Simulator Mode

To help you get to know your GPSMAP 378/478, you can use
the unit in Simulator Mode. Simulator Mode is also helpful for
practicing with the unit indoors or when no satellite signals are
available. All waypoints and routes created in Simulator Mode are
retained in memory for future use.
By unplugging the optional GXM 30 antenna and placing the unit in
Simulator Mode, you can view simulated weather information.
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.
