Logging a Point
Feature
• Stand near the point you want to log.
•Tap Log (or press the “–” key underneath). A menu
appears listing all the layers in the job.
• Tap on the point layer name (“Points” in our example).
• Tap on the Settings tab and check or change the averaging
time expressed in seconds. As the last chosen averaging
time is prompted by default, you may not have to view this
tab every time you log a new point feature.
• To log the point with an offset, tap on the Offset tab and
enter the following parameters (for no offset, just check
that the horizontal distance is 0 on this tab and proceed
to the next step):
– Bearing: This field is filled automatically either from
the GPS compass, the E-compass if this option is
activated in Menu> Options> E-compass, at the time you
access the Offset tab, or from the range finder, if there
is one (see below).
If the E-compass is used, a valid measurement will be
made if you take care to hold the receiver horizontally
in the direction of the point feature, before you start
logging the feature.
If neither the E-compass nor a range finder is used,
then the GPS compass can provide this value by
default. A valid measurement will be made if you take
care to steadily walk in the direction of the point
feature before you start logging the feature.
– Horizontal Distance field: Distance to the point feature.
If a range finder is used, tap on the Read Range Finder
button once the range finder can provide valid
measurements. This action will automatically fill in the
Bearing and Horizontal Distance fields.
If no range finder is used, type an estimate of the
horizontal distance directly in the field using the
keyboard. The better you estimate the distance, the
better the collected position.
•Tap OK. MobileMapper Field instantly starts logging the
point. Wait for the end of the averaging process while
holding the receiver still and keeping an eye on the
progress bar. MobileMapper Field then automatically
switches to the attribute list. Note that the computed
coordinates of the point feature are displayed at the end
of the list of attributes.
