Getting Started
Simulated Tour
Let’s give it a try by activating the practice route stored in memory for navigation:
1. Press NAV/MOB. The option list page will appear. (If we were selecting a single waypoint to navigate
to rather than a route, we could highlight the waypoint on the map, press NAV/MOB and then
press ENTER/MARK.)
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Follow Route’ option. Press ENTER/MARK to confi rm.
3. The Select Route page will appear, with the ‘GPS TOUR’ route highlighted.
4. Press ENTER/MARK then highlight ‘Activate’ and press ENTER/MARK again.
To get a better view of what’s going on, zoom in to a closer map scale.
1. Repeatedly press the IN key until you select the 5 nm scale.
Note: You may also hold the IN or OUT keys down to quickly scroll through the map scales. The
Map Page should now display the fi rst three waypoints chained together in a simple route, with your
boat at the fi rst route waypoint.
A data fi eld at the top of the page will now display the speed, distance to the second route waypoint,
and a pointer which shows you which way to go. To get started, let’s enter a speed for our vessel, which
we can do from the Main Menu Page.
To enter a boat speed:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu Page.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Sys’ tab, then press RIGHT, UP, then RIGHT until the ‘Set
Options’ button is highlighted and press ENTER/MARK.
3. Highlight the fi eld below ‘Speed’ and press ENTER/MARK.
4. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter a speed of 60 knots.
5. Press ENTER/MARK to fi nish, and QUIT until you return to the Map Page.
Once a speed has been entered, you’ll notice that the map will automatically begin to move slowly,
keeping your boat centered on the display. The direction of movement, also called ‘track’, will be
controlled by the simulator.

You can also Invert a route to follow
it in reverse.
