Step Two: Where Do You Want To Go?

Now that the eXplorist knows where you are, you need to tell it where you want to go.

There are many different ways you can do this, but the simplest and most commonly

used is a “GOTO” route. This is a one-leg route with a beginning (where you are now)

and a destination (where you want to go). The destination is selected by using the

Points of Interest database. This database has two main options: positions you have

saved (

My Points of Interest) or points of interest that have been preloaded into your

eXplorist (

Background Map).

Creating a GOTO route is as simple as pressing the

GOTO button and selecting the des-

tination from the points of interest database.

Step Three: Calculating Movement

As you move, your eXplorist is constantly calculating new positions, comparing the new

position to the previous position and calculating such things as heading and speed.

This is all done in the eXplorist’s software communicating with the satellites and is

instantaneously shown on your display.

Step Four: Providing Directions

Your eXplorist constantly computes a direct line from your present position to your desti-

nation. From there, it will provide you instructions to guide you along that straight path.

Unless you are on a large body of water, it will be unlikely that you will be able to follow

these instructions exactly. To compensate for that, your eXplorist automatically updates

the route, providing you with up-to-date information about getting to your destination.

GOTO routes are the simplest and most commonly used feature of your eXplorist 200. With

just the

GOTO button the eXplorist will provide you with the tools needed to get to any point of

interest stored in your database.

Saving Your Position

Another commonly used feature of the eXplorist is saving your position to the points of interest

database. This feature is accessed by pressing the

MARK button. When saving your position,

you can also add attributes such as the icon or a name for the point of interest. This will help

you to find this spot in the future when accessing it from the points of interest database.

Suppose that you have set up camp for the night. Tomorrow, you plan on doing some

nature exploring and you want to be able to come back to the campsite when you are

done. Press the

MARK button and set the name of the point of interest to “Camp”.

After your hiking is done, simply use the

GOTO button and select “Camp” from the list

My Points of Interest. It’s that simple to find your way back.

While out fishing on the lake, you come across the perfect spot for catching your limit.

Next year, you want to be able to come back to this same spot. Turn on your eXplorist;

and after it has computed your position, press the

MARK button to save it. This time

you can enter the name “Catfish1” and save your point of interest. Next year, you can

be back at the same hot spot with just a press of the GOTO button.
