I am now up to waypoint number 234, is there a way to start again at number 1.

You can delete all waypoints which would take you back to number one. Is that what you mean?

 

If so, then on the Magellan screen with the list of waypoints showing, click Menu then select delete all waypoints.

 

You can also delete individual waypoints by opening each one, clicking Menu and selecting delete waypoint.

 

It's also worth noting that when you create a new waypoint, you have the option of naming it - tedious process, but useful if you need some detail to remind you of what the waypoint was about.

 

Hope that helps

Actually, I believe on the Explorist you're stuck with the ever-incrementing waypoint numbers. I've tried deleting the highest numbered WP's, and the next one added gets the NEXT number instead of being reset down.

 

Don't know what happens if you delete ALL of them, tho, as SageTracey suggested. Let us know!

You can also EDIT those existing waypoints any time you choose. No real need to use 'em once and keep 'em forever.

You can, of course, update an existing waypoint record on the Explorist with new coords, but a NEW waypoint gets created by doing things like performing a projection or selecting a point on the map. When doing these things you don't have the option of reusing a previous waypoint record. A new one is created with the next number.

It's easier to just delete old ones. But, as I said, the sequential just continues to climb.

I have deleted all the waypoints,but next time I put a new waypoint on it will be number 235, it won't go back to one, I just can't clear it he numbers.

Correct.

That's just how that device works.

Interesting discussion which had me back playing with my eXplorist!

 

I give my waypoints names so that I know what they are for but when I go to add a new WP, it takes the last used name and adds a number. For example, if my last WP was Train Station then the next time I create a WP, the GPSr will offer Train Station1 as the default new WP name.

 

This happens even if I have deleted all WPs so it seems as if it is default behaviour by the unit. If you have never named a WP then it will just continue to increase in numbers.

 

Sorry to have misled you in my earlier post.
