This is a sample of the My POls folder.
The first item, Up One Level, is used to move
arou nd the fi Ie hierarchy.
The second item, New Folder, provides you
the tool to add a new folder at this level.
New POI File is used to create a new ASCII
text fi Ie to save your POI's too. In the sample shown here,
Yosemite is a new POI file that was created for this sample to
save POI's created while hiking through Yosemite National
Park.
The last item, Default POI File, is the default ASCII text file
where POI's you save are stored. This is the file that is
provided as a default to save POI's in until you have created
your own POI file.
This sample displays what is shown when you
access the default POI file. There is an Up
One Level item that is again used to move
around the fi Ie hierarchy. Below that is a
listing of all the files that have been stored in
this POI ASCII file.
ASCII Text Data Files
An advanced feature of savi ng data in ASC II text fi les is that
it provides another means of utilizing and modifying data that
you have recorded. Usi ng an external card reader or by
connecting your eXplorist to your personal computer, you can
now access the fi les that you have saved. All of the
information is there to be used as you need or modified with
a simple text editor like Notepad. Keep in mind that
modifying some of the information may cause the POI to be
unusable or have unexpected results.
