Please do not try to change any settings on the Magellan® eXploristTM while driving. Come to a complete stop or have a passenger make any changes. Taking your eyes off the road is dangerous and can result in an accident in which you or others could be injured. USE GOOD JUDGMENT This product is an excellent navigation aid, but it does not replace the need for careful orienteering and good judgment. Never rely solely on one device for navigating. USE CARE The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U. S. [. . . ] Use the Arrow joystick to highlight My Pts of Interest. Use the Arrow joystick to select Nearest or Alphabetical. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the POI to be viewed. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight View on Plotter. The Plotter screen will be displayed in the Cursor mode. The cursor will be directly over the POI you have selected. You may use the Zoom buttons to change the scale of the plotter displayed; and if your position icon is within range, it will be shown. Press ESC to return to the list of POIs found in step 7. Note: Remember that pressing the NAV button will return you to the last viewed Plotter screen. In step 11 if you are finished with the POIs in the POI database, you could press NAV to close the POI database and return to the last viewed Plotter screen. Routes Routes are the least understood and one of the most important functions of a GPS receiver. The better you understand routes and how to use them, the more enjoyment you will receive from using your eXplorist. The simpliest and most common form of a route is a GOTO route. A GOTO route is a one-leg route with a starting point (your present position) and a destination (a POI you select). This route is useful when you want to go to a POI you have saved. 32 The next type of a route is a multi-leg route. The easiest way to understand multi-leg routes is to know that they are GOTO routes stuck together. If a GOTO route is from A to B then a multi-leg route goes from A to B, B to C, C to D, and so on. (Using the term multi-leg is somewhat misleading because it can be a single-leg route; but these types of routes are rarely used as a one-leg routes, a GOTO route would be used instead. ) An advantage of a multi-leg route is that it can be saved in the eXplorist's memory to be activated and used over and over. A third type of route is a backtrack route. (The creation of backtrack routes is not described in this section of the manual because these routes are part of the Track Log functions of the eXplorist. ) As you travel the eXplorist records your track. Creating a backtrack route uses this track information and creates a multi-leg route, in reverse order, enabling you to navigate back to where you started. GOTO Routes A GOTO route is the most commonly used form of a route in your eXplorist. The creation of a GOTO route is no harder than pressing the GOTO button and searching in the POI database for the destination POI. Features of a GOTO route: · A straight line from your present position to a selected POI.
