DITING OR
ELETING A
Imagine that you are in the field and you have made a duplicate point, or the wrong type of point for
the current project (i.e. things that merely editing a point would not help). There is a way to
delete that point. First, in the Map View, make sure that "Identify" is checked. Draw a box
around the point on the screen. The identify results screen pops up and lists the features
contained within that drawn box. The base layers such as "Michigan" may be listed, but just
ignore them. Tap the point. A menu will pop up and give the option of viewing attributes,
browsing on map, deleting, and navigating to this location.
To edit attributes, select View Attributes, then the Edit button in the bottom-right corner.
To delete the point from memory, select Delete Feature.
o NOTE: Make sure you have selected the correct point. There is no "undo delete"
button.
Select any other point that needs to be edited or deleted. When finished selecting, uncheck
"Identify". This tool can be extremely annoying if left on.

EAVING THE
RC
To leave the application you have to be at the main tasks page and then select exit application from
the menu tab in the lower left corner. Let is load for a few moments and it will take you back to
the main screen. ArcGIS Mobile automatically saves changes. You can now safely shut down
the GETAC/Archer by turning off the device and plugging it in, so that the battery can charge.
NOTE: do not let your battery completely deplete, as it could erase everything on the
GETAC/Archer. The batteries last for a long time and with the auto sleep mode you will not lose
a charge while in the field unless you forget to charge the GETAC/Archer at the end of the day
or while driving to sites.
