5.6 Using the Map
5.6.1 Mode
You can use the Map module to check your current GPS position, to
navigate to waypoints or features, to view the update status of
features, and to open features for update. The map shows the features
in the data file selected in the Data collection module. To open the
map, return to the Main menu by pressing M, thenselectMap. You
can use the N key to switch between the map and other open
modules.
The Map module can operate in a graphical mode, or in a text mode.
The graphical mode displays the position of each feature in the data
file, by drawing the boundaries of line and area features and
displaying the symbol assigned to each point feature type. It can also
show a background map, and navigation information such as
waypoints and the GPS trail.
Note – When the Map module is performing calculations, an
hourglass appears in the top right corner of the screen. It remains
visible until calculations are complete and the map is ready to display
again.
