·

If you have not customized your unit, this may be a good time to review
Chapter 11 for information concerning custom settings. Doing so will
help you understand what each setting will do.

·

If you wish to stop the simulation, simply turn the GPS 100 off. We
recommend that you delete the routes (see Section 7.5) and the
waypoints (see Section 4.9) created in this simulation prior to using
your unit again.
