Offset
Tapping on the Offset button opens a Offset Input screen. This screen
enables the user to specify the distance, direction, and slope from the
initial (current) location to an offset location.
Distance
The Distance box sets the direct distance in displayed units to the
offset point.
Direction
The Direction box sets the angle, in degrees, measured from North
to the offset point. Next to the Direction box is the Ref (reference)
label. This displays the heading you set up in the confi guration of
LandMark CE and the declination angle. The reference used for each
point is stored with the waypoint.
Slope
The Slope box sets the angle, in degrees, of altitude inclination. A
negative number represents a declination in altitude.
This ability to offset points is valuable in many situations. For
example: The offset function can be used when a point you want to
mark is inaccessible (i.e. like a power pole behind a fence or an island
in a lake), when the GPS signal at a desired point is unavailable (it
may be blocked), or when gathering points from a vehicle without
having to get out of the vehicle.
To use the Mark Point Offset function, complete the following steps:
Fill in the Distance from where your current location is to the
point you are wanting to save.
Fill in the Direction in degrees that the new point is located.
Fill in the Slope from where you are located to the new point. This
is a useful tool to determine the a clinometer.
