While learning the basic operation of the GPSMAP 76S, let’s put the unit
into Simulator Mode. The Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit
while inside and satellite signals are not available. When the GPSMAP 76S is in
Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off (this will help conserve battery
power) and the unit cannot be used for actual navigation.
NOTE: Do not try to navigate using the Simulator Mode. While in the
Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off. Any Satellite Signal
Strength Indicators displayed are only simulations and do not indicate
the strength of actual satellite signals.
