2-7 Simulate mode
In Simulate mode, the 557/567 ignores data from
the GPS antenna and other transducers and
sensors and the 557/567 generates this data itself.
Otherwise, the 557/567 functions normally.
There are two simulate modes:
Normal: Allows a user to become familiar
with the 557/567 off the water.
Demo: Simulates a boat moving along a
route and automatically displays different
557/567 functions.
To start and stop Simulate mode, and for more
information, see section 15-13. In simulate mode,
Simulate or Demo flashes at the bottom of
the display.
