WARNING:
As long as the External Passive Antenna command is acti-
vated, the iFINDER will only monitor GPS signals from an
external passive antenna. If you have this command acti-
vated and are not using an external passive antenna, the
unit will not be able to accurately lock on. To switch back
to the iFINDER's internal antenna (or to use an optional
external active antenna), be sure to turn off this command.
GPS Simulator
The GPS simulator lets you use the unit to simulate outdoor naviga-
tion. The starting location may be set in latitude/longitude, from a
stored waypoint, map place or POI location. You can move across the
map by using the arrow keys (
STEER W/ ARROWS) or by setting the track
and speed in the boxes provided on the simulator screen.
To get to the GPS Simulator:
1. Press
MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT.
2. Press to
GPS SIMULATOR|ENT.
GPS Setup Menu (left). The GPS Simulator menu (right).
Turn on the simulator by highlighting GPS SIMULATOR ON and pressing ENT,
which will turn on (check) or turn off (uncheck) the simulator. Press
EXIT
to close this menu. A message appears periodically, reminding you the
simulator is on. To turn off the simulator, repeat the steps above or turn
off the unit.
If you want to use the Steer with Arrows feature in tandem with the
simulator, select
STEER WITH ARROWS from the GPS Simulator menu and
press
ENT. You can remove the speed and steering boxes from the
screen by pressing
EXIT, which will allow you to use the map cursor
during simulation.
