Simulator - Allows you to operate the StreetPilot indoors to plan trips and find locations when the
unit is unable to receive GPS satellite signals. Can be set to Off or On. The Simulator Mode is
especially useful if you are indoors and wish to try the StreetPilot features. For more information on
the Simulator Mode, refer to page 8.
Night Mode - Night Mode alters the display colors for more comfortable viewing in dim ambient
conditions. Can be set to Off, On, or Auto. Auto mode activates the Night Mode feature between
sunset and sunrise using the GPS clock for the current day of the year.

Only, or None. The beep confirms that a button has been pressed or indicates a message.
