You can use your eXplorist receiver to go to (“GOTO”) any
destination in your POI database. This can be one of the POI’s
that was preloaded in your eXplorist receiver, a geocaching point

keeping you headed towards your destination.

will continuously record your track. Track is then a history of
everywhere you have gone. At anytime you want to reverse your
direction and head back to where you started, you can create a
