Magellan eXplorist 500 - Manual (Page 24)

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 provides you with the heading and distance of the cursor
from your present position. In the Cursor mode you can:
• scroll around the map, checking 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
• get detailed information about POIs or map objects found at the
cursor location
These options will be explained in the section of this manual on creating POIs 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.
