A simpler example, and one you can do at just about any time, is finding your car in that

ocean of other cars in the shopping mall parking lot. Just park your car, step outside and

let your eXplorist compute your position. (Make sure that you have a clear view of the

sky.) Using the

MARK button, save this position with the name “Car”. When you are

done shopping, just go outside the mall and create a GOTO with the destination “Car”.

No matter where you parked, your eXplorist will guide you back, simply and easily.

Tracing Your Steps

Hikers, mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts often need the option of leaving a trail of

breadcrumbs that they can follow back to where they started. The eXplorist has a feature

called

BackTrack that enables you to do just that.

It was mentioned earlier that your eXplorist is constantly computing your present position and

that you can save your position by using the

MARK button. Now, imagine that your eXplorist

automatically saved your computed positions as you moved along the trail. Pretty soon there

would be a set of saved positions, like breadcrumbs, that represents the trail you have taken.

This is exactly what the eXplorist does. It saves the computed positions as hidden points of

interest and strings them together to represent your travels. This is called your

Track, and the

hidden points of interest are your

Track Log.

Your eXplorist enables you to use this Track, reverse it and navigate you along the same path

that you followed to get you back to your destination.

You might drive to the ranger station and follow the trail that leads you to the waterfalls

you have been wanting to see. With your eXplorist turned on and able to compute posi-

tion fixes, you continue along the trail. The trail winds along and has many smaller

trails attached to it. As the day progresses you arrive at the falls. When it’s time to

head back to your car, you access your Track Logs list and select the

Active Track log.

Now, press MENU, highlight BackTrack and press ENTER. Your eXplorist will now

seamlessly guide you along the path, tracing your footsteps, back to where you started.

Another nice feature of Track Logs, which you may find useful, is that you are able to

save the Track Logs and recall them at any time. In the above example, at the waterfall,

you could save that track and use it anytime you wanted to go back.
