Gps-simulator what does the gps-simulator do?

Check unders tools, pick settings, them pick system. Make sure the GPS Simulator is off. When on it will tell you the GPS is off when you add an address, and ask you if you want to Simulate driving this route. This is on my Nuvi 1370T.

could be a simulation settings was still ON mode, thats why it will not do tracking your way point.

GPS Simulator....To use the gps for typical navigation, while moving, touch Off. To simulate a route while Not Moving touch ON


If yo go to Tools... Help .... look around in there, lots of great info about the unit and easy to understand.

hi, you didnt mention what model gps you have, but most gps simulation do the same thing. if you have the simulation activated (some models are on by default, others are off by default) once you put in an address for the gps to guide you, the gps (if in simulation mode) will show you the coarse you will be taken, before you start out.

so if your in NY and plot a coarse for California, it will show you moving along the plotted coarse...thats going to take quite a while to view since the simulation will move along at what ever the posted speed limit is along the route, so its kinda like watching grass grow unless it doesn't take much to amuse the person watching the simulation. it is quite handy in that it allows you to view turns and intersections ect ect ect before you ever get to them.

hope this makes sense...let me know if i need to explain it better, but if you turn on the simulation mode then enter an address, you'll see what i mean.

Make sure your unit is not in SIMULATOR MODE.

Press the wrench at the main menu, then the Gear (system) icon. Then look for the option that says SIMULATOR. Make sure that function says OFF. With it ON, you can Simulate a driving route but your GPS will not be working in real time mode.

Press the menu button on the nuvi, then press the system or the simulation button, and tell it the simulation off or disable. I have a older model, and it is under system menu.

time fore a new gps ;]

*OF* wnen you use it on the road. It offers possibility of simulation where the signal is nit avaible. Vladan.

When driving I suggest, leave it turned on, when the unit is turned to simulator, the gps is turned off to save battery power. I assume that it just works like a map,but it does not know your exact location.

The word simulator means the imitation of some real thing.
Flight simulator, makes it seam like flying a plane.

Simulation is where it simulates where your trip will take you. Enter a new destination and don't select simulate trip.
