Magellan eXplorist Basic User Manual page 8

The eXplorist stores data (POls, routes, track logs, etc.) as
ASCII text files to either an SO card or to its internal memory.
Files saved internally or to an SO card can be opened and
viewed on a personal computer providing you added flexibility
in modifying and storing data to be used in your eXplorist.
Whenever you save a POI, route or track log or if you are
creating a GOTD or a multileg route, you need to tell the
eXplorist where you want the file saved or retrieved from.
This is done through the internal browser in the eXplorist.

The eXplorist uses
(and creates
automatically on an
SO card) a basic fi Ie
structu re with
default folders for
storing the data.
You have the
opportun ity of
creating your own folders and new ASCII data files. Those
items are covered in greater depth in the Reference User
Guide.
When you save or retrieve a fi Ie you wi II be taken to either the
defau It folder and data fi Ie for fi les of that type or the defau It
folder and data file that you assign in Preferences> Active
Setup.
Points to Remember:
• All data is saved in files
• POI and route files can contain multiple items; track
log files contain only one item.
• You can create new folders and new files to better
organ ize your data.
