Magellan eXplorist 600

GPS Receiver.

WARNINGS

IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, DO NOT USE THIS NAVIGATION DEVICE

WHILE DRIVING A VEHICLE.

Please do not try and change any settings on the Magellan eXplorist while driving. Come

to a complete stop or have a passenger make any changes. Taking your eyes off the road is

dangerous and can result in an accident in which you or others could be injured.

USE GOOD JUDGEMENT

This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for careful

orienteering and good judgement. Never rely solely on one device for navigating.

USE CARE

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which is

solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network.The accuracy of

position fixes can be affected by the periodic adjustments to GPS satellites made by the

U.S. government and is subject to change in accordance with the Department of Defense

civil GPS user policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be

affected by poor satellite geometry and obstructions, like buildings and large trees.

USE PROPER ACCESSORIES

Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-Magellan cables and antennas may

severely degrade performance or damage the receiver, and will void the warranty.

eXplorist GPS Receiver

The eXplorist GPS receiver is a handheld personal navigation

device that uses information from a constellation of GPS satellites

to compute your present position. In its simplest form, you select

a destination from the list of POI’s (Points of Interest) and the

eXplorist receiver will provide you with the information to arrive

at your destination.

Make sure that the battery has been installed as per the instructions

in the Read Me First document.

1. Compute your position...

Turn the eXplorist on by pressing the

Power button, and then pressing Enter.

With a clear view of the sky, your eXplorist

receiver will begin tracking satellites and

computing your present position.

Press

Basic Operation

Your eXplorist begins

acquiring satellite

information and

computes your present

position.

When “Position Fix” is

displayed in the upper

left corner, you are

ready to select your

destination.

You can see the progress

of satellite data

collection by viewing

the Satellite Status

screen shown here.

Press Nav until this

screen is displayed.

Pressing Nav

button will allow you

to select the navigation

screen, (Map, Position

or Compass) that best

suits your needs.

2. Select a destination...

Press the GOTO button.

Next you need to select which major category

the POI you want to go to resides. My Pts of

Interest are POIs you’ve created, Geocache Pts

are POIs that have been uploaded using the

Magellan Geocaching software, and

Background Map contains POIs that were

preloaded into your eXplorist with the

background map..

Browse either the

eXplorist’s internal memory

(or SD card if installed) to

find the POI you want to go

to.

3. Go to your destination.

Press

Use the joystick

to highlight your

desired

destination and

press Enter.

As you travel you

will notice that your

eXplorist will

continually update

your position as

well as providing

you with the

necessary details to

arrive at your

destination.

Basic Operation

Turning the eXplorist Receiver On

Press Power. (Press

and hold for 2 - 3

seconds.)

After the eXplorist receiver successfully computes your present

position, the last viewed navigation screen is displayed.

Turning the eXplorist Receiver Off

Press Power.

Setting the Display Backlight

Press Light.

The display backlight is a large drain on the receiver’s

batteries.

Press

Enter.

A shutdown

sequence begins. To

cancel power off,

press Escape.

Each time you press the Light button, the

display backlight changes from low to

high and back to off.

Basic Functions

Your eXplorist receiver employs three different navigational

screens to assist you in arriving at your destination. Pressing the

Nav button allows you to cycle through the navigation screen.

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 also displays an indication of where you have

been as a dashed line (track history), as well as a visual indicator

of a route you may be navigating on..

The Position screen displays

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

Navigational Functions

destination and the compass points in the direction you are

heading.

The eXplorist stores data (POIs, routes, track logs, etc.) as ASCII

text files to either an SD card or to its internal memory. Files

saved internally or to an SD card can be opened and viewed on a

personal computer providing you added flexibility in modifying

and storing data to be used in your eXplorist.

Whenever you save a POI, route or track log or if you are creating

a GOTO or a multileg route, you need to tell the eXplorist where

you want the file saved or retrieved from. This is done through the

internal browser in the eXplorist.

File Structure

The eXplorist uses (and creates

automatically on an SD card) a basic

file structure with default folders for

storing the data. You have the

opportunity of creating your own

folders and new ASCII data files.

Those items are covered in greater

depth in the Reference User Guide.

When you save or retrieve a file you will be taken to either the

default folder and data file for files of that type or the default

folder and data file that you assign in Preferences > Active Setup.

Points to Remember:

• •All data is saved in files

• •POI and route files can contain multiple items; track log files

contain only one item.

• •You can create new folders and new files to better organize

your data.

File Structure

7File Structure

This is a sample of the My POIs folder.

The first item, Up One Level, is used to move around

the file hierarchy.

The second item, New Folder, provides you the tool

to add a new folder at this level.

New POI File is used to create a new ASCII text file

to save your POI’s too. In the sample shown here,

Yosemite is a new POI file that was created for this

sample to save POI’s created while hiking through Yosemite National

Park.

The last item, Default POI File, is the default ASCII text file where

POI’s you save are stored. This is the file that is provided as a default

to save POI’s in until you have created your own POI file.

This sample displays what is shown when you access

the default POI file. There is an Up One Level item

that is again used to move around the file hierarchy.

Below that is a listing of all the files that have been

stored in this POI ASCII file.

ASCII Text Data Files

An advanced feature of saving data in ASCII text files is that it

provides another means of utilizing and modifying data that you have

recorded. Using an external card reader or by connecting your

eXplorist to your personal computer, you can now access the files that

you have saved. All of the information is there to be used as you need

or modified with a simple text editor like Notepad. Keep in mind that

modifying some of the information may cause the POI to be unusable

or have unexpected results.

Your eXplorist receiver comes with preloaded POI’s for a variety

of areas. However, you will find that you will want to add your

own POI’s to the database. POI’s that you save are accessed from

the “My Pts of Interest” option of the databas

Saving Your Present Position

From any screen, press

Mark.

Highlight Save and press Enter when done. You then just

need to select or create the data file you want this saved

position saved to.

Some examples of POI’s you might want to save would be your

campsite, a special landmark that you want to visit again at a

future date, fishing hotspots, even your car to help you find it

when your day is done. Anytime you think you might want to

come back to your current location, you should save it to your POI

database and then it will be at your fingertips the next time you

want to return.

You can change the

information in any of

the fields by using

the joystick to

highlight the field

and press Enter.

You might be familiar with the more common navigation

term of “waypoint” for My Pts of Interest. Waypoints and

My Pts of Interest are exactly the same and the terminology

is interchangeable
