Simulate

Turn simulate mode off

Turn simulate mode on

Tip:

To calculate a course, use the cursor (see

section 3-3).

Tip:

As the boat moves, vary Course to

simulate the boat moving off course.

2 Demo

Simulates a boat moving along a route and
automatically displays different Explorer
functions. The options required for Demo are:

Speed

: The simulated boat speed to use.

Route

: The route to follow.

WARNING

Never have simulate mode on when the
Explorer is navigating on the water.

Mode

There are two choices for

Mode

1 Normal

Simulates the boat moving from the selected
start point at the given speed and heading. The
options required for Normal are:

Speed

: The simulated boat speed to use.

Course

: The simulated course over ground.

Note:

To select the start point, go to the chart

display before starting the simulation. Then:

•

To start the simulation from the boat position,
press

to switch to centre on boat

mode.

•

To start the simulation from a different point,
move the cursor to that point on the chart.
