Simulator Mode
 WARNING
Do not try to navigate using simulator mode because the GPS receiver is turned off. Any satellite
signal strength bars shown are simulations and do not represent the strength of actual satellite
signals.
Simulator mode turns the GPS receiver off for use indoors or for practice using the chartplotter. The
chartplotter does not track satellites in simulator mode.
