Sometimes,
you
may
want to
save
a position that
is
not your present position.
The
eXplorist
offers
you
two
ways
of doing that.
You
can
modify the coordinates of
your
present position
or
you
can
use
the Cursor
mode
of the
Map
screen
to
pan
to the location
you
want to mark.
Marking
a
Position
by
Entering
Coordinates
This method of marking a position would normally
be
used
when
you
have
gotten the
coordinates for the position from a
map
or
chart. It
is
also
possible that
you
have
gotten the
coordinates from a friend
and
want to
save
this
POI
in
your eXplorist database.
Before beginning,
make
sure
that
your
eXplorist
has
been
set to
use
the
same
coordinate
system
of the coordinates
you
plan
on
entering.
If
not,
you
will
have
to
go
to Preferences
and
change the coordinate
system
used
by
your
eXplorist.

on

different but the
