7.2.10 Collecting Around an Obstruction
From time to time, there may be an obstruction (such as a tree or rock) in your survey area.
There is a temptation to pick up the system, move it around the obstruction and continue
collecting. This is wrong!
The correct way is to approach the obstruction from both directions. Granted, there will not be
data where the obstruction is, but there will be data before and after it.
When you approach the obstruction, terminate the line by pressing End Line . If you collect less
than 95% of the expected line distance, the system assumes there is an obstruction and will
give you the option to collect a reverse line. For example, in Figure 7-42, LineY3 was
incomplete, so it gives the user the option of collecting a reverse line, called LineY3R.

7.2.11 Reversing a Line
During data collection, you can reverse a line (or multiple lines) to collect from the other
direction. Press
Reverse Line when that line is selected to collect from the other direction.
