To log GIS data on a preset grid, do the following:
- If you have created a waypoint to help you locate the
first grid point, you can use any of ProMark3's naviga-
tion screens to get there. Press MENU and tap GOTO.
Using the Left or Right arrow, make sure Alphabetical is
selected at the bottom of the screen. Then tap User
Waypoint
. In the list of waypoints now displayed, tap
the name of the waypoint you want to go to. Again, you
may use any of the ProMark3's navigation screens to
arrive at this waypoint
- Once you arrive at the point of beginning, you should
open up the job file that includes the feature library
describing the grid. If you opened an existing job,
press LOG to take you to the New Feature screen. Then
tap the grid feature type listed on the screen. Usually
the term “grid” is included somewhere in the feature
name so that you can easily recognize this type of fea
-
ture. Tap the on-screen Log button. The Grid Setup
screen appears on which you can read the definition of
the grid (see opposite).
.
When you navigate to the location of the grid, you may
decide to readjust the size and orientation of the grid
based on field observations that you did not foresee
back in the office. For example, you may find that nav
-
igating to waypoints with an east-west orientation is
not feasible if the area of interest is situated on a nar-
row strip of land between two north-south running
streams.
GOTO will not be shown in
the menu list if you press
MENU while the unit dis-
plays the Map screen in
cursor mode. In that case,
just press NAV and then
MENU again.
