This displays the Point Offset screen on which you
should enter the following parameters:
Bearing: Compass direction to the feature from your
current position. You need a compass to measure this
angle (see also opposite). To input a value for Bearing,
press ENTER and type in the new value from the key
-
board or the on-screen keyboard. Then press ENTER
again.
Press the down arrow to move the cursor to the next
field.
Horz. Distance: Horizontal distance to the feature from
your current position. To input a value for Horz. Dis
-
tance, press ENTER and type in the new value from the
keyboard or the on-screen keyboard. Then press
ENTER again.
Press the down arrow to move the cursor to the next
field.
Vert. Distance: Vertical distance to the feature from your
current position (“0” if the feature and yourself are at
the same elevation -on a flat area). To input a value for
Vert. Distance, press ENTER and type in the new value
from the keyboard or the on-screen keyboard. Then
press ENTER again.
Press the down arrow to move the cursor to the next
field.
- Then tap OK to return to the Logging screen. This
writes the offset into memory, but you can edit it later
if you like by going through the same process. If you
close the feature and return to the Map screen, you
will see that the feature is offset from your position in
the middle of the screen.
Point Offset screen
If you do not have a com-
pass, you can use
ProMark3’s Compass
screen (see also page 145)
to determine the bearing to
the offset feature. If you
have been moving for 5 to
10 seconds along a
straight line, the Compass
screen will tell you your
bearing. You can use this
to determine the bearing to
the offset feature. CAU-
TION! The receiver cannot
determine direction while
stationary and the compass
direction remains the same
even if you rotate the
receiver.
Visual estimation for horz.
& vert. distances is usually
good enough in terms of
accuracy.
