The eXplorist stores data (POls, routes,
track
logs, etc.)
as
ASCII text files to either
an
SO
card or to its internal memory.
Files saved internally or
to
an
SO
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
GOTD
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.

The eXplorist uses
(and creates
automatically
on
an
SO
card) a basic fi
Ie
structu
re
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
fi

you wi

be
taken to either the
defauIt folder and data fi

for fi les of
that
type or the defauIt
folder and data

that
you assign in

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
organ ize your data.
