GPS Simulator

The GPS simulator lets you use the unit as if you were outdoors navi-
gating somewhere. It's a great way to practice using your unit. You can
set the starting location by entering latitude/longitude (Starting Posi-
tion) or from a stored waypoint, map place or POI location (

command). You can steer your position and change speed on the map by
using the arrow keys (

 command) or by setting the track

and speed in the dialog boxes provided on the simulator menu screen.
