Creating a New Job During your First MobileMapper Field Session
After entering the activation code, MobileMapper Field
displays the map screen. Do the following to create a new job.
1. Tap Menu>Job>New...
2. Enter the following parameters:
• Name: Enter a name for your job using the virtual
keyboard.
• Folder: Choose a folder and storage location where to
store the job file you are creating (see also Location
parameter below).
The None option stands for either the “My Documents”
folder in the main memory, the root folder of the
storage card or the “Storage Disk” folder in the main
memory. Any other option available from the drop-
down menu can only be a sub-folder of the “My
Documents” folder in the main memory, the root folder
of the storage card or the “Storage Disk” folder in the
main memory.
If you want to use a special folder to store your job
files, first create it using File Explorer. You can only
create new folders in the “My Documents” folder, on
the storage card, or in the “Storage Disk” folder.
• Type: For the job file format, choose between “Map
files (*.map)”, the native MobileMapper Field format
and “DXF File (*.dxf)”, which is a standard format for
vector files.
A *.map job is just an “envelope” text file containing
the definition of the coordinate system used as well as
the filenames of all the layers that are part of the job
(layers are held in separate files). The features you will
log through that job will be saved to the corresponding
layer files.
In contrast, a DXF job only consists of a single file, not
only containing the definition of the coordinate system
used, but also all the layers created for the job. The
features you will log through that job will also be saved
to the DXF file.
• Location: Choose the storage medium where to store
the job file. You can choose between “Main memory”,
