Simulating Trail or Route Navigation
In Simulator mode, your unit can automatically follow a trail or route
without manual steering if you use these steps:
1. From the Map Page, go to the simulator menu. Use the
SELECT START
command to pick a starting position at or near the beginning of your
trail/route.
2. Set
SPEED to zero. Select STEER WITH ARROWS command and press ENT,
which turns on the simulator and returns you to the Map Page.
3. Begin navigating along the trail/route. (If you are close enough to the
first waypoint, the arrival alarm will usually go off as soon as naviga-
tion begins. Press
EXIT to clear the alarm.) When navigation starts,
press ↑ to increase speed to the desired setting.
4. Press
EXIT to turn off the steering and speed boxes. The unit will now
automatically "steer" along the trail or route. When you arrive at your
"destination," cancel navigation as you normally do.

You can pick any spot on the map to begin your simulation session by
using the Initialize GPS command. This makes your unit think it's lo-
cated at the position you select. See the following entry for details.
