6. Repeating a Feature

If you close a point, line or area feature and want to log
the location of another feature of the same type and with
an identical description, use Mobile Mapper's Repeat Fea-
ture function.
- After closing a feature, MobileMapper Pro takes you back
to the Feature List screen. Then do the following:
- Move to the next similar feature you want to log
- Then press MENU, highlight Repeat Feature and press
ENTER. This starts feature logging. Note that the fea-
ture has the same attribute description as the former
one
- After logging the GPS position(s) of this feature, high-
light the Close field and press ENTER to close the fea-
ture.

7. Nesting a Feature

When you are logging GPS positions to a feature, you may
find another feature that you also want to log. Rather than
log the entire feature and come back to record this other
feature, you can simply pause the feature being logged,
log the other feature, close it and resume logging the first
feature.
Logging one feature while you have paused another fea-
ture is called "nesting." You can nest any feature, point
line or area, into any line or area feature. It is not possible
to nest a point feature inside another point feature.
Nesting is particularly useful when you are mapping things
such as a road with streetlights along the route or a shore-
line with stretches of erosion along it and the locations of
certain habitats.
