Using Simulator Mode
Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit if you are indoors and
satellite signals are not available. When the GPSMAP 3206/3210 is in Simulator
Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off. The unit cannot be used for actual
navigation.
NOTE: Do not try to navigate in Simulator Mode because the GPS receiver is
turned off. Any satellite signal strength indicators shown are only simulations
and do not indicate the strength of actual satellite signals.
