The GPSMAP 230' s Satellite Page provides a visual reference of satellite acqui-
sition and receiver status, with a signal strength bar graph and a satellite sky view
in the center of the page. Each page of the GPSMAP 230' s system also features an
options page, which gives you access to other functions and features that relate to
the specific page you are viewing. To get a feel for how the options pages work,
lets put the GPSMAP 230 into simulator mode.

menu of options and functions for the Satellite Page.

display a 'Simulating Navigation' status, and you're ready to continue the rest of
the tour. Keep in mind that the GPSMAP 230 does not track satellites in simulator
mode, and should never be used for actual navigation. All the waypoint and route
planning done in simulator mode will still be retained in memory for future use.
