Exporting Data to a GIS
The most important processing of your field data is its export
to a GIS. Exporting field data has two processes: conversion
of the data files to a standard format a GIS can read and then
the actual transfer of the file.
1. On your office computer, launch MobileMapper Office
2. From the menu bar, select
File>Open
3. Select the folder where you downloaded your files.
4. Select the MMJ file you want to open and then click
Open
.
MobileMapper Office now views the data collected in the
field.
5. From the menu bar, select
File>Export
.
6. Select one of the formats displayed and you will see a
“Browse for Folder” window that allows you to select the
directory to which the reformatted file will be transferred.
If you don't know where to put this file, just select a tem-
porary location.
7. Click
Export
. Your job will be automatically formatted and
transferred to the selected folder. You can select any
folder that is accessible by your PC - including any GIS
folders that may be on your network. When you start
recording real data to export to a GIS, you will typically
export data to a GIS database.
