Simulator Mode - Garmin GPSMAP 392, 398, 492, 498 Owner's Manual

Simulator Mode

Simulator Mode turns the GPS receiver off for use indoors or
practice. You can perform any of the functions discussed in
the following pages in Simulator Mode. Keep in mind that the
GPSMAP 392/398/492/498 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.
