GPS Simulator
The GPS simulator lets you use the unit as if you were navigating
outdoors. It's a great way to practice using your unit. You can set the
starting location from a stored waypoint, map place or POI location or by
entering latitude and longitude. 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 SYSTEM SETUP|ENT.
2. Press ↓ to
GPS SIMULATOR ON|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 the simulator is on. To turn off the simulator, 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:
1. From the Map Page, go to the simulator menu. Pick a
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.
