Initialize GPS
In simulator mode, this command allows the unit to operate as if you
are somewhere other than your current location. You could be located
in Kansas City, but practice navigating in the ocean off Islamorada,
Florida.

2. A message appears, telling you to move the cursor near the desired
location and press

. When the message automatically clears, follow
the instructions.
3. In a moment, your present position marker arrow appears on the
map in the location you selected with the cursor. The unit will consider
that spot its last known position until it actually locks on to a satellite
or until you initialize the GPS in another location.
Map Auto Zoom
This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the
button pushing common with other brands of GPS receivers. It works
in conjunction with the navigation feature.
First, start navigation to a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for
more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the auto
zoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from
the present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward
the destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom
range at a time — always keeping the destination on the screen.
