Mode
There are two choices for Mode:
Normal
Simulates the boat moving from the selected
start point at the given speed and heading.
The options required for Normal are:
Speed: The simulated boat speed to use.
Heading: The simulated bearing for the
boat to follow.
Note: To select the start point, go to the
chart display before starting the simulation.
Then:
• To start the simulation from the boat
position, press ESC to switch to centre on
boat mode.
• To start the simulation from a different
point, move the cursor to that point on
the chart.
Tip: To calculate a heading, use the cursor
(see section 3-3).
Tip: As the boat moves, vary Heading to
simulate the boat moving off course.
Demo
Simulates the boat moving along a route
at a given speed. When it reaches one end
it retraces the route in the other direction.
Before setting this mode enter at least one
route (see section 6-2-1). The options required
for Demo are:
Speed: The simulated boat speed to use.
Route: The route to follow.
! WARNING
Never have sonar or GPS simulate mode on
when the Explorer 660 is navigating on the
water.
Sonar simulation
The data from the sonar sensor is ignored and
the Explorer 660 generates this data internally
to simulate the depth of the water. Turn sonar
simulation Off or On.
GPS simulation
The data from the GPS receiver is ignored and
the Explorer 660 generates this data internally
to simulate the movement of the boat. Turn GPS
simulation Off or On.
