2-7 Simulate mode
In Simulate mode, the Explorer 538/538i ignores
data from the GPS antenna and other transducers
and sensors and the Explorer 538/538i generates
this data itself. Otherwise, the Explorer 538/538i
functions normally.
There are two simulate modes:
Normal: Allows a user to become familiar
with the Explorer 538/538i off the water.
Demo: Simulates a boat moving along
a route and automatically displays different
Explorer 538/538i functions.
To start and stop Simulate mode, and for more
information, see section 14-12. In simulate mode,
Simulate or Demo flashes at the bottom of
the display.
Never have Simulate mode on when the
Explorer 538/538i is navigating on the water.
