5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each point in the line/polygon you want to measure. The pan location
information that displays in the top right corner of the screen changes to display the heading
from the last measurement node to your current GPS location, the leg distance, as well as the
total distance from the last measurement node to the first measurement node. It displays the
area once you close a polygon.
Note: Lines must contain at least two points. To make a polygon, you must close the shape by
placing the last point on top of the first point. Hover the cursor over the start location, press
ENTER to snap to the point and close the polygon.
