6. Logging New Features with Same Attributes as Those Set
in the Previously Logged Feature
If you close a point, line or area feature and want to log
the location of another feature of the same type and with
an identical description, use the Repeat Attributes function.
After closing a feature, ProMark3 takes you back to the
Feature List screen on which the same feature type is still
selected. Just do the following:
- Move to the next similar feature you want to log.
- Tap Log to start logging the new feature.
- Tap Options and then Repeat Attributes. As a result, all
the attributes of the previously logged feature are
immediately assigned to the feature been logged.
- After logging the GPS position(s) of this feature, tap
Done to close the feature.
7. Nesting a Feature
When you are logging GPS positions to a feature, you may
find another feature that you also want to log. Rather than
log the entire feature and come back to record this other
feature, you can simply pause the feature being logged,
log the other feature, close it and resume logging the first
feature.
Logging one feature while you have paused another fea-
ture is called “nesting.” You can nest any feature, point
line or area, into any line or area feature. It is not possible
to nest a point feature inside another point feature.
Nesting is particularly useful when you are mapping things
such as a road with streetlights along the route or a shore-
line with stretches of erosion along it and the locations of
certain habitats.
