Using the Simulator Mode
Simulator Mode turns the GPS receiver off for use indoors or for practice. The unit does not track
satellites in simulator mode.

satellite signal strength bars shown are only simulations and do not represent the strength of actual
satellite signals.
To turn the Simulator Mode on:
1. From the Home screen, select Congure > System > Simulator > On.
2. Select Setup to set speed, track control, position, simulator time, and simulator date.
