Initialize GPS
This command is handy when you are practicing in simulator mode. In

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.

location and press

a live satellite lock-on or a new simulator location.

zoom range at a time — always keeping the destination on the screen.
