As Mike stated the cord G command sets your virtual position to current GPS
position. You do not need a route open or any route commands. All that is
required is a satellite detection.

Chord G sets your Virtual position as your GPS position. After
exploring, switch back to GPS mode and press Chord N to ensure your
GPS position is nearest your route position assuming you had a route
open. This will probably happen automatically.
