2 The eXplorist GPS receiver is a handheld personal navigati on device that uses information from a constel lation of GPS satellites to compute your present position.
3 2. Select a destination... Press the GOTO button. Next you need to select which major category the POI you want to go to resides. My Pts of Interest are POIs you’ve created, Geocache Pts are POIs .
4 T urning the eXplorist Receiver On Press Power . (Press and hold for 2 - 3 seconds.) After the eXplorist receiver succ essfully computes your present position, the last viewed navigatio n screen is displayed. T urning the eXplorist Receiver Off Press Power .
5 Y our eXplorist receiver employ s three different navigational screens to assist you in arriving at you r destination. Pressing the Nav button allows yo u to cycle through the navigat ion screen. The Map screen displays your present position u sing a map of the area as the background.
6 destination and the compass poin ts in the direction you are heading. The eXplorist stores data (PO Is, routes, track logs, etc.) as ASCII text files to either an SD card or to its internal memory .
7 File Structure This is a sa mple of the My P OIs folder . The first item , Up One Level, is used to move around the file hierarchy . The second item, New Folder , provides you the tool to add a new folder at this level. New POI File is used to cre ate a new ASCII text file to save your POI’ s too.
8 Y our eXplorist receiver comes with preloaded POI’ s for a variety of areas. However , you will find that you will want to add your own POI’ s to the database. POI’ s that you save are accessed from the “My Pts of Interest” option of the databas Saving Y our Present Position From any screen, press Mark.
9 Y ou can use your eXplorist recei ver to go to (“GOT O”) any destination in your POI database. This can be one of the POI’ s that was preloaded in your eXplor ist receiver , a geocaching point or a POI that you have saved. Once a GOTO route has been defined, your eXplorist receiver will guide you in a straight line to your destination.

13 If you understand the concept of a GOTO route being a straight route with a starting and ending point, then you can und erstand multileg routes. A multileg ro ute is many GOTO routes linked together . So instead of having a route that only goes from A to B, you can create routes that go from A to B to C to D and so on.
14 Using a Saved Route Highlighting a route you have saved and pressing Menu brings up a list of options you can perform on that route. Activate/Deactivate Route : Assigns the selected route as the route you are wanting to follow or tu rns of f the routing for that route if it was already active.
