The GPS 12’s simulator mode lets you practice all
aspects of its operation without active satellite acquisi-

points and routes, and save them for use during nor-
mal operation.
To activate the simulator:
1. From the Setup Menu Page, highlight ‘SYSTEM’, and
press
E
.
2. Highlight the ‘MODE’ field, and press
E
.
3. Select ‘Simulator?’, and press
E

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
E
. You
may also enter a new position if you desire (from the
Position Page).
The GPS 12does not track satellites in simula-
tor 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.
