Magellan 210 Manual De Referência

Whether driving in a car, hiking on the trail or out for an afternoon sail, you are going to want to save places 
you’ve been in your eXplorist so you can go back to them in the future.  This is the fundamental starting point 
for any GPS navigator.

Saving these places is called “Marking you position” or just MARK for short.  The saved positions are called 
points of interest, or just POI’s.  (You may have heard the term “waypoints” to describe marked positions.  
Waypoints and points of interest are identical.)

There are four types of POIs available for your eXplorist XL: POIs that you have marked (saved), POIs that have 
been stored in your eXplorist as part of the built-in background map, POIs that have been uploaded using the 
geocaching software, and POIs that have been uploaded from a detailed map.  These POIs are accessed from 
the same MENU option and can be used independently or combined to create routes.

The most common way of adding POI’s to the database will be marking your 
present position.  There are two levels of marking your position. The first that 
will be described will be quick marking your position.  The second method 
provides you the means to personalize POI’s you are saving.

This saves your present position in the database using mark position defaults.

1.

Press MARK.

2.

Press ENTER.

Note:  if a position fix is not being computed or if only a 2D position fix (no 
elevation information) is being computed, a warning will be displayed asking you 
to confirm that you still want to save this position.

When you save a 2D position fix you will notice that even though elevation was 
not computed, that a elevation value is included as part of the POI.  This 
elevation is the last elevation that was computed by the eXplorist.

Tip:  Later in this manual you will see a way to modify the icon, name and message of positions you have quick 
marked.
