Simulator Mode
Simulator Mode turns the GPS receiver off for use indoors or
practice. Any of the functions discussed in the following pages
can be performed in Simulator Mode. While in Simulator Mode, a
“Running Simulator” message appears after 2 minutes of inactivity.
Keep in mind that the GPSMAP 182/182C does not track satellites
in Simulator Mode, and this mode should never be used for actual
navigation. All the waypoint and route planning completed in
Simulator Mode is retained in memory for future use.
NOTE: Do not attempt to navigate using Simulator Mode.
When the unit is set to Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is
turned off. Any satellite signal strength bars displayed are only
simulations and do not represent the strength of actual satellite
signals.
