Magellan eXplorist 500 - Manual (Page 42)

The POI Database
All of the POIs that you have saved and map POIs, can be accessed using the POI
database. Once the database has been accessed and the POI selected, you can view or
edit the POI.
Highlights of the POI database are:
• Searching for POIs you have saved, nearest to your position or in alphabetical order.
• Searching for POIs that have been preloaded into the eXplorist, nearest to your
position or in alphabetical order.
• Ability to edit POIs you have saved.
• Ability to delete POIs you have saved.
• Function letting you view a POI (ones you have saved or preloaded) on the map.
• Provides another means to save a preloaded POI as a user-entered POI.
• While viewing the list of POIs, the bearing and distance from your present position is
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
