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.
