The instructions here describe the most common, and easiest way to create a GOTO route.
1. Press GOTO.
2. Use the POI database to select the POI to be the destination.
Note: Detailed instructions for searching the POI database can be found in the
Points of Interest section of this manual.
3. With the POI highlighted, press ENTER.
4. If you already have a GOTO you will be asked to confirm the creation of
this GOTO.
After pressing ENTER, the last viewed navigation screen will be displayed,
updated as needed to provide information about the GOTO route you have
created. On the Map screen, a line will be drawn representing the GOTO route.
The Compass screen will change to display the name of the POI used as the
destination in the screen header bar and an icon representing the destination
outside the diameter of the compass.
As you are moving you will notice a second line appearing that points to your
destination if you go off the planned course. The double solid line is the original,
computed route. The new, dashed line is an updated route, pointing towards your destination. So even if you
can’t follow the computed route, you will be updated with a new course to follow. This updating of your route
will also occur during multi-leg routes so you always know which way you need to go.
This will create a GOTO route to a point on the map that you have indicated by moving the crosshair cursor on
the Map screen.
1. While viewing the Map screen, use the Arrow joystick causing the eXplorist to go into Cursor mode.
2. Continue using the Arrow joystick to move the crosshair cursor to a point on the map that represents
where you want to go to.
3. Press GOTO.
4. If a GOTO is active, you will be asked to deactivate it and create a new GOTO route. Highlight Yes and
press ENTER to overwrite the existing GOTO. You are then asked if you want to create a new GOTO
route. Highlight Yes and press ENTER.
5. Confirm that you want to create a GOTO from the current cursor position. Highlight Yes.
(If you highlight No and press ENTER, the eXplorist assumes that you still want to create a GOTO, just
not to the current cursor position. The POI database screen will be displayed so you can search the
database for the POI you want to use as the destination.)
6. Press ENTER.
After pressing ENTER, the last viewed navigation screen will be displayed, updated as needed to provide
information about the GOTO route you have created. On the Map screen, a line will be drawn representing the
GOTO route. The Compass screen will change to display the name of the POI used as the destination in the
screen header bar and an icon representing the destination outside the compass diameter.
