NOTE: If the MobileMapper Pro receiver automatically
shuts off due to low power while a job is open, it is better
to change the batteries and create a new job with a similar
name rather than append more data to to the job that was
closed due to power loss. For example, if the first job was
named JOB1.MMJ, you can call the second job
JOB1A.MMJ. You can easily merge both jobs in
MobileMapper Office, and save the file as JOB1.MMJ. No
data will be lost and you will be able to reopen this job at
any time and edit the existing file or append new data to
it.
- When the map cursor is positioned over the feature to be
updated, press ENTER. The Selected screen is now dis-
played showing the attribute values currently ascribed to
the feature. Note that the Goto field is highlighted at the
bottom of the screen.
- Press ENTER to ask MobileMapper Pro to guide you to this
feature. If you simply press ENTER, you will make the
selected feature your destination and all the navigation
screens will be set to help you reach that feature. Press
NAV to access any of these screens. On the Map screen,
you can now see a straight line connecting your current
destination to the selected feature.
- Walk to the feature according to the navigation instruc-
tions provided on the Map screen. You can use other navi-
gation screens if you prefer (see also Navigation Screens
chapter from page 36). You will know when you are close
to the feature when the distance to the feature goes to
zero or close to zero, or simply because you can identify it
visually. Another nice way of being informed that you have
arrived at the feature is to set the Alarms option (see expla-
nations on page 65)
