• Folder: Choose a folder where you want to store the 
layer you are creating. This choice should be made in 
conjunction with the choice of the storage medium 
(see Location).
The None option stands for either the “My Documents” 
folder or the “Storage Disk” folder in the main memory, 
or the root folder of the storage card. All other options 
available in the drop-down menu will be a sub-folder of 
the “My Documents” folder or the “Storage Disk” 
folder in the main memory, or the root folder of the 
storage card.
If you want to use a special folder to store your layers, 
first create it using File Explorer. You can only create 
new folders in the “My Documents” folder, in the 
“Storage Disk” folder or on the storage card.
• Type: Choose the type and/or format of the layer you 
want to create:
SHP layer: Depending on your choice the layer will 
hold 2D/3D points, 2D/3D lines, or 2D/3D polygons.
MIF layer (can hold any type of feature).
CSV layer (point feature type only).
• Location: Choose the storage medium where you want 
to store the layer. You can choose either “Main 
memory” or “Storage Card” (if there is an SD, or micro-
SD card inserted in the receiver). With MobileMapper 
100, a third option is available (physically located in 
the resident memory and named “Storage Disk”).
3. Tap the Save button to proceed. If you are defining the 
second or next layers, go directly to step 5. If you are 
defining the first layer in the open job, the program will 
first ask you to define a coordinate system for the job: 
• First field: Choose the country you are working in. You 
may also choose a worldwide system such as UTM or 
Worldwide Geodetic System.
• Second field: The number of options available in this 
field depends on the selected country. Select the 
datum that is suitable for your job.
See also Coordinate Systems on page 36.
• Third field: The number of options available in this 
field depends on the selected country. Choose a 
projection that is suitable for your job. Select Latitude/
Longitude for no projection.
• Fourth field: Choose a vertical datum in which to 
express the Z coordinate.
