It is very important for
you to understand what
a feature library is! So
please read carefully the
definition opposite.
Selecting the Tutorial
feature library
An additional screen
will appear after the
feature library selection
screen if the post-pro-
cessing option has
been enabled in your
receiver (see page 17)
Selecting
Str Light feature
There is a backup key, a space bar and a shift key. Select
Done when you have spelled the name.
- Select a feature library
MobileMapper Pro uses lists of features called "feature
libraries" that make describing features in the field easy
and fast. Feature libraries are made up essentially of three
elements:
• The name of the type of feature, e.g. streetlight, road
or park
• Attributes of the feature, e.g. the condition of the
streetlight, the number of light bulbs, etc.
• Values corresponding to these attributes, e.g. the
streetlight's condition is "good" or "needs repair" and
the number of bulbs is "two"
You create MobileMapper Pro feature libraries using the
Feature Library Editor module in the MobileMapper Office
- as you will see when we return to the office toward the
end of this exercise. However, your receiver is pre-loaded
with a "Tutorial" feature library that you can select right
now to familiarize yourself with data logging.
- Selecting a feature to describe from the feature library
The "Tutorial" feature library you will use contains lists of
features that you might visit during a typical field session.
After you have selected the feature library, you will see the
Feature Selection screen. Highlight the Str light feature
and press ENTER. Please note that logging is commenced
immediately upon feature selection, as indicated on the
Logging screen. For point features, therefore, you should
make sure that you are standing still when you press
ENTER. By the time you have finished describing the fea-
ture, you will have been averaging your positions for sev-
eral seconds and will achieve better accuracy.
