Creating a New Job
During your First
MobileMapper
Field Session
After entering the activation code, MobileMapper Field
displays the map screen.
Because it is the very first time you are using the software,
there is no job open In MobileMapper Field. Follow the
instructions below to create one:
1. Tap
Menu>Job>New...
2. Enter the following parameters:
•
Name: Enter a name for your job using the Microsoft
virtual keyboard, or the large MobileMapper Field
keyboard,if enabled.
•
Location: Choose the storage medium where to store
the job file. You can choose between “Main memory”
or “Storage Card” (if there is an SD or micro-SD card
inserted in the receiver). With MobileMapper 100 or
120, a third option is available (physically located in
the resident memory and named “Storage Disk”).
•
Folder: Choose a folder where to store the job file you
are creating.
The
None option stands for either the “My Documents”
folder in the main memory, the root folder of the
storage card or, for MobileMapper 100 or 120, the
“Storage Disk” folder in the main memory. Any other
option available from the drop-down menu can only be
a sub-folder of the “My Documents” folder in the main
memory, the root folder of the storage card or, for
MobileMapper 100 or 120, the “Storage Disk” folder
in the main memory.
If you want to use a subfolder where to store your job
files, tap
Create New Folder. You can only create
subfolders in the “My Documents” folder, on the
storage card, or in the “Storage Disk” folder.
NOTE: “Storage Disk” has a higher storage capacity
than “MyDocuments” (located in the Main Memory).
•
Type: For the job file format, choose between “Map
files (*.map)”, the native MobileMapper Field format
and “DXF File (*.dxf)”, which is a standard format for
vector files.
A *.map job is just an “envelope” text file containing
the definition of the coordinate system used as well as
the filenames of all the layers that are part of the job
(layers are held in separate files; see below).
