Your eXplorist receiver comes with preloaded POI’s for a variety
of areas. However, you will find that you will want to add your
own POI’s to the database. POI’s that you save are accessed from
the “My Pts of Interest” option of the databas

Saving Your Present Position

From any screen, press

Mark.

Highlight Save and press

Enter when done. You then just

need to select or create the data file you want this saved
position saved to.

Some examples of POI’s you might want to save would be your
campsite, a special landmark that you want to visit again at a
future date, fishing hotspots, even your car to help you find it
when your day is done. Anytime you think you might want to
come back to your current location, you should save it to your POI
database and then it will be at your fingertips the next time you
want to return.

You can change the

information in any of

the fields by using

the joystick to

highlight the field
and press

Enter.

You might be familiar with the more common navigation

term of “waypoint” for My Pts of Interest. Waypoints and

My Pts of Interest are exactly the same and the terminology

is interchangeable
