Resuming
a paused feature
The "Repeat Feature"
utility works for any
point, line or area fea-
ture - but not for a grid
network of point fea-
tures, where the goal is
to record the differ-
ences in measurements
or other observations.
Selecting the Repeat
Feature option
- Closing a nested feature
Closing a nested feature - or any feature - is done by
scrolling down to the Close field on any feature logging
screen that shows the name of the feature at the top.
Highlight the Close field on the Nesting: Str Light screen
and press ENTER.
- Resuming a paused feature
To resume logging to the road feature, press the MENU
button again and select the Resume Road option. You will
go back to the feature's attribute screen and the receiver
will continue logging data to the feature. Remember that
if you move away from the spot where you paused the fea-
ture, there will be a jump in its position when you resume
logging.
- Closing any feature
You can close the road feature just as you did the nested
streetlight: highlight the Close field on the road logging
screen and press ENTER.
- Repeating a feature
If you close a feature and want to record the location of
another feature of the same type and with an identical
description, you can use MobileMapper Pro's "Repeat
Feature" function.
To most easily familiarize yourself with the "Repeat Fea-
ture" function, start logging data to an imaginary stree-
tlight feature and record its condition as "good" and the #
of bulbs as 2. Then close the streetlight by highlighting
the Close field and pressing ENTER. Now walk to another
location about 10 meters (or 30 feet) away and press
MENU. The Repeat Feature option is highlighted, so all you
have to do is press ENTER and the receiver will begin log-
ging data to a new feature of the same feature type and
with the same description. Close the second streetlight
and move to another location and repeat the feature once
more. Each of these streetlights will be described as in
good condition and having 2 bulbs.
