3. Tap Save to create the job file. What you then get on the
screen depends on the format (map or dxf) you chose for
the job. See Creating New Layers on page 10 for more

currently open job and opens the new one instead.
Subsequent Uses of MobileMapper Field
The next time you launch MobileMapper Field, the program
will open the job you last opened.
If this job is no longer present in the receiver, then a message
will warn you that the program has been unable to open any
job. You will then have to create a new job or open an existing
one.
Opening an Existing Job
•Tap Menu>Job>Open.... MobileMapper Field browses all
the folders in search of all the *.map jobs stored in the
receiver. A new window then opens listing all these jobs.
To list all the DXF jobs stored in the receiver, select the
DXF extension from the Type combo box.
• After you have found the job you wish to open, tap on its
name in the list. This opens the job and takes you to the
map screen where you can see the features already logged
in the different layers.
Viewing the Properties of the Open Job
•Tap Menu>Job>Properties. MobileMapper Field then
displays a two-tab window. The first tab provides the job’s
name, type and location (folder). The second one views
the properties (projection and datum) of the coordinate
system used in the job.
•Tap OK or press ESC to return to the map screen.
Creating New
Layers
Introduction
Creating a layer consists of defining a specific profile for
features you would like to log in the field. The layer creation
process will be different depending on whether you chose
“MAP” or “DXF” for the job format:
• MAP format: Each layer is held in an individual file. The
layer format can be either “SHP”, “MIF” or “CSV”.
