Using the Filing System with POIs
•
When retrieving or saving a POI, the eXplorist automatically
goes to the default POI file where the POI will be found or
saved.
NOTE: The default file is set at the factory but you can
change the default file to be used by accessing Preferences
> Active Setup.
•
If the default file is the desired location, press ENTER and
a list of POIs in the file are displayed or the POI will be
saved to that file.
•
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.
Using the Filing System with Routes
•
When retrieving or saving a route, the eXplorist
automatically goes to the default route file where the route
will be found or saved.
NOTE: Once you have created a new route file, you can set
it to be the default route by accessing Preferences > Active
Setup.
•
Creating a new Route File: Exit the file you have open by
using the
Up One Level option. Use the Arrow joystick to
highlight
New Route File and press ENTER.
Use the displayed keyboard to enter a name for the route
file. When the name is correct, highlight
OK and press
ENTER. The new route file is displayed and highlighted, ready for you to save a
route in it.
