The GPSMAP 130’s status page provides a visual reference of satellite acquisi-

tion and receiver status, with a signal strength bar graph and a satellite sky view in

the center of the page. Each page of the GPSMAP 130’s system also features an

options page, which gives you access to other functions and features that relate to

the specific page you are viewing. To get a feel for how the options pages work,

lets put the GPSMAP 130 into simulator mode.

To place the GPSMAP 130 in simulator mode:

1. From the status page, press the

key. The options page will appear, displaying a menu

of options and functions for the status page.

2. Use the UP or DOWN arrow of the

keypad to highlight the ‘Start Simulator?’ option and

press

3. Press the

key to confirm the simulator warning.

Once the simulator has been started, the status field at the top of the page will

display a ‘Simulating Navigation’ status, and you’re ready to continue the rest of

the tour. Keep in mind that the GPSMAP 130 does not track satellites in simulator

mode, and should never be used for actual navigation. All the waypoint and route

planning done in simulator mode will still be retained in memory for future use.
