Experiment with your GPS 100!
· Now that we have started you on a fantasy trip to the Dry Tortugas,
why don’t you take some time to experiment with the GPS 100? Press
each page selection key to get familiar with available pages. Practice
using the cyclic fields to display new information. Examine the Active
Route Page as the simulation progresses. If you want, change the
simulation speed. You won’t break the GPS 100 even if you enter an
outrageous speed like 999 knots!
· As you progress through the simulation, the GPS 100 will alert you
with a message when you are within one minute of reaching Dry
Tortugas. When passing DRYTG, the GPS 100 will automatically
sequence to the next waypoint which is KEYW (Key West).
· At some point during the simulation, you may wish to try the GOTO
function. Suppose severe weather was reported in the Dry Tortugas
area. You wish to shorten your trip by heading directly to Key West,
Florida. Simply press the GOTO key. The CDI page will be displayed
as illustrated below. Remember, your data may be different.
· Enter KEYW. The GPS 100 will set an instantaneous course and you
are on your way to Key West!
· If you have not customized your unit, this may be a good time to review
Chapter 11 for information concerning custom settings. Doing so will
help you understand what each setting will do.
· If you wish to stop the simulation, simply turn the GPS 100 off. We
recommend that you delete the routes (see Section 7.5) and the
waypoint (see Section 4.9) created in this simulation prior to using
your unit again.
