Logging New GPS/GIS Data
Prior to starting logging GIS data, be sure MobileMapper Pro
is computing your position when you stand near the first fea-
ture you want to log. For the best accuracy it is important to
hold the receiver vertical and at eye level so it has a clear
“view” of the sky.
Press NAV until you display the Map screen. If an arrow is dis-
played at the center of the Map screen and you can see that
your position on the screen is the expected one, then you can
start your job. (An hour-glass icon indicates that no position
has been calculated yet.) Follow the instructions below to log
GIS features.
1. Creating a Job and Selecting a Feature Library
- Press the LOG button
- Select the
Create New Job
option and press ENTER.
The screen displays the
Job Name
field in which you
should enter the name of the new job. A keyboard is
displayed underneath to let you enter this name.
To use the keyboard, press the arrow keys to move the
cursor over the keyboard. For example, if the job name
is “JB010”, highlight “J” using the arrow keys and
press ENTER. Then select “B” and press ENTER, etc.
- When you have finished entering the name, highlight
the
OK
key on the screen and press ENTER. A new
screen is then displayed listing the feature libraries
stored in MobileMapper Pro.
- Use the down/up arrow to highlight the library you
want to work from and press ENTER. The screen now
lists all the features available from the selected fea-
ture library.
IMPORTANT! If the “post-processing” option has been
enabled in the receiver, an additional screen will
appear between the feature library screen and the fea-
tures list screen. This new screen will ask you to
choose the job mode. For more information, see page
33.
Entering a job name
The keyboard is fitted
with special keys such
as the CLEAR key to
clear the job name
field, the Shift key to
switch between upper
and lower-case, the
backspace key to
delete the last entered
character and a space
key
Note that each
MobileMapper Pro
includes a "Generic"
library containing
default features. This
library contains a point
feature, a line feature,
an area feature and a
grid feature. Each of
these features has a
single text-style
attribute. Use this
library only as
“backup” library.
