Revisiting Features
Going Back to a
Feature
• Tap Menu>Go To.... The receiver allows you to go back to a
feature according to one of the following two methods:
1. Enter target coordinates: Choose this option if you want
to go back to a point feature for which you know the
coordinates (latitude/longitude or Easting/Northing (X/
Y) depending on the coordinate system used in the
map file). After you have entered the two coordinates,
tap
OK. This takes you back to the map screen.
2. Select destination from list: Choose this option if you
want to go back to a feature stored in the open map.
First of all, you have to select the layer the feature
belongs to. Use the
Go to drop-down menu to make this
choice. As a result, the screen lists all the features
contained in that layer. Features are listed from the
nearest to the farthest from your current location.
Select the desired one simply by tapping on its name.
This takes you directly back to the map screen.
Whatever the method used, you can now see, on the map
screen, a yellow/red segment connecting your current
position to the feature.
For a line or polygon, MobileMapper Field will draw a
segment between your current position and the point in
the line or polygon the nearest to you.
In the lower bar, you can read the distance and the bearing
to the feature.
• Walk in the direction indicated on the screen until you
reach the feature.
If the voice guidance is activated (see Menu>Options, Voice
tab), right/left instructions as well as the distance to the
feature will be issued at regular intervals of time as vocal
messages.
