The simpliest and most common form of a route is a GOTO route. Press GOTO. Note: Detailed instructions for searching the POI database can be found in the Points of Interest section of this manual. While viewing the Map screen, use the Arrow joystick, causing the eXplorist to go into Cursor mode.
An example would be leaving the dock, motoring over to buoy 1, then the bait boat, and finally to a fishing hot spot. You will be returned to the last viewed navigation screen with the route chosen activated or deactivated.
If during your travels you want to skip some of the legs, you can select the leg that you want to proceed to next. When you have 20 routes saved, you will need to delete one before you can create a new one. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Routes. Page Copying A Route Routes Copying a Route Copying a route makes an exact duplicate of a route that can then be edited, saving you time in creating a new route that is similar to an existing route.
Another use would be to copy a route and reverse it. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Track Log. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Active Track.
This does not erase your presently active route; only saves the current active track and adds it to the list of available track logs. Page Creating A Backtrack Route Track Logs Creating a BackTrack Route BackTrack routes use your active track to create a route back to where you started, turning around and following the electronic breadcrumb trail that the eXplorist dropped.
It is recommended that if you plan to use BackTrack or to save the upcoming track log that you should clear the active track before beginning your journey. From here, the route can be edited if necessary. Note: Convert to Route is available for both active track logs and track logs you have saved. This gives you the opportunity to graphically view the track log. Note: View on Map is available for both active track logs and track logs you have saved.
There are three functions unique to saved track logs that you can perform: following, reversing, and deleting the track. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight any track log you have previously saved. Page Preferences Preferences The Preferences portion of the eXplorist provides the tools to personalize the eXplorist to your usage and needs. There are tools that are designed to give you full flexibility over its use, as well as to perform maintanence on the internal memory should the need arise.
Long time GPS receiver users will know this option as initializing. To understand when you would use this option, a brief explanation of how the eXplorist works will be helpful. Page 67 Preferences Region. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the region of the world for your present location. You can also enter the coordinates for your present position, if you know them, by highlighting Enter Coord. This is rarely used and is not described in this manual. Page Setting The Map Units Preferences Setting the Map Units In the Map Units option of Preferences you can select which units of measure for navigation data, the north reference, the coordinate system, and the map datum that will be used by the eXplorist.
Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Preferences. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Map Units. Experienced navigators will want to select a coordinate system that matches the maps or charts they are using. Page Selecting The Map Datum Preferences Selecting the Map Datum When using the eXplorist in conjunction with a map or chart, you should make sure that the map datum in the eXplorist matches the map datum that the map or chart uses.
This can usually be found in the legend block on the map or chart. The default map datum for the eXplorist is WGS84 and should be used when in doubt. Page Using The Power Management Tool Preferences Using the Power Management Tool When you are out in the field or on the water, extending the life of the batteries in your eXplorist should be something that you are mindful of.
Two areas that you can control to extend the battery life are turning the eXplorist off when not in use and setting how long the display backlight will be on. Page Setting The Light Timer Preferences Setting the Light Timer As has been mentioned before, the display backlight makes the display easier to read in low- light situations, but it also is the largest drain on the batteries.
The Light Timer function provides you with the selection of how long you want the backlight to remain on while no buttons have been pressed. Page Personalizing The Explorist Preferences Personalizing the eXplorist This function provides a way to input information about yourself that could be used to return your eXplorist should you happen to lose it. The name you enter in the Name field will be displayed on the About screen.

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 position 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. 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.
Your Magellan eXplorist contains all of the features that you would expect from a high-quality Magellan-brand handheld navigation device, as well as many more to make your outdoor experience more enjoyable.
You have the ability to customize the navigation screens, enabling you to view the information that is important to you. The eXplorist makes full use of the Map screens, enabling you to graphically see your position, the route you are navigating, the path you have trekked Track , and points of interest icons.
There is a builtin odometer so that you can log the length of your journey. User preferences enable you to set up and maintain your eXplorist so that it fits your needs and requirements. The eXplorist gives you all of this and more in an easy-to-use, portable navigation tool that includes built-in help files that you can access in the great outdoors. To prevent the eXplorist from being turned on accidentally, draining the batteries, you need to press ENTER when the Startup screen is displayed.
If you change your mind and decide to leave the eXplorist on, just press the ESC button. The display backlight has three levels of intensity: off, low and high. When the eXplorist is first turned on, the display backlight is off. Turn the eXplorist on. Press the Power button. When the Startup screen is displayed, press. Select Language. When you turn on the eXplorist for the first time, you are given the option of selecting one of the ten languages that can be used.
Press MENU. The Language Select screen will be displayed. Read Warning. Compute Initial Position. For this operation, it is best if you are outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, this will take much longer and could result in the eXplorist being unable to compute the initial position.
The eXplorist begins to compute your initial position. This may take a few minutes while it is doing a cold start. Normally, when you first turn the eXplorist on it will compute your position in a matter of seconds when able to do a warm start. An explanation of cold start vs. The Satellite Status screen is displayed, showing you the progress of the collection of satellite data. Satellite Status screen shows how many satellites are being tracked, as well as the relative strength of the signal.
The Satellite Status screen will continuously update, and you will be able to graphically see how well your eXplorist is performing. When the eXplorist has enough information to compute a position fix, the Satellite Status screen is replaced with the Map screen. The arrow cursor in the center of the Map screen represents your position. As you move, the arrow will point in the direction you are traveling.
If the eXplorist is unable to compute your initial fix in a few minutes: If the eXplorist determines that it is unable to track the satellites within a few minutes, it will present you with the following screens in an effort to better determine its. Select Region. Use the arrow joystick to highlight the region that. Select Area. This displays a list of areas for the region you selected. Enter Current Time. Use the arrow joystick to enter the current time.
Arrow Joystick Right: Moves the highlight one character to the right Arrow Joystick Left: Moves the highlight one character to the left. Enter the Date. Use the Arrow joystick to set the date displayed to the current date. When the month is highlighted, use the arrow joystick up or down to scroll through the list of months. Accept Information. The Done button is highlighted at the bottom of the display.
Tip: If the time or the date is incorrect, you can fix it now. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the time or the date field that you want to change. You can now change the information using the same technique used before. The Satellite Status screen is displayed again and the eXplorist will try to compute your position using the information you just provided. Tip: If you notice that the satellite signal-strength bars are still not changing, try moving to a new location where you have a clearer view of the sky.
As before, when the eXplorist computes the initial position, the Map screen will be displayed, with your computed position indicated by the arrow cursor in the middle of the display. Cold vs. Warm Start. When the eXplorist is turned on, one of the first things it does is to find out which satellites are overhead, along with their relative position. It does this by using a built-in satellite almanac. This almanac, when given the current date, time and approximate position, can provide the eXplorist with information on which satellites are overhead and their approximate relationship to the eXplorist.
Now with information on satellite availability, the eXplorist can begin setting its internal satellite channels to receive satellite transmissions.
Cold Start. Cold start is defined as when the eXplorist does not have an approximate position to use when referring to its almanac.
This can occur when:. The memory is cleared prior to shipping so that any position that may have been in the eXplorist is set to a null value. As a rule of thumb, any time you move for more than mi [ A cold start should take no more than minutes to compute the initial position fix. Warm starts are when the last position calculated before the eXplorist was turned off is still in memory and you are in the same approximate position. Most of the time that the eXplorist is turned on, it will be in its warmstart mode.
With a clear view of the sky, the eXplorist should compute its position in a matter of seconds. This concludes the initial startup procedure for the Magellan eXplorist Once the Map screen is displayed, you have successfully initialized the eXplorist and are ready to go. Now would be a good time to familiarize yourself with the different navigation screens using the NAV button and to set any preferences that may be different from the factory defaults.
The eXplorist has three navigation screens, as well as a Satellite Status screen that can be accessed by pressing the NAV button. Each screen provides the same information in a different format, giving you the choice of choosing the screen that best suits your needs.
The first, and most commonly used, screen is the Map screen. The Map screen displays your position, as well as POIs and any background map data for the area displayed. The arrow cursor changes to a crosshair cursor, with any available information about the position of the cursor at the bottom of the display. Hourglass used when position is unknown and eXplorist is trying to compute the position. Press the Zoom In or the Zoom Out buttons to change how much of the map is displayed on the screen.
The map scale indicator in the bottom left corner of the map indicates the relative distance between the two end-points of the scale. The scale can be changed from mi km to ft The Map screen has two modes that it can be in: position or cursor. In the Position mode the Map screen displays your position, indicated by the arrow icon in the center of the map. The arrow not only displays your position but also,. The Position mode is the default mode for the Map screen. Whenever you enter the Map screen it will be in the Position.
In the Cursor mode, you have a cursor icon displayed that you can use to pan around the map. The information displayed at the bottom of the screen provides you with the heading and distance of the cursor from your present position. In the Cursor mode you can:. To enter the Cursor mode, use the Arrow joystick to move the cursor. As soon as the joystick is moved, a crosshair cursor is displayed and the bottom of the screen changes to provide information about the cursor position.
To exit the cursor mode, press the ESC button. When pressed, the Map screen is returned to the Position mode, with your present position displayed in the center of the screen. The information at the bottom of the Map screen provides you with information that can be used to assist you in navigating to your destination. However, you may want to display more of the map and may not need this information.
The eXplorist gives you the capability to turn this information on or off. The information displayed at the bottom of the screen can be customized to change what is shown in the two map information fields. You can select from:. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Customize page. The title bar for one of the fields is highlighted. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the title bar for the field you want to customize.

When the information to be displayed is chosen, press ESC to exit the customize function. The default orientation for the Map screen is North Up. This means that the top of the display represents true north.
This orientation can be changed so that the top of the display is more useful to you. You can choose from:. This orientates the top of the map display to represent true north. In course up, the top of the map displays the direction to your destination.
When there is not an active route, the top of the display indicates true north. In track up, the top of the map display changes to reflect your heading.
If you are not moving, the top of the display indicates true north. Note: In Course Up and Track Up, a north indicator is displayed in the upper right corner of the display. This arrow points in the direction of true north. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Map Setup. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the Orientation field. Press MAP to return to the Map screen. The Map screen can be changed to be primarily used on land default or marine.
