– Direction: this parameter tells the program whether the
real feature is on your left or right.
– Horizontal Distance field: Horizontal distance
perpendicular to the line or polygon feature.
If a range finder is used to measure this distance, tap
on the Read Range Finder button once the range finder
has got a valid measurement. This will automatically
fill in the field.
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 positions.
•Tap OK. MobileMapper Field instantly starts logging the
feature.
If you have selected the automatic vertex mode, start
walking along the feature. You will then see a line being
drawn on the screen as you walk.
If you have selected the manual vertex mode, the receiver
will assume you are standing on the first vertex and so it
will log this vertex according to the chosen averaging time.
You will then have to walk to the next vertex and then
select Menu>Resume to log the position of the second
vertex, etc.
• When you arrive at the end of the feature, tap Menu and
select Stop. MobileMapper Field then automatically
switches to the attribute list.
• Define each attribute for the line or polygon (see Entering
Values for Attributes on page 42).
•Tap OK to return to the map screen, which now shows the
location and shape of the feature according to the
representation defined in the layer properties.
Entering Values for Attributes
Depending on the type of the attribute, you will have to
perform the following:
• For a text attribute, type your text using the virtual
keyboard and then tap OK.
