You can set the starting location by entering latitude/longitude (Starting Posi- tion) 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.
