning of your trail/route. Enter an

approximate

TRACK (shown in compass degrees) that will point you

toward the start of the trail/route.
