8. Offsetting a Point Feature

Sometimes the feature you want to put on the map is in
area of poor GPS reception or is not accessible. This is
when you can map the feature using the offset utility. By
combining the receiver's position with the bearing and dis-
tance to the feature, MobileMapper Pro will automatically
calculate and record the position of the feature.
To input an offset for a point feature, assuming the Fea-
ture List screen is now displayed, do the following:
- Highlight one of the listed point features available
from the selected feature library and press ENTER
- Press MENU, highlight Offset and press ENTER.
