Restarting GPS (Initializing)

When To Restart GPS: Your eXplorist always starts looking for

satellites assuming it is in the same location as when it was turned

off. Traveling more than 500 miles with your eXplorist receiver

turned off may cause delays in position computation. Restarting

GPS is not mandatory but will decrease the time taken to compute

your position following such a move.

Changing the Active Setup

Whenever you save a POI, create a route, geocache points or the

maps you wish to access (basemap or detail map), your eXplorist

will automatically take you to the preassigned default folder.

This is fine for normal operation but if you want to access a

different folder multiple times you may find it easier to set a

personal default folder. For example, you may have created a file

named Yosemite for a camping trip you are on. For this trip every

POI you save or retrieve will come from the Yosemite file and it is

faster to set this file as your default.
