Open Job
This option provides another way of opening a GIS job. It is
similar to selecting the
Open Existing Job option that is
prompted on the screen after pressing the LOG button when
no job is open yet. Selecting this option when a job is already
open allows you to close the currently open job and open an-
other one.
New Job
This option provides another way of creating a new GIS job.
It is similar to selecting the
Create New Job option that is
prompted on the screen after pressing the LOG button when
no job is open yet.
Mark
This option allows you to quickly create a new waypoint
whose coordinates will be those of your current location.
A typical use of this option is when you are located at a new
point of interest and you wish to log its position.
When you select
Mark in the menu list, MobileMapper dis-
plays the Mark screen with the following default values:
- Default icon in the
Icon field
- “WPTxxx” as waypoint name in the
Name field. “xxx” is
a number that MobileMapper automatically increments
as you create new waypoints
- Coordinates of your current location in the
Location and
Elevation fields
If you agree with all these parameters, and as the
Save field
is already selected at the bottom of the screen, you just have
to press ENTER to create the new waypoint. This is the fast-
est procedure to create a new waypoint.
On the other hand, if you have to change any of these param-
eters or add a comment in the
Message field, then you have
first to edit the corresponding fields before selecting the
Save
field and pressing ENTER
