The Preferences portion of the eXplorist provides the tools to
personalize the eXplorist to your usage and needs. There are
tools that are designed to give you full flexibility over its use,
as well as to perform maintenance on the internal memory
should the need arise.

approximate location if it has been moved a large
distance while turned off.
• A way of setting default folders for saving POI’s, routes,
etc.
• Access to setting the units of measure for information
displayed.

the coordinate information can be chosen.
• Full control over the built-in power-management tools to assist in prolonging battery
life.
• Personalize your eXplorist.
• Choose from ten different languages that can be used to display information.
• Access to tools that will provide you with the means to clear all or part of the internal
memory.

near your destination, and other useful alerts.
