Using the eXplorist 210
12
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 com-
puted positions as you moved along the trail. Pretty soon there would be a set of saved positions, like bread-
crumbs, 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.
What your eXplorist enables you to do, is to use this Track, reverse it and navigate you along the same path 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 and as the day progresses you arrive at the falls.
When it’s time to head back to your car, you access your Track Logs list and select the Active Track log. Now
press MENU, highlight BackTrack and press ENTER. Your eXplorist will now seamlessly guide you along the
path, tracing your footsteps, back to where you started.
Another nice feature of Track Logs that you may find useful, is that you are able to save the Track Logs and
recall them at any time. In the above example, when you were at the waterfall, you could save that track and
use it anytime you wanted to go back again.
Your Magellan eXplorist contains all the features 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 on, the path that you have trekked (Track), as well as
points of interest icons. There is a built-in odometer so you can log the
length of your journey. User preferences enable you to set up and main-
tain 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 navi-
gation tool that includes built-in help files that you can access in the
great outdoors.
