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.
2.Set SPEED to zero. Select STEER WITH ARROWS command and press ENT, which turns on the simulator and returns you to the Map Page.
3.Begin navigating along the trail/route. (If you are close enough to the first waypoint, the arrival alarm will usually go off as soon as
navigation begins. Press EXIT to clear the alarm.) When navigation starts, press ↑ to increase speed to the desired setting.
4.Press EXIT to turn off the steering and speed boxes. The unit will now automatically "steer" along the trail or route. When you arrive at your "destination," cancel navigation as you normally do.
Tip:
You can pick any spot on the map to begin your simulation session by using the Initialize GPS command. This makes your unit think it's located at the position you select.
