The eXplorist GPS receiver is a handheld personal navigation
device that uses information from a constellation of GPS satellites
to compute your present position. It uses changes in your present
position to compute various navigation data, such as speed,
heading, etc. In its simplest form, you select a destination from
the list of POI’s (Points of Interest) and the eXplorist receiver will
provide you with the information to arrive at your destination.
