Changing The Parameters Of A Grid Feature Before Logging Gis Data - Magellan MobileMapper - GPS Software User Manual

If you cannot physically occupy this waypoint, but can
make the necessary visual observation, you should do
so and record an offset estimating the distance and
bearing to the grid waypoint. If you are recording mea-
surements made by an instrument, you should NOT
record an offset but rather try to make a recording as
close as possible to the position.
- When you have occupied as many of the grid way-
points as you can and recorded the necessary observa-
tions and measurements at each, highlight the Close
field at the bottom of the Logging screen and press
ENTER. This closes the grid feature and returns you to
the New Feature selection screen where you may
either log data to another feature, even to another grid,
or close the entire job.

ging GIS Data
When you navigate to the location of the grid, you may
decide to readjust the size and orientation of the grid
based on field observations that you did not foresee back
in the office. For example, you may find that navigating to
waypoints with an east-west orientation is not feasible if
the area of interest is situated on a narrow strip of land
between two north-south running streams.
When you change the definition of a grid, MobileMapper
Pro always assumes that you are standing in the corner of
the grid from which you can see the grid extend in front of
you and to the right.
