Selecting and Entering Data
As we progress through this Owner’s Manual you will
often be directed to press a specified Interface key or
highlight a field. When you are directed to press a key,
you should press, then release the key. If the key needs
to be held down for a period of time, the instructions
will tell you. The position of the highlight is controlled
by the ROCKER key. When a field is highlighted, a
dark strip encompasses the field.
Simulator Mode
The Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the
unit while inside and satellite signals are not available.
When the GPSMAP 76 is in Simulator Mode, the GPS
receiver is turned off, conserving battery power. The
unit cannot be used for actual navigation.
NOTE: Do not try to navigate in Simulator Mode.
While in the Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is
turned off. Any Satellite Signal Strength Indicators
displayed are only simulations and do not indicate
the strength of actual satellite signals.
