Was Columbus typical of explorers during that time or did other explorers have different or additional motives?

Not typical. He was looking for a breakthrough and had his own mathematical theories (all wrong) to back him up - which is why American natives are still called Indians. He was lucky not to have died.

Motives for Exploration - Wealth and ReligionThe motives for Spanish, French and explorers were all different, although in some ways, they were the same. They all wanted to find the Northwest Passage, which they believed was a direct and efficient route to - home of spices, silks and wealth. They also wanted to lay claim to new land to expand their empires. The Spanish explorers were in search of mineral wealth, looking for El Dorado (the City of Gold) and they aspired to spread Christianity. France also wanted to spread Christianity and find a new route by water to the East through North America. The English were motivated by a desire to colonize as much of the Americas as possinble - to add to the ever-increasing British Empire.
