13.4 SIMULATION
The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the GPS Chart
Plotter. No current position fix is required because the GPS Chart Plotter simulates position
data internally.
Simulation Mode
: Three selections:
a. Off - turn the simulation mode off
b. On - enable the simulator mode, where the speed and course are adjusted by
entering in values in the Course and Speed selection discussed later in this table.
c. Route - this selection allows you to navigate to a saved route.
Course
: To start the simulator you can insert the Course value.
Speed
: To start the simulator you can insert the Speed value.
Date
: To start the simulator you can insert the date.
Time
: To start the simulator you can insert the time.
Cursor Control
: Enables (On)/disables (Off) the cursor control. Moving the ShuttlePoint knob up or down will
change the SOG and left or right will change the COG of the simulated vessel.
Demo Mode
: In Demo mode the GPS Chart Plotter automatically places a Destination point on the Chart
page and simulates navigation to the point. Also, the active page changes automatically
every 10 seconds. The pages are shown in the following order: Start-up screen, GPS Status,
Chart/Compass tape, Chart/Fish Finder, Full page Fish Finder, Full page Radar, Naviga-
tion, Highway, Celestial, NMEA. Once the Demo mode is enabled, pressing any key it is
possible to temporally exit and returns to GPS Chart Plotter normal operation, but if you do
not touch any key for 30 seconds Demo mode re-starts.
