Acquiring GPS Satellite Signals
When you turn on the unit, the GPS receiver must collect satellite
data and establish the current location. When the unit acquires
satellite signals, the signal strength bars at the top of the Home
screen are green . When the unit loses satellite signals, the
green bars disappear and the position icon displays a ashing
question mark.

www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.
Using Simulator Mode
Simulator mode turns the GPS receiver off for use indoors or for
practice. The unit does not track satellites in simulator mode.
WARNING
Do not try to navigate using simulator mode, because the GPS
receiver is turned off. Any satellite signal-strength bars shown are
only simulations and do not represent the strength of actual satellite
signals.
