The Magellan eXplorist 100 is a hand-held GPS system designed to assist you in all of your outdoor explorations. The eXplorist 100 calculates your position using GPS satellites orbiting the Earth. For the best results, give your GPS unit a good view of the sky. Keep the antenna clear and unobstructed. The easiest method of getting directions to a single point is to create a "GOTO" route by pressing the "GOTO" button and selecting your destination from a points-of-interest database. The route is the straightest line from your current position to your destination, so your GPS is constantly updating the route as you travel to account for deviations in the path.
Instructions
Saving Your Position to the Database
1. Press "Mark."
2. Type in a name for your current location to easily find it in the points-of-interest database. For example, if you're camping and have set up your tent, you can name that location "Tent."
3. Tap on the "GOTO" button when you're ready to return to the location you set. Select its name from the "My Points of Interest" list.
Resetting the Trip Odometer
4. Tap "Menu" while on the Position screen.
5. Highlight "Reset Trip" by using the arrow joystick to scroll through the options. Tap on "Enter."
6. Highlight "Yes" when asked "Reset Trip to 0000." Tap on "Enter." The odometer is now reset.
Searching for a Point of Interest
7. Tap on "Menu."
8. Highlight "My Points of Interest" using the arrow joystick, then press "Enter." Select either "Nearest" or "Alphabetical." Tap "Enter."
9. Scroll through the options and highlight the point of interest you select.
Creating A Backtrack Route
10. Tap on "Menu." Highlight "Track log" by using the arrow joystick. Press "Enter."
11. Highlight "Active Track," and then tap on "Menu."
12. Highlight "Backtrack," and then tap "Enter." Press "Enter" once more to confirm. The eXplorist will create a route back to your starting point.
