Map Screen
The Map screen will be the screen you most commonly use and a good understanding of its workings will
enhance your experience with the Magellan eXplorist. The Map screen can be displayed in two modes,
Navigate and Pan. In Navigate Mode your current location is displayed along with a graphical indication of
where you’ve travelled (track) and information about where you are going (route). In Pan Mode you can ‘pan’
around the map looking for places to go or places to create a waypoint.
