How a grid is defined
in MobileMapper Pro
To log GIS data on a preset grid, do the following:
- If you have created a waypoint to help you locate the
first grid point, you can use any of MobileMapper Pro's
navigation screens to get there. To access a waypoint
file you can use to navigate to the point of beginning,
press the MENU button and select the GOTO option.
Then select the User option. This will place the way-
point symbol and label on the base map displayed on
the receiver's Map screen. Again, you may use any of
the MobileMapper Pro's navigation screens to arrive at
this waypoint.
- Once you arrive at the point of beginning, you should
open up the job file that includes the feature library
describing the grid. If you opened an existing job,
press LOG to take you to the New Feature screen. Then
select the grid feature type listed on the screen. Usu-
ally the term "grid" is included somewhere in the fea-
ture name so that you can easily recognize this type of
feature. After selecting the grid feature, the Grid Setup
screen appears on which you can read the definition of
the grid (spacing, columns, rows and heading).
- Record an observation or measurement: With the OK
field highlighted, just press ENTER. This takes you to
the Logging screen that indicates that you have begun
logging data to the feature and that the receiver is
ready to log the feature's attributes. Remember that
you remain stationary for all point features. Describe
the feature as you would any other point feature.
