Simulating a Route on a nuvi 300 Series Device

Simulating a route allows you to see how the device will navigate you without actually driving the route (the vehicle icon will move and the device will speak the turn instructions). This feature is useful when you are in a location where a satellite signal cannot be accessed or for calculating a planned route. To simulate a route on an automotive device, the GPS Simulator must be turned on. 

To simulate a route from your current destination:

1. Close the antenna on the back of the device
2. On the main menu touch Where to?
3. Touch Browse Map
4. Touch the desired location on the map for the starting point
5. Touch Set Loc. (Set Location) at the bottom of the map screen
6. Touch Back after your Vehicle Icon has moved locations

You can now create a route starting from your new location and simulate the route.

*Note: If the two locations are separated by the ocean (e.g., starting in the US and attempting a route simulation to a point in Europe), the device will attempt the calculation but will not succeed. Instead, it will return an error stating that it cannot calculate the route. This can be corrected by placing both points on the same continent.
