Press 0, 1, 5, followed by the ENT key, to indicate 15 knots (You may
enter any speed you wish). The simulation velocity is now set. The
page will indicate velocity, bearing, range, CDI and ETE information.
·
You may use the CLR key while the cursor is over any field proceeded
by ">" to select a different display option. Try placing the cursor over
"TRK" and press the CLR key. The GPS 100 will display "BRG" which
stands for bearing!
Experiment with your GPS 100!

Now that we have started you on a fantasy trip to the Dry Tortugas,
why don't you take some time to experiment with the GPS 100? Press
each page selection key to get familiar with available pages. Practice
using the cyclic fields to display new information. Examine the Active
Route Page as the simulation progresses. If you want, change the
simulation speed. You won't break the GPS 100 even if you enter an
outrageous speed like 999 knots!

As you progress through the simulation, the GPS 100 will alert you
with a message when you are within one minute of reaching the
waypoint DRYTG. When passing DRYTG, the GPS 100 will automati-
cally sequence to the next waypoint which is KYWST.
·
At some point during the simulation, you may wish to try the GOTO
function. Suppose severe weather was reported over your VHF com
in the Dry Tortugas area. You wish to shorten your trip by heading
directly to Key West, Florida. Simply press the GOTO key. The CDI
Page will be displayed as illustrated below.

Enter KYWST. The GPS 100 will set an instantaneous course and
