Showing Or Hiding Map Information - Magellan eXplorist XL Reference Manual

Navigation Screens
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 provide
you with the heading and distance the cursor is at from your present position. In
the Cursor mode you can:
• scroll around the map, seeing available information for areas on the map
not displayed around your present position,
• create a POI for the position indicated by the cursor,
• create a GOTO route to the position indicated by the cursor location, or
• get detailed information about POI's or map objects found at the cursor
location.
These options will be explained in the section of this manual on creating POI's
and GOTO routes.
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.
