eXplorist XL GPS File Structure
Using the Filing System with POIs
•
When retrieving or saving a POI, the eXplorist automatically saves the
POI to the default POI file. You can select the location to save the POI,
by choosing Save As when creating a file.
NOTE: The default file is set at the factory but you can change the default file to
be used by accessing Preferences > Active Setup.
•
Creating a new POI File: If you want to save the POI to a unique file,
perhaps a file devoted to this trip, Use the Arrow joystick to highlight
New POI File and press ENTER. Use the displayed keyboard to enter a
name for the file. When the name is correct, highlight OK and press
ENTER. The POI you are saving will automatically be stored in the new
file and you will be returned to the last viewed Map screen.
•
Creating new Folders: You can also create new folders for your POI files to be saved in. Use the Arrow
joystick to highlight New Folder and press ENTER.
Use the displayed keyboard to enter a name for the folder. When the name is correct, highlight OK and
press ENTER. The new folder is now highlighted. Press ENTER to access this folder. Since there isn't
any POI files in this folder, you will need to use the New POI File option to create a new file before
you can add any POIs.
