• Viewing the background map: Use Add Layer>Select
Existing. In the Open dialog box, choose “Raster file” as
the file type and then select the background map file from
the job folder. Click Open. There may be a message
warning you about the coordinate system used by the
background map, if not exactly the same as the one used
in the job. You may choose to go on anyway if systems are
not very different. Note that background maps are seen as
layers in the job.
• Status Bar: The status bar is located at the bottom of the
main window. Whatever the feature selected on the map
screen, the status bar displays the coordinates of the
selected point.
For a line or polygon feature, the status bar additionally
shows a sliding bar allowing you to move the cursor on the
map screen from one point to the next or previous point
using respectively the “plus” or “minus” button at the two
ends of the sliding bar.
The location of the cursor on the sliding bar is
representative of the position of the selected point in the
line or polygon.
• Layer Editor: MobileMapper Office also allows you to edit
SHP files in a way much similar to MobileMapper Field's
Edit/Create Layer function.
– When creating a new layer from scratch in
MobileMapper Office, a new window will open (see
below) asking you to define attributes for the new layer.
If you are familiar with creating attributes in
MobileMapper Field, using this window will be no
problem.
