Make the desired settings, then turn the simulator on by highlighting the
SIMULATOR ON box and pressing ENT key. Press EXIT to erase this menu. A
message appears periodically, reminding you that the simulator is on. To
turn the simulator off, repeat the above steps or turn the unit off.
While in simulator mode, you can press
EXIT to clear the steering and
speed boxes from the screen while continuing the simulation. This will
allow you to use the map cursor during a simulation. To turn steering
and speed boxes back on again, return to the GPS Simulator menu, se-
lect the
STEER WITH ARROWS command, and press ENT, then press
EXIT|EXIT|EXIT to return to the previous page.
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. Pick a
STARTING PO-
SITION
at or near the beginning of your trail/route. Enter an approximate
TRACK (shown in compass degrees) that will point you toward the start
of the 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 ↑ (since you're using the Simulator's
STEER WITH ARROWS command)
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.
Instant-On Compass
When the iFINDER is in Sleep Mode, you can still quickly check your
compass bearing by pressing and holding the
MAP key. This activates
the screen and shows the current Compass display, including your cur-
rent heading and any information you are displaying in the customiza-
ble data boxes. As soon as you release the
MAP key the iFINDER will
return to
SLEEP MODE.
Map Auto Zoom
This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the but-
ton pushing that other brands of GPS receivers force you to make. It
works in conjunction with the navigation features.
