Navigation Simulator
The GPS 126/128’s simulator mode lets you prac-
tice all aspects of its operation without active satellite
acquisition. You can plan and practice trips, enter new
waypoints and routes, and save them for use during
normal operation.
To activate the simulator:
1. From the Menu Page, highlight ‘SYSTEM SETUP’, and
press
F
.
2. Highlight the ‘mode’ field, and press
F
.
3. Select ‘Simulator?’, and press
F
.
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
F
. You may
also enter a new position if you desire (from the
Position Page).
The GPS 126/128 does not track satellites in
simulator mode. Although you can create and
save waypoints and routes while using the
simulator mode, never attempt to use the simu-
lator mode for actual navigation.
Select the simulator mode
from the operation mode
choices and press ENTER.
You may return to normal
operation by changing the
operation mode or by
turning the unit off.
