The Magellan eXplorist 100 is a hand-held GPS system designed to assist you in all of your outdoor explorations. The eXplorist 100 calculates your position using GPS satellites orbiting the Earth. For the best results, give your GPS unit a good view of the sky. Keep the antenna clear and unobstructed. The easiest method of getting directions to a single point is to create a GOTO route by pressing the GOTO button and selecting your destination from a points-of-interest database. The route is the straightest line from your current position to your destination, so your GPS is constantly updating the route as you travel to account for deviations in the path.
Instructions
Saving Your Position to the Database
1. Press Mark.
2. Type in a name for your current location to easily find it in the points-of-interest database. For example, if you're camping and have set up your tent, you can name that location Tent.
3. Tap on the GOTO button when you're ready to return to the location you set. Select its name from the My Points of Interest list.

10. Tap on Menu. Highlight Track log by using the arrow joystick. Press Enter.
11. Highlight Active Track, and then tap on Menu.
