5 The eXplorist 200 uses information from the GPS satellites orbiting the earth to provide you with detailed information about your exact location. This is the foundation that your eXplorist will use to provide you with the necessary information to arrive at your destination. Going to a Destination The most common use of your eXplorist will be to p[...]

Step T wo: Where Do Y ou W ant T o Go? Now that the eXplorist knows where you are, you need to tell it where you want to go. There are many different ways you can do this, but the simplest and most commonly used is a “GOTO” route. This is a one-leg route with a beginning (where you are now) and a destination (where you want to go). The destinat[...]

A simpler example, and one you can do just about any time, is finding your car in that ocean of other cars in the shopping mall parking lot.

Cold vs. W arm Start. When the eXplorist is turned on, one of the first things it does is to find out what satellites are overhead, along with their relative position. It does this by using a built-in satellite almanac. This almanac, when given the current date, time and approximate position, can provide the eXplorist with information on what satel[...]
