The eXplorist has a file structure system that is unlike any other filing system used before on a GPS receiver.
It is based on the file system that you are probably familiar with from using your personal computer.
This graphic displays the basic layout of
the file structure that is internal to the
eXplorist.
While it is possible to save files in any of
the folders (i.e., POIs could be saved in
the Routes folder), it is highly
recommended that you create new files in
the associated main topic folder. This will
make finding the POI or route much easier
when you need to access the file.
The Detail Maps and Geocaches folders
are empty until you upload a detailed map
from mapping software, such as Magellan
MapSend or geocache files from the
Magellan Geocaching software.
The files for POIs, routes, track logs and
geocaching points are ASCII text files.
When your eXplorist is connected to your
personal computer, you can open these
files using any text editor and modify them
to your needs. If you are going to modify
any of the files, you should do so to a copy
of the file. Mistakes in modifying the files
can cause unwanted results.
