The eXplorist has a file structure system that is unlike any other filing system used before on
a GPS receiver. It is based on the file system that you are probably familiar with from using
your personal computer.
File Structure Overview
This graphic displays the basic
layout of the file structure that
is internal to the eXplorist.
When you insert a new SD
card, a similar file structure is
created but without any of the
default files.
While it is possible to save
files in any of the folders (i.e.,
POls could be saved in the
Routes folder), it is highly
recommended that you create
new files in the associated
main topic folder. This will
make finding the POlar route
much easier when you need to
access the fi Ie.
The Detail Maps and
Geocaches folders are empty
until you upload a detailed
map from mapping software,
such as Magellan MapSend or
geocache fi les from the
Magellan Geocaching software.
The files for POls, routes,
track logs and geocaching
points are ASCII text files.
When your eXplorist or SD card
is connected to your personal
computer, you can open these
files using any text editor and
modify them to your needs. If
you are going to modify any of
the fi les, you should do so to a
copy of the fi Ie. Mistakes in
modifying the files can cause
unwanted results.
