Uploading a Job to the Handheld

First of all, you have to connect the handheld to the PC run-
ning MobileMapper Office and test the connection, as ex-
plained in the previous chapter.
- Open the file job in MobileMapper Office using the

File>Open

command. Job filenames are in the form

“*.mmj”.

- On the menu bar of the MobileMapper Office main win-

dow, select

File

,

Upload to GPS

and

Job...

. MobileMapper

Office then routinely searches for the right baud rate to
communicate with the handheld. When communication
is established with the handheld, the upload sequence is
automatically started. A dialog box keeps you informed
on the file being transferred. A message is also displayed
on the handheld informing you that file transfer is in
progress. These two indications disappear from the PC
and handheld screens when data transfer is complete.
IMPORTANT! When you upload a job file, not only do
you upload all the logged features, if any, contained in
this job, but also the feature library attached to the job.
All MobileMapper job files include a feature library.

You must make sure that

the SD card is inserted

into the receiver to

ensure proper data

transfer between the

handheld and

MobileMapper Office
