points and routes, and save them for use during nor-
mal operation.

SETUP’, and press .

3. Select ‘Simulator?’, and press .
Once the simulator mode has been activated, use
the Position, Compass, or Highway Page to set your
speed and track by highlighting the appropriate field,
entering the desired value, and pressing

may also enter a new position if you desire (from the
Position Page).
The GPS 12XLdoes not track satellites in simu -
lator mode. Although you can create and save
waypoints and routes while using the simulator
mode, never attempt to use the simulator mode
for actual navigation.
