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. While in Simulator Mode, a 
“Running Simulator” message appears after 2 minutes of inactivity. 
Keep in mind that the GPSMAP 188/188C Sounder 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.
  NOTE: 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 displayed are only 
simulations and do not represent the strength of actual satellite 
signals.
