The
eXplorist
has
a file structure
system
that
is
unlike
any
other filing
system
used
before
on
a
GPS
receiver. It
is
based
on
the file
system
that
you
are
probably familiar with from using
your personal computer.
File
Structure
Overview
This graphic displays the basic
layout of the file structure that
is
internal to the eXplorist.
When
you
insert a
new
SD
card, a similar file structure
is
created but without
any
of the
default files.
While it
is
possible to
save
files
in
any
of the folders (i.e.,
POls
could
be
saved
in
the
Routes
folder), it
is
highly
recommended that
you
create
new
files
in
the associated
main topic folder. This will
make
finding the
POlar
route
much easier
when
you
need
to
access
the fi
Ie.
The
Detail
Maps
and
Geocaches
folders
are
empty
until
you
upload a detailed
map
from mapping software,
such
as
Magellan
MapSend
or
geocache fi
les
from the
Magellan Geocaching software.
The
files for
POls,
routes,
track
logs
and
geocaching
points
are
ASCII
text files.
When
your eXplorist
or
SD
card
is
connected to your
personal
computer,
you
can
open
these
files using
any
text editor
and
modify them to your
needs.
If
you
are
going to modify
any
of
the fi
les,
you
should
do
so
to a
copy of the fi
Ie.
Mistakes
in
modifying the files
can
cause
unwanted results.
