Routes Routes are the least understood and one of the most important functions of a GPS receiver. The better you understand routes and how to use them, the more enjoyment you will receive from using your eXplorist. A GOTO route is a one-leg route with a starting point (your present position) and a destination (a POI you select). This route is useful when you want to go to a specific preloaded or userentered POI. 37 The next type of a route is a multi-leg route. The easiest way to understand multi-leg routes is to know that they are GOTO routes stuck together. [. . . ] Press ENTER. Clearing All Track Logs, User-Entered POIs and Routes 1.
