- Arriving at the feature
Selecting
the Arrival alarm
- Reviewing the existing data
- Editing the descriptions
As you walk toward the target feature, if you pass a feature
that you wish to map, you may do so by pressing the LOG
button and adding to the job file. When you are done, you
may reselect the original target feature and continue navi-
gating to it.
You will know when you are close to the feature when the
distance to the target goes to zero or close to zero, or sim-
ply because you can identify it visually in the field without
ambiguity.
Another nice way of being informed that you have arrived
at the feature is to set the Alarms function. Before navigat-
ing to another feature, press MENU, highlight Setup, press
ENTER, highlight Alarms and press ENTER. Using the
down arrow, highlight the Arrival field, press ENTER,
select for example 30m in the list and press ENTER again.
Press ESC to come back to the navigation screen. Now,
next time you navigate to a feature using the Goto func-
tion, the "Within 30m of <feature name>" message will
be displayed, and a sound will be heard, when you arrive
at this feature. (You will press ESC to delete the message.)
Now that you have arrived at the feature, press the LOG
button and you will see the attributes and attribute values
of the Str light feature.
You are now able to adjust the attribute values to whatever
your new observations indicate. You do this just as you did
when you were recording the feature for the first time. You
close the feature in the same way and thereby save the
new descriptions.
