The Map screen displays your present position using a map of the area as the background. You can zoom in or out using the zoom in/out buttons to show just the portion of the map you need. The Map screen can also display your track history as well as a visual indicator of a route you may be navigating on.
The Position screen dispalys your present position using the coordinate system selected in Preferences. Also displayed is your elevation accuracy, date and time, trip odometer and battery life.
The Compass screen uses a graphical compass to provide you with information used to navigate to your destination. An icon outside the compass ring indicates your destination and the compass points in the direction you are heading.
You can press the Mark button to save a waypoint (also called a POI - point of interest). There are 42 different icons available to represent your waypoint. In the "name" field you can enter an alpha-numeric name of up to 8 characters. The "location" and "elevation" fields can be made any value you want. The message field will hold a message of up to 30 characters.
Pressing the GOTO button will prompt the eXplorist 100 to ask you whether you want your stored POIs to be displayed alphabetically or by nearest to your position. Once you choose which POI you want to navigate to, the bearing and distance to the chosen location is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
As you travel with the unit on, it will continuously record your track. Track is then a history of everywhere you have gone. At anytime you want to reverse your direction and head back to where you started, you can create a Backtrack route. You can create your own routes by choosing POIs from the list or adding new POIs.
The Help function contains about 25 different items in six categories that will answer many common questions. Preferences allows you to adjust map unit settings, adjust power management settings, personalize the eXplorist 100, change languages, and clear the memory.
