unit is unable to receive GPS satellite signals. Can be set to Off or On. The Simulator Mode is
especially useful if you are indoors and wish to try the StreetPilot features. For more information on
the Simulator Mode, refer to page 8.

conditions. Can be set to Off, On, or Auto. Auto mode activates the Night Mode feature between
sunset and sunrise using the GPS clock for the current day of the year.
Backlight Timeout - Allows continuous screen/keypad backlighting when (Always On) is selected or
