GPS Simulator
The GPS simulator lets you use the unit as if you were outdoors navi-
gating somewhere. It's a great way to practice using your unit. 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.

shows Track and Speed steering arrow indicators, right. In this exam-
ple, you are "traveling" across Mudisland Point on a track of 19º
