Using Simulator Mode
Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit if you are
indoors or when satellite signals are not available. All waypoints and
routes created in Simulator Mode are retained in memory for future
use.
By unplugging the GXM 30 antenna and placing the unit in
Simulator Mode, you can view simulated weather information.

unit is set to Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off.
