The POI database is the place where your saved positions (“My
Pts of Interest”) or any preloaded positions are stored for easy
access when creating a GOTO or multileg route.
NOTE: Not all versions of the eXplorist GPS receivers contain
preloaded POI’s. If your eXplorist does not have any preloaded
POI’s you will need to add user points of interest before you can
create a GOTO or a multileg route.
Accessing the POI Database
From any screen, press Menu. Use the
joystick to highlight “Pts of Interest” and press
Enter.
If your eXplorist receiver has preloaded
POI’s: With preloaded POI’s you get a list of
topics to choose from. If you select “My Pts of
Interest” a list of all the POI’s you have saved are
displayed in the order you defined. If you
highlight one of the displayed POI’s and press
Menu, you will have the option of editing or
deleting the POI. (Shortcut: pressing
Enter with the POI
highlighted goes into the edit mode.)
From “Background Map,” you will be given a list of topics, such
as cities, highways, airports, waterways and parks. After selecting
one of these topics, a keyboard is displayed if alphabetical listing
is chosen. As the list of POI’s in the database can be enormous,
you can use the keyboard to enter the first few characters in the
POI you are looking for when doing an alphabetical search. With
the first few characters entered, highlight “OK” and press
Enter. This will speed up the search for the POI you are seeking.
When you have the POI selected, pressing
Enter brings up
information about that POI. You can also save it as one of your
user POI’s or view it on the Map screen.
