The eXplorist comes with a basemap already installed but you may use MapSend Worldwide software
(purchased separately) to define your own basemap. You can use Active Setup to select the background map
you want to use if you have stored a new one.
Also, you can use one of the other MapSend software packages to define and save detailed maps to your
eXplorist. These detailed maps can provide more detailed street information, additional POIs, and if using on
of the MapSend topographic software packages, topo details. You can use Active Setup to select the detail
map you want to use if you have one saved.
