Setup Sub Tab
The GPS Setup Tab contains the following options:
Skyview Orientation—allows you to select a sky view display, either North Up
or Track Up, for the GPS Info sub tab only.
Source—set to Garmin when using a Garmin sensor (GPS 17); set to NMEA
when using any other GPS NMEA source.
WAAS—toggles the WAAS capability of the Garmin receiver on or off.
The following soft keys are active only when the unit is not receiving satellites
and the Source is not set to Garmin:
• AutoLocate—allows the receiver to find your location automatically. This
process can take up to five minutes.
• Set Position—allows you to initialize the receiver graphically or manually
from the Map Page to initially help the receiver acquire satellites more
quickly.

Using Simulator Mode

Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit while inside and satellite
signals are not available. When the GPSMAP 3205 is in Simulator Mode, the
GPS receiver is turned off. The unit cannot be used for actual navigation.
NOTE: Do not try to navigate in Simulator Mode. While in Simulator Mode,
the GPS receiver is turned off. Any satellite signal strength indicators shown
are only simulations and do not indicate the strength of actual satellite signals.
To turn on Simulator Mode:
1. Press and hold ADJ/MENU to open the Main Menu.
2. Press up or down on the ROCKER to highlight the System tab.
3. Press right on the ROCKER to highlight the General sub tab, highlight the
System Mode field, and press ENTER.
4. Highlight Simulator, and press ENTER.
When Simulator Mode is active, the message "Simulating Operation" appears in
the status bar at the top of each page.
