Initialize GPS

In simulator mode, this command allows the unit to operate as if you

are somewhere other than your current location. You could be located

in Kansas City, but practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada,

Florida.

2. A message appears, telling you to move the cursor near the desired

location and press

. When the message automatically clears, follow

the instructions.
3. In a moment, your present position marker arrow appears on the

map in the location you selected with the cursor. The unit will consider

that spot its last known position until it actually locks on to a satellite

or until you initialize the GPS in another location.

Map Auto Zoom

This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the

button pushing common with other brands of GPS receivers. It works

in conjunction with the navigation feature.
First, start navigation to a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for

more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the auto

zoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from

the present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward

the destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom

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