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 POSI- TION 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 naviga- tion 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. Cancel navigation when you arrive at your destination.

Hide GPS Feature

If there is no GPS antenna/receiver module attached to this unit, the GPS menus and features can be hidden from view with this command. The default setting is off, allowing you to rotate between the Sonar Page and the GPS pages and features.

2.Highlight HIDE GPS FEATURES and press ENT. The GPS menus and pages are now hidden.

Initialize GPS

This command is handy when you are practicing in simulator mode. (See the entry in this section for GPS Simulator.) In simulator mode, this command makes the unit operate as if it is sitting someplace other than its actual location. So, you and your unit could be located in Kansas City, but easily practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada, Florida.
