Selecting the Simulate Mode

The Simulate mode will help you become familiar with your
receiver and how it works by generating artificial position
fixes. By utilizing Simulate, the receiver will create a route
and will continue until you end it. In order to end and
delete the created route, you can return to the window
(where you initiated the mode) and select OFF or power the
receiver off.

If your receiver is not computing a position fix
after exiting Simulate mode, you may need to
reset your present position by reinitializing.
This is due to the Simulated position being
more than 300 miles from your actual present
position.

Both AUTO and USER modes generate a route and
simulate navigation using that route. AUTO mode uses a
speed of 25 mph and automatically generates a COG to
follow the route. USER mode allows you to set the speed
and COG to values you enter.
