Selecting a feature on
the Map screen

- Opening an existing job
As you did when creating a new job, you press the LOG
button. But this time, select the Open Existing Job option.
- Selecting the job you want to update
The first screen you see after selecting the Open Existing
Job option is the Job Selection screen. There should be
two jobs to choose from: a sample job that came loaded
on the receiver and the job you created earlier. For this
exercise, select the job you just created by using the arrow
key to highlight it and the ENTER button to load the job.
The Map screen is now displayed.
- A note on feature library selection when updating exist-
ing jobs
When you open an existing job, you are not prompted to
select a feature library because you must use the one
selected when the job was created. This feature library is
always part of the existing job, and so it is always available
for use in updating existing descriptions and logging new
features.
- Navigating to GIS features in order to update the obser-
vations made previously
In order to update the description of a GIS feature, you
should first identify it on the map screen and navigate to
it.
To make this exercise more realistic, you should walk at
least 30 meters or 100 feet away from the spot where you
first recorded the Str light feature. Next zoom in far
enough on the Map screen so that the locations of the fea-
tures you recorded are visible. Then press the arrow button
in any direction to make the selection cursor appear and
to position it over the feature you wish to inspect.
