Steps through the navigation screens. Used to save your present position as a point of interest.
Points of interest that you save are stored in the My Points of Interest portion of the database. Creates a one-leg route from your present position to a destination selected from the Points of Interest database or by using the cursor on the background map.
The eXplorist uses two AA batteries that are installed as shown in the accompanying diagram. Be sure to observe the proper polarity when installing the batteries. Under normal operating conditions you can expect to get more than 14 hours of battery life when using fresh batteries. Whether you are moving or standing still, the eXplorist is constantly calculating position fixes and using power at the same rate. If you are going to be at the same position for any length of time, turn the eXplorist off.
The Power Timer option allows you to set a time that the eXplorist will automatically turn off when none of the buttons have been pressed and you are not moving for a selected time.
You can select from 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes. The most severe drain on the batteries is the use of the display backlight. You will notice a drastic drop in battery life with the backlight display on continuously.
You should use the Light Timer to set a time interval that the display backlight will automatically turn off when none of the buttons have been pressed.
Press NAV to return to the last viewed navigation screen. Use the down arrow to highlight the Light Timer field. The eXplorist uses information from the GPS satellites orbiting the earth to provide you with detailed information about your exact location. This is the foundation that your eXplorist will use to provide you with the necessary information to arrive at your destination.
The simplest route, and the one used most, is a GOTO route. This is a route that is computed as a straight line from where you are to where you want to go. The basic operation of your eXplorist is to use the GPS satellites to compute your present position. This is done internally in the software of your eXplorist. The only thing that you need to do is to give your eXplorist a clear view of the sky so that it can receive the signals from the satellites.
If you find that the eXplorist is not computing a position, just move to a place that has a better view of the sky. Anytime that you want to view the status of the satellites and their signal strength, switch to the Satellite Status screen. Here, you will graphically see the satellites and their relative signal strength.
You need at least three satellites with good signal strength indicated by black bars to compute your position. A computed position with only three satellites is termed a 2D position fix.
When you are getting a 2D position fix, your elevation is not being computed. To add elevation to your position fix, you need at least four satellites with good signal strength.
Positions that use four or more satellites are called 3D position fixes. Now that the eXplorist knows where you are, you need to tell it where you want to go. This is a one-leg route with a beginning where you are now and a destination where you want to go. The destination is selected by using the Points of Interest database. This database has two main options: positions you have saved My Points of Interest or points of interest that have been preloaded into your eXplorist Background Map.
As you move, your eXplorist is constantly calculating new positions, comparing the new position to the previous position and calculating such things as heading and speed. Your eXplorist constantly computes a direct line from your present position to your destination.
From there, it will provide you instructions to guide you along that straight path. Unless you are on a large body of water, it will be unlikely that you will be able to follow these instructions exactly. To compensate for that, your eXplorist automatically updates the route, providing you with up-to-date information about getting to your destination.
GOTO routes are the simplest and most commonly used feature of your eXplorist With just the GOTO button the eXplorist will provide you with the tools needed to get to any point of interest stored in your database.
Another commonly used feature of the eXplorist is saving your position to the points of interest database. This feature is accessed by pressing the MARK button. When saving your position, you can also add attributes such as the icon or a name for the point of interest.
This will help you to find this spot in the future when accessing it from the points of interest database. Suppose that you have set up camp for the night. Tomorrow, you plan on doing some nature exploring and you want to be able to come back to the campsite when you are done. While out fishing on the lake, you come across the perfect spot for catching your limit.
Next year, you want to be able to come back to this same spot. Next year, you can be back at the same hot spot with just a press of the GOTO button. A simpler example, and one you can do at just about any time, is finding your car in that ocean of other cars in the shopping mall parking lot. Just park your car, step outside and let your eXplorist compute your position.
Make sure that you have a clear view of the sky. No matter where you parked, your eXplorist will guide you back, simply and easily. Hikers, mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts often need the option of leaving a trail of breadcrumbs that they can follow back to where they started.
The eXplorist has a feature called BackTrack that enables you to do just that. It was mentioned earlier that your eXplorist is constantly computing your present position and that you can save your position by using the MARK button.
Now, imagine that your eXplorist automatically saved your computed positions as you moved along the trail. Pretty soon there would be a set of saved positions, like breadcrumbs, that represents the trail you have taken.
This is exactly what the eXplorist does. It saves the computed positions as hidden points of interest and strings them together to represent your travels. This is called your Track, and the hidden points of interest are your Track Log. Your eXplorist enables you to use this Track, reverse it and navigate you along the same path that you followed to get you back to your destination. You might drive to the ranger station and follow the trail that leads you to the waterfalls you have been wanting to see.
With your eXplorist turned on and able to compute position fixes, you continue along the trail. The trail winds along and has many smaller trails attached to it. As the day progresses you arrive at the falls. Your eXplorist will now seamlessly guide you along the path, tracing your footsteps, back to where you started. Another nice feature of Track Logs, which you may find useful, is that you are able to save the Track Logs and recall them at any time. In the above example, at the waterfall, you could save that track and use it anytime you wanted to go back.
Your Magellan eXplorist contains all of the features that you would expect from a high-quality Magellan-brand handheld navigation device, as well as many more to make your outdoor experience more enjoyable. You have the ability to customize the navigation screens, enabling you to view the information that is important to you. The eXplorist makes full use of the Map screens, enabling you to graphically see your position, the route you are navigating, the path you have trekked Track , and points of interest icons.
There is a builtin odometer so that you can log the length of your journey. User preferences enable you to set up and maintain your eXplorist so that it fits your needs and requirements. The eXplorist gives you all of this and more in an easy-to-use, portable navigation tool that includes built-in help files that you can access in the great outdoors. To prevent the eXplorist from being turned on accidentally, draining the batteries, you need to press ENTER when the Startup screen is displayed.
If you change your mind and decide to leave the eXplorist on, just press the ESC button. The display backlight has three levels of intensity: off, low and high. When the eXplorist is first turned on, the display backlight is off.
Turn the eXplorist on. Press the Power button. When the Startup screen is displayed, press. Select Language. When you turn on the eXplorist for the first time, you are given the option of selecting one of the ten languages that can be used.
Press MENU. The Language Select screen will be displayed. Magellan has been very scant with firmware updates on this product line. As mentioned above, 2. Some U. There have been attempts to correlate success with serial numbers, but the results are inconclusive. Between the guarantee that WAAS will no longer work, the reality that the newest firmware isn't available for products sold into all countries, and the oddities of some units rejecting or even "bricking" during a firmware update, it's difficult to recommend the process.
Firmware 1.
