Getting Started > 

Simulated Basic Navigation

The GPSMAP 495 contains a Simulator Mode. Simulator Mode 

is helpful for practicing with the unit indoors or when no satellite 

signals are available or if the antenna is not connected. All 

waypoints and routes created in Simulator Mode are retained in 

memory for future use. The following section describes how to use 

Simulator Mode and walks you through some basic navigation using 

the simulator. 

  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 shown are only simulations 

and do not represent the strength of actual satellite signals.
