Navigate to the next grid point
: When you have fin-
ished recording the first point feature, you can select
Next Pt
at the bottom left to navigate to the next grid
waypoint and record the next point feature within the
grid. This takes you to the Map screen where you can
see your current position marked by the arrow and the
next grid waypoint highlighted with a “crossed box”
target symbol. Small red circles indicate the locations
of all the unvisited grid waypoints. The locations of
where you recorded point feature are indicated by
small black squares.
As you begin moving toward the target symbol, you will
see your heading indicated by the direction of the
arrow marking your position. Adjust your movement as
necessary until you are positioned over the target sym-
bol. You may also use any of the other navigation
screens available with your MobileMapper Pro. The
Arrival alarm is disabled when navigating to grid way-
points. It is best to note your distance to the next way-
point and stop when this value goes to zero. When you
arrive at the next grid point, press the LOG button and
you will see the same Logging screen you used for the
earlier measurement or observation.
Each grid waypoint is a geographic coordinate you
should make every effort to occupy so that the data
you record is evenly spaced and complete. However,
each grid waypoint is merely an aid for navigating to
the ideal location for an observation or measurement.
All the data you record is ascribed to the position of
the MobileMapper Pro receiver and NOT to the grid
waypoint.
It is also possible to
navigate to any grid
waypoint (or any loca-
tion for that matter) on
the Map screen by
moving the arrow key
over another grid way-
point and pressing
ENTER. After you
record data at this
location, the
Next Pt
field may still be
selected to go to the
next grid waypoint in
the network.
