Simulation mode provides a method of becoming familiar with the
Tracker500/500i functions. Boat movement is simulated and all
navigation functions are available. Setting SIMULATE to ON generates
a simulated boat with an initial position at the current position of the
Trackplot screen cursor, with zero speed and heading. To change the
speed and heading, switch to the Highway screen and use the cursor
up and down keys to change speed, and left and right to change the
boat’s heading.
