Simulator Mode
Simulator Mode turns the GPS receiver off for use indoors or
practice. Any of the functions discussed in the following pages can
be performed in Simulator Mode. Keep in mind that the GPSMAP
292/298 does not track satellites in Simulator Mode, and this mode
should never be used for actual navigation. All the waypoint and
route planning completed in Simulator Mode is retained in memory
for future use.
WARNING: Do not attempt to navigate using Simulator
Mode. When the unit is set to Simulator Mode, the GPS
receiver is turned off. Any satellite signal strength bars shown
are only simulations and do not represent the strength of actual
satellite signals.
