File Structure
This is a sample of the My POIs folder.
The first item, Up One Level, is used to move around
the file hierarchy.
The second item, New Folder, provides you the tool
to add a new folder at this level.
New POI File is used to create a new ASCII text file
to save your POI’s too. In the sample shown here,
Yosemite is a new POI file that was created for this
sample to save POI’s created while hiking through Yosemite National
Park.
The last item, Default POI File, is the default ASCII text file where
POI’s you save are stored. This is the file that is provided as a default
to save POI’s in until you have created your own POI file.
This sample displays what is shown when you access
the default POI file. There is an Up One Level item
that is again used to move around the file hierarchy.
Below that is a listing of all the files that have been
stored in this POI ASCII file.
ASCII Text Data Files
An advanced feature of saving data in ASCII text files is that it
provides another means of utilizing and modifying data that you have
recorded. Using an external card reader or by connecting your
eXplorist to your personal computer, you can now access the files that
you have saved. All of the information is there to be used as you need
or modified with a simple text editor like Notepad. Keep in mind that
modifying some of the information may cause the POI to be unusable
or have unexpected results.
