While you are in the Sonar Simulator menu, don't forget to check
Simulate Position if you want to run the sonar and GPS simulators
simultaneously. As you review sonar logs, you can create waypoints
to mark sites you want to revisit.
While the simulator is running, you can switch from one chart log
to another by opening the Sonar Simulator menu and using the in-
