eXplorist 100 GPS Receiver 4 Installing the Batteries The eXplorist 100 uses two AA batteries that are installed as shown in the accompanying diagram. Be sure to observe the proper polarity when installing the batteries. Under normal operating conditions you can expect to get more than 14 hours of battery life when using fresh batteries.
5 The eXplorist 100 uses information from the GPS satellites orbiting the earth to provide you with detailed information about your exact location. This is the foundation that your eXplorist will use to provide you with the necessary information to arrive at your destination.
Step T wo: Where Do Y ou W ant T o Go? Now that the eXplorist knows where you are, you need to tell it where you want to go. There are many different ways you can do this, but the simplest and most commonly used is a “GOTO” route. This is a one-leg route with a beginning (where you are now) and a destination (where you want to go).
A simpler example, and one you can do at just about any time, is finding your car in that ocean of other cars in the shopping mall parking lot. Just park your car , step outside and let your eXplorist compute your position. (Make sure that you have a clear view of the sky .
Additional Features Y our Magellan eXplorist contains all of the features that you would expect from a high-quality Magellan-brand handheld navigation device, as well as many more to make your outdoor experience more enjoyable. Y ou have the ability to customize the navigation screens, enabling you to view the information that is important to you.

Enter Current T ime. Use the arrow joystick to enter the current time. Arrow Joystick Up: Increases the highlighted number Arrow Joystick Down: Decreases the highlighted number Arrow Joystick Right: M.
Cold vs. W arm Start. When the eXplorist is turned on, one of the first things it does is to find out which satellites are overhead, along with their relative position.
14 Accessing the Navigation Screens The eXplorist has three navigation screens, as well as a Satellite Status screen that can be accessed by pressing the NA V button. Each screen provides the same information in a different format, giving you the choice of choosing the screen that best suits your needs.
Plotter Screen Overview Changing Plotter Scale Press the Zoom In or the Zoom Out buttons to change how much of the usable plotter area is displayed on the screen. The plotter scale indicator in the bottom left corner of the plotter indicates the relative distance between the two end-points of the scale.
In the Cursor mode, you have a cursor icon displayed that you can use to pan around the plotter . The information displayed at the bottom of the screen provides you with the heading and distance of the cursor from your present position.
Customizing the Displayed Map Information The information displayed at the bottom of the screen can be customized to change what is shown in the two plotter information fields.
Changing the Plotter Orientation The default orientation for the Plotter screen is North Up. This means that the top of the display represents true north. This orientation can be changed so that the top of the display is more useful to you. Y ou can choose from: • North Up [default].

24 Whether driving in a car , hiking on the trail, or out for an afternoon sail, you are going to want to save places you’ve been in your eXplorist so that you can go back to them in the future. This is the fundamental starting point for any GPS navigator .
Points of Interest 25 Marking Y our Position (Personalized) Normally , marking your position is simply a two-button process: MARK and ENTER. However , sometimes you will want to personalize the POI you are marking to make it easier to identify later .
Making POIs for Locations Other Than Y our Present Position Sometimes, you may want to save a position that is not your present position. The eXplorist offers you two ways of doing that. Y ou can modify the coordinates of your present position or you can use the Cursor mode of the Plotter screen to pan to the location you want to mark.
Marking a Position using the Plotter Cursor This gives you a way of marking a position, other than your present position, by moving the cursor around the plotter to a place where you want to create a POI. 1. While viewing the Plotter screen, use the Arrow joystick to put the eXplorist into Cursor mode.
The POI Database All of the POIs that you have saved can be accessed using the POI database. Once the database has been accessed and the POI selected, you can view or edit the POI. Highlights of the POI database are: • Searching for POIs you have saved, nearest to your position or in alphabetical order .
Editing a POI POIs that you have saved can be edited to change the icon, name, elevation and message. Y ou can also change the location, but keep in mind that this effectively is creating a new POI in a new location. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Pts of Interest .
Deleting a POI POIs that you have saved can be deleted using this operation. If you have created a lot of POIs, you may wish to delete any unneessary ones so that you may more easily search for a newly created POI. POIs that have been deleted cannot be restored.
Points of Interest 31 V iewing a POI on the Plotter Screen POIs that you have saved can be viewed on the Plotter screen to assist you in locating the POI. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight My Pts of Interest . 3. Press ENTER . 4. Use the Arrow joystick to select Nearest or Alphabetical .
32 Routes are the least understood and one of the most important functions of a GPS receiver . The better you understand routes and how to use them, the more enjoyment you will receive from using your eXplorist. The simpliest and most common form of a route is a GOTO route.
Routes 33 Creating a GOTO Route The instructions here describe the most common and easiest way to create a GOTO route. 1. Press GOTO . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Nearest or Alphabetical . 3. Press ENTER 4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the POI you want to go to.
Creating a GOTO Route from the Plotter Cursor This will create a GOTO route to a point on the plotter that you have indicated by moving the crosshair cursor on the Plotter screen. 1. While viewing the Plotter screen, use the Arrow joystick, causing the eXplorist to go into Cursor mode.
Multi-Leg Routes Multi-leg routes can be used to navigate to a final destination using multiple legs. An example would be leaving the dock, motoring over to buoy 1, then the bait boat, and finally to a fishing hot spot. This route would go from Dock to Buoy 1,Buoy 1 to Bait, Bait to Fish.
Creating a Multi-leg Route The eXplorist will provide you with an empty list for your route, and you can use the POIs saved in the POI database to create the route. All the tools you’d need to create the route will be described here. Steps in creating a multi-leg route: 1.
Activating/Deactivating a Route An active route is the route you are presently navigating on. Anytime you activate a route, it will remain the active route until you either turn it off (deactivate) or activate a new route. GOTOs are automatically activated when they are created, while multi-leg routes need to be activated manually .
Changing the Destination Leg of an Active Route When a route is created it can have many different legs to it, each leg with its own destination. If during your travels you want to skip some of the legs, you can select the leg that you want to proceed to next.
Editing a Saved Route Saved routes can be edited to add a new leg at the end of the route ( <Add POI> ), remove a leg ( Delete POI ), insert a new leg ( Insert POI ), or change the destination from one POI to another ( Replace POI ). 1. Press MENU .
Reversing a Route Reversing a route takes a saved route and recreates it in reverse order . The sample route that was discussed earlier , Camp > Bridge > Marker > Ranger > Swim , would now be Swim > Ranger > Marker > Bridge > Camp.
Deleting a Route The eXplorist can hold up to 20 different routes. When you have 20 routes saved, you will need to delete one before you can create a new one. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Routes . 3. Press ENTER . 4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the name of the route you want to delete.
Routes 42 Copying a Route Copying a route makes an exact duplicate of a route that can then be edited, saving you time in creating a new route that is similar to an existing route. Another use would be to copy a route and reverse it. 1. Press MENU . 2.
Viewing a Route on the Plotter Viewing the route on the plotter gives you a way of graphically seeing the legs of the route as they appear on the plotter . 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Routes . 3. Press ENTER . 4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the name of the route you want to view .
44 As you are moving, the eXplorist continuously records your track. Much like leaving breadcrumbs on the trail that you can use later to find your way back, the eXplorist leaves “electronic breadcrumbs” on the map. The advantage here is that you don’t have to worry about animals coming along and eating your return route markers.
Stopping and Resuming Active T rack Logging This provides the ability to turn off the recording of the active track and then to starting it up again. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Track Log . 3. Press ENTER . 4. With Active T rack highlighted, press MENU .
T rack Logs 46 Starting a New Active T rack Log Before you can start a new active track log, you need to stop the one that is presently recording. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Track Log . 3. Press ENTER . 4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Active Track .
T rack Logs 47 Saving an Active T rack Log This will save your active track log with a name you enter that you can use at some time in the future. This does not erase your presently active route; only saves the current active track and adds it to the list of available track logs.
T rack Logs 48 Creating a BackT rack Route BackT rack routes use your active track to create a route back to where you started, turning around and following the electronic breadcrumb trail that the eXplorist dropped. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Track Log .
T rack Logs 49 Clearing the Active T rack The active track can get to be very large, especially if you haven’t cleared it in a while. It is recommended that if you plan to use BackT rack or to save the upcoming track log that you should clear the active track before beginning your journey .
Converting the T rack Log to a Route This function takes the track log and turns it into a multi-leg route that is saved in your route list. From here, the route can be edited if necessary . Note: Convert to Route is available for both active track logs and track logs you have saved.
T rack Logs 51 Viewing the T rack Log on the Plotter Selecting View on Map displays the track log chosen and plots it on the Plotter screen. This gives you the opportunity to graphically view the track log. Note: View on Map is available for both active track logs and track logs you have saved.
W orking with Saved T rack Logs It has been mentioned before that you can convert saved track logs to a route and view saved track logs on the plotter . There are three functions unique to saved track logs that you can perform: following, reversing, and deleting the track.
Deleting a Saved T rack Log Use this function to remove track logs that have been previously saved and are no longer needed. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Track Log . 3. Press ENTER . 4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight any track log you have previously saved.
54 The Preferences portion of the eXplorist provides the tools to personalize the eXplorist to your usage and needs. There are tools that are designed to give you full flexibility over its use, as well as to perform maintanence on the internal memory should the need arise.
Restarting the GPS Restarting the GPS provides a means of giving the eXplorist information about its approximate position. Long time GPS receiver users will know this option as initializing. T o understand when you would use this option, a brief explanation of how the eXplorist works will be helpful.
Preferences 56 6. Region. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the region of the world for your present location. Y ou can also enter the coordinates for your present position, if you know them, by highlighting Enter Coord . This is rarely used and is not described in this manual.
Preferences 57 Setting the Map Units In the Map Units option of Preferences you can select which units of measure for navigation data, the north reference, the coordinate system, and the map datum that will be used by the eXplorist.
Preferences 58 Selecting the North Reference Y ou can set the north reference used by the eXplorist to be either magnetic north or T rue North. 1. Press MENU . 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Preferences . 3. Press ENTER . 4. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Map Units .
Preferences 59 Selecting the Coordinate System Position data will be displayed in the coordinate system chosen in Map Units. The default system is latitude/longitude (Lat/Lon) and should be fine for most users. Experienced navigators will want to select a coordinate system that matches the maps or charts they are using.
Selecting the Map Datum When using the eXplorist in conjunction with a map or chart, you should make sure that the map datum in the eXplorist matches the map datum that the map or chart uses. This can usually be found in the legend block on the map or chart.
Preferences 61 Using the Power Management T ool When you are out in the field or on the water , extending the life of the batteries in your eXplorist should be something that you are mindful of.
Setting the Light T imer As has been mentioned before, the display backlight makes the display easier to read in low- light situations, but it also is the largest drain on the batteries. The Light T imer function provides you with the selection of how long you want the backlight to remain on while no buttons have been pressed.
Preferences 63 Personalizing the eXplorist This function provides a way to input information about yourself that could be used to return your eXplorist should you happen to lose it. The name you enter in the Name field will be displayed on the About screen.
Selecting Languages The eXplorist can be set to display information from any one of ten different languages. Y ou can select from English, Français (French), Deutsch (German), Nederlands (Dutch), Suomi (Finnish), Español (Spanish), Italiano (Italian), Português (Portuguese), Svenska (Swedish), and Norsk (Norwegian).
Clearing Memory The Clear Memory function of Preferences gives you a tool that you can use to globally clear: • all track logs [ All Track Log ] • all POI’ s and routes [ POIs/Routes ] • all m.
