While learning the basic operation of the GPSMAP 76S, let' s put the unit

into Simulator Mode. The Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit

while inside and satellite signals are not available. When the GPSMAP 76S is in

Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off (this will help conserve battery

power) and the unit cannot be used for actual navigation.

NOTE: Do not try to navigate using the Simulator Mode. While in the

Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off. Any Satellite Signal

Strength Indicators displayed are only simulations and do not indicate

the strength of actual satellite signals.

Press the POWER key to turn the unit on. The Welcome Page will be

displayed, press the PAGE key twice to display the GPS Information Page.

Putting the GPSMAP 76S in Simulator Mode:

1. With the GPS Information Page displayed press the MENU key.

2. Using the ROCKER key, highlight 'Start Simulator' then press the ENTER key

to activate the simulator.
