The GPS III+ is a powerful navigation system providing detailed mapping information in a convenient, compact package. This simulator tour is designed to show you the basic features of your new GPS III+ during a simulated trip. The simulator tour assumes that the receiver has been properly initialized as outlined in the Getting Started section of this manual, and that you have not changed any of the factory default settings. If you have changed any settings (position formats, units of measure, etc.), the descriptions and pictures in the tour may not match your configuration. Once you're familiar with the primary functions of the GPS III+, you'll be ready to use your new receiver on a real trip to a destination of your choice. The Reference section of this manual may be consulted for any additional questions you may have, or to learn about the more advanced features of the GPS III+. For now, let's get started on the Simulator Tour! If the GPS III+ is currently off, we'll need to start by turning it on. To turn the GPS III+ on, press and hold the red power key. The Welcome Page will be displayed while the unit conducts a self test. Once testing is complete, the Welcome Page is replaced by a warning page, then by the Satellite Status Page. Since we'll be using the simulator mode, we don't need to wait for the receiver to acquire satellites. I WARNING: Keep in mind that the GPS III+ does not track satellites in simulator mode and should never be used for actual navigation. The GPS III+ cannot be turned on in simulator mode. If you forget to change back to normal operation before shutting the receiver off, it will automatically return to normal mode the next time you use the receiver. SIMULATOR TOUR Selecting Simulator Mode The Welcome Page is displayed when the GPS III+ is first turned on. After a brief self-test, it is replaced by a warning page for about 10 seconds. To acknowledge this page, press ENTER. The Satellite Status Page appears next. For simulator mode operations, there's no need to wait for the GPS III+ to acquire satellites. 17
