Simulated Basic Navigation
To learn how to use the 76CS Plus, use it in Simulator
mode. Simulator mode is also helpful for practicing
with the unit indoors or when no satellite signals are
available. All waypoints and routes created in Simula-
tor mode are retained in memory for future use.
Activating Simulator Mode
You can activate Simulator mode from the Satellite
page. If you turn the unit off while in Simulator mode
and then turn it on again, the unit will be in normal
navigation mode (not in Simulator mode).
To activate Simulator mode:
1. Press the

NOTE:
Do not attempt to navigate in Simulator
mode. When Simulator mode is activated, the
GPS receiver is turned off. All indicators of
satellite signals are only simulations and do not
represent the strength of actual satellite signals.
