Getting Started
Simulator Mode
You may also adjust the screen contrast (GPSMAP 188/238 monochrome only).
To adjust the screen contrast:
1. Press POWER and the Light and Contrast window appears.
2. To decrease or increase the screen contrast, press left or right on the ARROW KEYPAD.
3. Press the ENTER/MARK key to fi nish.
Each page of the GPSMAP 188/188C/238 Sounder’s system also features an options page, which
gives you access to other functions and features that relate to the specifi c page you are viewing. To get a
feel for how the option pages work, let’s put the GPSMAP 188/188C/238 Sounder into simulator mode.
To activate the simulator mode:
1. Press the MENU key twice for the Main Menu. Press Up or Down on the ARROW KEYPAD until
the ‘GPS’ tab is highlighted, then press the MENU key once.
2. Use the UP or DOWN arrow of the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Start Simulator’ option and
press ENTER. Choose ‘No’ to the retail demonstration and press the ENTER key.
3. Press the ENTER key to confi rm the ‘Running Simulator’ message that appears at the bottom of the
display. ‘Simulating’ appears at the top of the Main pages.
While in Simulator mode, a ‘Running Simulator’ message appears after 2 minutes of inactivity..
Now you’re ready to continue the rest of the simulated tour. Keep in mind that the GPSMAP 188/
188C/238 Sounder does not track satellites in simulator mode, and this mode should never
be used for actual navigation. All the waypoint and route planning done in simulator mode is still
retained in memory for future use.
Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the backlighting slider
UP for brighter or DOWN for dimmer backlighting. Mono-
chrome units will have an additional Contrast adjustment.
A “Running Simulator” message
appears after 2 minutes of
inactivity.
