IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SOFTWARE.

IF YOU HAVE PAID A LICENSE FEE FOR USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY RETURN THE SOFTWARE (ALONG WITH ANY HARDWARE ON WHICH IT WAS EMBEDDED, IF APPLICABLE) FOR A FULL REFUND PROVIDED YOU (A) DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE AND (B) RETURN THE SOFTWARE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF YOUR INITIAL PURCHASE.

IF YOU WISH TO USE THE SOFTWARE AS AN EMPLOYEE, CONTRACTOR, OR AGENT OF A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP OR SIMILAR ENTITY, THEN YOU MUST BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN FOR AND BIND THE ENTITY IN ORDER TO ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE LICENSES GRANTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON ACCEPTANCE BY SUCH AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

IF YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH TRIMBLE FOR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH OTHER AGREEMENT SHALL PREVAIL OVER ANY CONFLICTING TERMS OR CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT.

This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Trimble Navigation Limited, located at 935 Stewart Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, U.S.A. and/or its Affiliates (“Tri mbl e”) and the customer (individual or entity) that has downloaded or otherwise procured the licensed Software (as defined below) for use as an end user (“You ”). This Agreement covers any Software and supporting technical documentation provided with the Software (“Documentation”).

1. Definitions

“Affiliate” shall mean any entity that directly or indirectly through one or more entities, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a Trimble party. For purposes of this definition, the term "con- trol" as applied to any entity, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management of that entity, whether through ownership of voting securities or otherwise.

“Effective Date” means the earlier of the date You sign an Order Form or the date on which the Software is first made available to You.

“Order Form” means any order which is entered into by Trimble (or an authorized Trimble distributor or reseller) and You under which You are provided the Software. Each Order Form for the Software shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. This Agreement is binding on You whether or not You executed an Order Form with Trimble. Order Forms may not vary the terms of this Agreement. Only a written agreement, signed by Trimble (not a Trimble distributor or reseller) may vary the terms of this Agreement.

(TNL - TEBV)

“Software” means the Trimble software product(s) provided in connection with this Agreement in object code form (or as otherwise specified in any related Order Form). “Software” shall also include any releases provided to or purchased by You under any separate support and maintenance agreement You may enter into with Trimble. Unless otherwise noted, the Software and Documentation are referred to collectively herein as “Software”.

“Third-Party Software” means any third-party software that is provided to You by Trimble under this Agreement or under separate terms and conditions.

“Trimble Supplier” means either Trimble or an authorized distributor or reseller of Trimble products or services which has entered into an Order Form with You.

2. License

2.1.Grant of License. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Trimble grants You a non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to use the Software in machine-readable form on any computer and operating system for which it was intended, but solely (a) for your own internal business purposes at the location specified in the applicable Order Form or otherwise agreed to by Trimble (the “Site”); (b) in accordance with the Documentation; and (c) in accordance with any additional license term, subscription term or other user, seat, computer, field of use or other restrictions set forth in the applicable Order Form or otherwise specified by Trimble.

2.2.Installation and Copies. Trimble shall make available the Software and Documentation by disk, other media, or as embedded in a device, or make it available for download in electronic form. Trimble shall also provide You with electronic passwords or other enabling mechanisms if necessary to permit the licensed usage of the Software. All licenses shall commence, and delivery shall be deemed to occur, as of the Effective Date (or, if later, such date on which the Software and license keys are first made available to You). If your Order Form is with a Trimble distributor or reseller, that distributor or reseller (and not Trimble) is solely responsible for delivery to You and Trimble has no liability for any failure to deliver. If the Software requires license keys to operate as licensed to You, the applicable Trimble Supplier will deliver such license keys to You.

2.3.Software Intended to be Installed on Computers. The Software is licensed as a single product. You may not separate its component parts for use on more than one computer except as specifically authorized in this Agreement. You may copy and install on your computers for use only by your employees the number of copies of the Software for which You have paid the applicable license fee or have been authorized in writing by Trimble. You may transfer the Software from one computer to another computer provided that the computer to which the Software is transferred is located at the Site and the Software is completely removed and de-installed from the prior computer. If You are permitted by Trimble to install the Software on a network server, and You transfer the Software from the Site to a new location, You must provide Trimble with written notice of the new site prior to such transfer. You may also make a reasonable number of copies of the Software only for back-up and archival purposes. This Paragraph 2.3 does not apply to any software embedded on Trimble devices.

2.4. License Restrictions.

2.4.1 You shall not (and shall not allow any third party to): (a) decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer the Software or attempt to reconstruct or discover any source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats or programming interfaces of the Software by any means whatsoever (except and only to the extent that applicable law prohibits or restricts reverse engineering restrictions). To the extent any applicable mandatory laws give You the right to perform any of the aforementioned activities without Trimble’s consent in order to gain certain information about the Software for purposes specified in the respective statutes (e.g., interoperability), You hereby agree that, before exercising any such rights, You shall first request such information from Trimble in writing detailing the purpose for which You need the information. Only if and after Trimble, at its sole discretion, partly or completely denies your request, may You exercise such statutory rights; (b) distribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease or transfer the Software (or any portion thereof), nor use the Software (or any portion thereof) for time sharing, hosting, service provider or like purposes; (c) provide the Software to a third party on a temporary basis and/or use the Software for the benefit or purposes of a third party whether by means of lease, loan, data processing services (e.g. “fee for service”) or otherwise, unless You are a reseller of Trimble products under separate written agreement with Trimble and authorized by Trimble to do so; (d) remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright, or other notices contained in the Software; (e) modify any part of the Software, create a derivative work of any part of the Software, or incorporate the Software into or with other software, except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by Trimble; (f) attempt to circumvent or d isable the security key mechanism that protects the Software against unauthorized use (except and only to the extent that applicable law prohibits or restricts such restrictions) and/or any licensing control features; or (g) publicly disseminate performance information or analysis (including, without limitation, benchmarks or comparison testing or analysis) from any source relating to the Software or disclose to any third-party or release any results thereof (all of which information shall be considered Trimble confidential information) without Trimble’s prior written consent.

2.4.2 If the Software has been provided to You as embedded in any hardware device, You are not licensed to separate the Software from the hardware device. If the Software has been provided to You separately from a hardware device but is intended to be loaded onto a hardware device specified by Trimble (such as a firmware update), your license is limited to loading the Software on the device specified by Trimble in the Documentation, and for no other use.

2.4.3 You agree to use all reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use and disclosure of the Software.

2.5.Evaluation Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and during its term, Trimble may, in its discretion, provide You with prerelease, beta or other software on an evaluation basis (“Evaluation Software”). You may use Evaluation Software solely for internal evaluation purposes for thirty (30) days from receipt of the Evaluation Software (unless otherwise agreed by Trimble in writing) (the “Evaluation Period”).

Unless You pay the applicable license fee for the Software, the Evaluation Software may become inoperable and, in any event, your right to use the Evalu-

ation Software automatically expires at the end of the Evaluation Period. Evaluation Software shall be subject to all restrictions on Software set forth in this Agreement. You shall treat all Evaluation Software as Confidential Information of Trimble and shall return or destroy any copies of Evaluation Software upon expiration of the applicable Evaluation Period. Any and all suggestions, reports, ideas for improvement and other feedback of any type You provide regarding the Evaluation Software are the sole property of Trimble, and Trimble may use such information in connection with any of its products or services without any obligation or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. You acknowledge that all Evaluation Software is provided “AS IS” and may not be functional on any machine or in any environment. THE WARRANTIES OF SECTION 5 DO NOT APPLY TO EVALUATION SOFTWARE. TRIMBLE AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE EVALUATION SOFTWARE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

2.6.Internet-Based Services Components. Some features of the Software may require connection to the Internet directly or through a wireless connection in order to function. Such features may result in the transfer of certain data over such connections, which may or may not be secure or encrypted. You are solely responsible for obtaining any necessary Internet wireless subscription plans with the applicable service providers. You further acknowledge that Trimble is not responsible for the availability of Internet or wireless connections or the security or integrity of data transmitted over such connections.

2.7 Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for the limited license rights expressly provided herein, Trimble, its licensors and suppliers have and will retain all rights, title and interest (including, without limitation, all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Software and all copies, modifications and derivative works thereof (including any changes which incorporate any of your ideas, feedback or suggestions). You acknowledge that You are obtaining only a limited license right to the Software and that irrespective of any use of the words “purchase”, “sale” or like terms hereunder no ownership rights are being conveyed to you under this Agreement or otherwise.

2.8 Copyright. All title, rights and copyrights in and to the Software (including, but not limited to, any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, and text incorporated into the Software, as well as all intellectual property rights), the Documentation and other accompanying written materials, and any copies of the Software are owned by Trimble, its licensors and/or suppliers. You shall not remove, cover, or alter any of Trimble's patent, copyright, or trademark notices placed upon, embedded in, or displayed by the Software or on its Documentation, packaging and related materials.

3. Payment

3.Payment. Unless a Software has been made available by Trimble at no charge, You shall pay all fees associated with the Software licensed and any services purchased hereunder as set forth in the applicable Order Form. All payments shall be made in the currency specified in the applicable invoice within thirty (30) days of your receipt of such invoice, unless otherwise specified in writing by the Trimble Supplier. Except as expressly set forth herein, all fees

are non-refundable once paid. You shall be responsible for all taxes, withholdings, duties and levies arising from the order (excluding taxes based on the net income of the Trimble Supplier). Any late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

4. Term of Agreement

4.1.Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and expires at such time as all license and service subscriptions hereunder have expired in accordance with their own terms (the “Ter m”). Either party may terminate this Agreement (including all related Order Forms) if the other party: (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach; (b) ceases operation without a successor; or (c) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against such party and not dismissed within sixty (60) days. If You have entered into a separate written agreement with Trimble which governs the Software and that agreement is terminated, then this Agreement automatically terminates and You shall no longer have any right to use the Software. Termination is not an exclusive remedy and the exercise by either party of any remedy under this Agreement will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise. For clarity, even if You have entered into an Order Form with a Trimble distributor or reseller, Trimble is a third party beneficiary to that Order F orm and has the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in this Section 4 (Term of Agreement).

If a Software has been made available by Trimble at no charge, the license remains effective until terminated in accordance with subparagraphs (b) to (c) mentioned above; You decide to terminate this Agreement by ceasing all use of the Software and destroying or returning all copies; or, without prejudice as to any other rights, Trimble decides to terminate this Agreement with or without notice if You fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

4.2.Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, You shall cease any and all use of any Software and Evaluation Software and destroy all copies thereof and so certify to Trimble in writing.

5.3.Survival. Paragraph 2.4 (License Restrictions), Paragraph 2.7 (Ownership), Paragraph 2.8 (Copyright), Section 3 (Payment), Section 4 (Term of Agreement), Paragraph 5.3 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 8 (Limitation of Remedies and Damages), Section 9 (Confidential Information), Section 10 (Export Compliance) and Section 11 (General) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

5. Limited Warranty and Disclaimer

6.1.Limited Warranty. Trimble warrants to You that for a period of ninety (90) days from the Effective Date (the “Warranty Period”) the Software shall operate in substantial conformity with the Documentation. Because the Software is inherently complex and may not be completely free of nonconformities, defects or errors, You are advised to verify your work. Trimble does not warrant that the Software will operate error free or uninterrupted, that it will meet your needs or expectations, that all nonconformities can or will be corrected, or the results obtained through use of the Software. Trimble’s sole liability (and your

exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty shall be, in Trimble’s sole discretion, to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide You with an errorcorrection or work-around which corrects the reported non-conformity, or if Trimble determines such remedies to be impracticable within a reasonable period of time, to refund the license fee paid for the Software. A Trimble Supplier other than Trimble may fulfill Trimble’s warranty obligations hereunder on behalf of Trimble. Trimble Suppliers shall have no obligation with respect to a warranty claim unless notified of such claim within the Warranty Period.

5.2.Exclusions. The above warranty shall not apply: (a) if the Software is used with hardware or software not specified in the Documentation; (b) if any modifications are made to the Software by You or any third party; (c) to defects in the Software due to accident, abuse or improper use by You; (d) to Software provided on a no charge or evaluation basis; (e) to any Third Party Software; or (f) to any Software obtained as freeware, whether from Trimble, a Trimble Supplier or otherwise.

5.3.Disclaimer of Warranties. THIS SECTION 5 IS A LIMITED WARRANTY AND, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 5, THE SOFTWARE AND ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” NEITHER TRIMBLE NOR ITS SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR UNDERTAKINGS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS. HOWEVER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE. IN ADDITION, TRIMBLE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, TO SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO YOU FREE OF CHARGE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, SUITABILITY, PERFORMANCE OR USE. ANY SOFTWARE PROVIDED AT NO COST IS PROVIDED BY TRIMBLE "AS IS."; ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE IN SUCH CASE DISCLAIMED

6. Support & Maintenance

Trimble shall provide the support and maintenance services, if any, as separately purchased by You and specified in the applicable Order Form. Such support and maintenance shall be provided pursuant to Trimble’s standard service terms which are available upon request from Trimble. Trimble Suppliers may provide additional support services under separate written agreement, but Trimble is not responsible for any such support unless being a contracting party.

7. Professional Services.

The Trimble Supplier shall provide the number of person-days, if any, of professional consulting services (“Professional Services”) purchased in the applicable Order Form and related statement of work. If Trimble is providing Professional Services, unless agreed in a separate written agreement, all Professional Services shall be provided pursuant to Trimble’s standard service terms which are available upon request from Trimble. If your Order Form is with a Trimble Supplier other than Trimble, that party (and not Trimble) is solely responsible for providing Pro-

fessional Services and Trimble, not being a contracting party, has no liability related to such services.

8. Limitation of Remedies and Damages.

8.1. NEITHER TRIMBLE NOR TRIMBLE’S SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

8.2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, TRIMBLE AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ ENTIRE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO TRIMBLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

8.3. THE SOFTWARE IS NOT FAULT TOLERANT AND IS NOT DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED OR INTENDED FOR USE IN LIFE SUPPORT, MEDICAL, EMERGENCY, MISSION CRITICAL OR OTHER STRICT LIABILITY OR HAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES (“HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES”). TRIMBLE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU WILL NOT USE THE SOFTWARE (OR PERMIT IT TO BE USED) FOR HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES, AND AGREE THAT TRIMBLE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR USE OF THE SOFTWARE IN HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS TRIMBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR OTHER LOSSES RESULTING FROM SUCH USE.

8.4. The parties agree that the limitations specified in this Section 8 will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

9. Confidential Information.

Any software, Documentation or technical information provided by Trimble (or its suppliers and agents) shall be deemed “Trimble Confidential Information” without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, You will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Trimble Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, You acknowledge that the Software constitutes the valuable confidential information and trade secrets of Trimble and, accordingly, You shall at all times, both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter keep in trust and confidence all the Software, and shall not disclose the same to any third party without Trimble’s prior written consent. You acknowledge that disclosure of Trimble Confidential Information would cause substantial harm to Trimble that could not be remedied by the payment of damages alone and therefore that upon any such disclosure by You, Trimble shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law.

10. Export Compliance

You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the United States of America (“U.S.”) and of other jurisdictions (national, state, and local) to the extent that they may govern your use of the Software. In addition, You acknowledge that the Software may be subject to export restrictions by the U.S. government and by certain other governments. You shall

not, and shall not allow any third party to, directly or indirectly, remove or export or allow the export or reexport of any part of the Software or any direct product thereof: (a) into (or to a national or resident of) any embargoed or terrorist-supporting country; (b) to anyone on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders or U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals; (c) to any country to which such export or re-export is restricted or prohibited, or as to which the U.S. government or any agency thereof requires an export license or other governmental approval at the time of export or re-export without first obtaining such license or approval; or (d) otherwise in violation of any export or import restrictions, laws or regulations of any U.S. or foreign agency or authority laws, or in violation of any applicable export control laws in the country where the Software has been obtained or is used. You agree to the foregoing and warrant that You are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country or on any such prohibited party list. The Software is further restricted from being used for the design or development of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology, or for terrorist activity.

11. General.

11.1. Assignment. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns. Trimble may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate or in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of Trimble’s assets or voting securities. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Trimble’s written consent. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement without such written consent will be null and void. If You obtain such consent from Trimble, You shall permanently assign or transfer all of your rights under this Agreement, provided You retain no copies and You transfer all of the Software (including all component parts, the media and printed materials, any upgrades, and this Agreement), and the recipient agrees to the terms of this Agreement. If the Software portion is an upgrade, any assignment or transfer must include all prior versions of the Software.

11.2. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, that provision shall, if possible, be construed as though more narrowly drawn, if a narrower construction would avoid such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, or, if that is not possible, such provision shall, to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, be severed, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect, provided, however, that the court shall have authority and jurisdiction to, and shall, add to this Agreement a provision as similar in terms and intended to effect to such severed provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

11.3. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue.

Either party may change its notice address by written notice to the other.

11.6. Amendments; Waivers. No supplement, modi-

fication, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party to this Agreement. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived.

11.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the com-

plete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. No provision of any purchase order or in any other business form employed by You will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document issued by a party hereto relating to this Agreement shall be for administrative purposes only and shall have no legal effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You have entered into a separate written license agreement signed by Trimble for use of the Software, the terms and conditions of such other agreement shall prevail over any conflicting terms or conditions in this Agreement.

11.8. Independent Contractors. The parties to this

Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party’s behalf without the other party’s prior written consent.

11.9. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be li able to

the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events, which occur after the signing of this Agreement and which are beyond the reasonable control of the parties, such as strikes, blockade, war, terrorism, riots, natural disasters, refusal of license by the gov-

ernment or other governmental agencies, in so far as such an event prevents or delays the affected party from fulfilling its obligations and such party is not able to prevent or remove the force majeure at reasonable cost.

11.10. Government End-Users. The Software is commercial computer software. If the user or licensee of the Software is an agency, department, or other entity of the U.S. Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Software, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by a license agreement or by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 for military purposes. The Software was developed fully at private expense. All other use is prohibited.

Such Third-Party Software is not licensed hereunder and is licensed pursuant to the terms and conditions indicated in the Documentation and/or on the Third-Party Software conditions (“Third-Party License”). Except as may be set forth in the Third-Party License, neither Trimble nor Trimble Suppliers offer any warranty in connection with any Third-Party Software and neither Trimble nor Trimble Suppliers shall be liable to You for such Third-Party Software.

11.12. Official Language. The official language of this Agreement is English. For purposes of interpretation, or in the event of a conflict between English and versions of this Agreement in any other language, the English language version shall be controlling.

11.13. Reservation of Rights. Trimble reserves all rights not expressly granted by this Agreement.

If an executed agreement exists between You and Trimble at any time regarding the Software, the terms of that agreement shall supersede the terms of this Agreement in its entirety. Thus, if You enter into a separate written agreement with Trimble regarding the Software, that agreement (not this one) will control your use of the Software; and further if that agreement is terminated, You will not have the right to use the Software under the terms of this Agreement after termination.

Introduction

MobileMapper Field is a user-friendly software program intended for mobile, general-purpose GIS applications.

MobileMapper FIeld is provided on a CD. The auto-run file allows you to easily install the program on your receiver from an office computer.

With MobileMapper Field, GIS data collection starts with the creation of a job (a *.map or *.dxf file).

Then you need to add or create layers, i.e. profiles through which you can define the types of 2D or 3D features you would like to log (points, lines or polygons), as well as their attributes (including images -JPG files- and sound tracks WAV files). MobileMapper Field will save layers as separate SHP (+ associated SHX and DBF files), MIF or CSV files for a *.map job, or directly in the job file for a DXF job.

The coordinate system attached to a job is defined when adding the first layer. If it’s a new layer, you will need to define the coordinate system by yourself. If it’s an existing layer, the job will inherit the coordinate system earlier defined for that layer. The purpose of defining a coordinate system is twofold:

• Allowing your receiver to show your current position in the chosen coordinate system. These coordinates will appear at the bottom of the map screen.

• Allowing your receiver to log the coordinates of each feature in that coordinate system. These coordinates will be saved to the corresponding layer.

The map screen will view all the features you log, based on the graphic conventions you choose for each layer. It will also help you navigate to existing features if necessary.

A background map can also be viewed on the map screen to help you locate the different features that can be found in your working area. Selecting a background map is part of the choices available in the software settings menu.

Data files can easily be downloaded to an office computer using the USB data cable provided with your receiver.

With the raw data logging option enabled and unlocked, the receiver will continuously log raw data files so that later you can enhance the accuracy of all your feature positions through post-processing using MobileMapper Office software.

Dragging the Map

on the Screen

Use one of the following two methods.

• For receivers having an ESC key, press this key to move the

arrow symbol representing your current position back to the center of the map screen. Following this action, the whole screen is updated to reflect the map shift.

• Drag the stylus in the desired direction.

Because some receivers have no ESC key (e.g. MobileMapper

10), a routine is implemented bringing your current position

back to the center of the screen after 15 seconds of idle time on the map screen.

Setting General

Parameters

1. Tap Menu>Options.... A new screen is displayed on which

you can choose the measurements units:

• Linear units: Choose between kilometers/meters, miles/

feet or miles/US feet.

• Area units: Choose between square meters, square

kilometers, hectares, acres, square feet, square yards or square miles.

2. Tap on the Antenna tab and then enter the vertical distance you will maintain between the top of the receiver (where the GPS antenna is) and the ground while executing the job.

This value has to do with your own size since you will be holding the receiver in your hand throughout the job.

Enter the distance value according to the selected linear unit. This setting makes sense only for 3D jobs. It can be ignored for 2D jobs.

3. Tap on the View tab located at the bottom of the screen. A new screen is displayed allowing you to orientate the map:

• North Up: Map orientation is fixed. The top of the map

screen will always give the North direction.

• Course Up: Map orientation will change as you walk.

The map will rotate in order to have your course always orientated upward on the map screen. This option cannot be used if a georeferenced background map is displayed.

English

4. Tap on the Filter tab and then enter the maximum permitted PDOP value. No features can be collected when the PDOP exceeds this value (default: 100). A good geometry of satellites usually gives PDOP values less than

5. At the bottom of the screen, scroll the list of tabs to the right until you can see the Keyboard tab. Use this tab to enable or disable the large on-screen keyboard. The large keyboard is only available for use within the MobileMapper Field application. Only the Microsoft smaller keyboard can be used when working from within the operating system.

6. For background maps (Map tab), see Adding Background Maps on page 20.

Minimizing the

MobileMapper

Field Window

Tap in the upper-right corner of the map screen. To re-open the MobileMapper Field window, either tap on

“MobileMapper Field” on the Home screen or the icon at the bottom of the Home screen.

Minimizing the MobileMapper Field window has no effect whatsoever on software operation. The receiver will safely continue to collect raw data or features while the window is minimized.

Quitting

MobileMapper

Field

Use the Menu>Exit option to quit the program. Caution! Tapping in the upper-right corner of the screen only

minimizes the MobileMapper Field window and so does not fully exit the program.

Creating a New Job

During your First

MobileMapper

Field Session

After entering the activation code, MobileMapper Field displays the map screen.

Because it is the very first time you are using the software, there is no job open In MobileMapper Field. Follow the instructions below to create one:

1. Tap Menu>Job>New...

2. Enter the following parameters:

• Name: Enter a name for your job using the Microsoft

virtual keyboard, or the large MobileMapper Field keyboard,if enabled.

• Location: Choose the storage medium where to store

the job file. You can choose between “Main memory” or “Storage Card” (if there is an SD or micro-SD card inserted in the receiver). With MobileMapper 100 or 120, a third option is available (physically located in the resident memory and named “Storage Disk”).

• Folder: Choose a folder where to store the job file you

are creating. The None option stands for either the “My Documents”

folder in the main memory, the root folder of the storage card or, for MobileMapper 100 or 120, the “Storage Disk” folder in the main memory. Any other option available from the drop-down menu can only be a sub-folder of the “My Documents” folder in the main memory, the root folder of the storage card or, for MobileMapper 100 or 120, the “Storage Disk” folder in the main memory.

If you want to use a subfolder where to store your job files, tap Create New Folder. You can only create subfolders in the “My Documents” folder, on the storage card, or in the “Storage Disk” folder.

NOTE: “Storage Disk” has a higher storage capacity than “MyDocuments” (located in the Main Memory).

• Typ e: For the job file format, choose between “Map

files (*.map)”, the native MobileMapper Field format and “DXF File (*.dxf)”, which is a standard format for vector files.

A *.map job is just an “envelope” text file containing the definition of the coordinate system used as well as the filenames of all the layers that are part of the job (layers are held in separate files; see below).

English

The features you will log through that job will be saved to the corresponding layer files. Each layer consists of the following five files: <layer_name>.prj, <layer_name>.shp, <layer_name>.shx, <layer_name>.dbf, <layer_name>.drw,

In contrast, a DXF job consists of the following files: One dxf file: The job file in itself. Each newly logged

entity will be saved to that file, whatever the layer from which it proceeds.

One <job_name>.prj file: Contains the description of the coordinate system used in the job

One <job_name>.dfs file: Lists the names of the layers attached to the job as well as the attributes defined in these layers.

<job_name>_<layer_name>.drw files (one or more): Each of these drw files contains the full definition of a layer (visual representation and attributes).

Both Map and Dxf jobs may also use *.mnd and *.mnu files. These are auxiliary files containing mandatory attributes (*.mnd) and menu strings for menu-type attributes (*.mnu).

3. Tap Save to create the job file. What you then get on the

screen depends on the format (map or dxf) you chose for the job. See Creating New Layers on page 13 for more details.

It’s only after you are finished with the layers to be incorporated in your job and you have defined a coordinate system for the job that you will see the name of the job in the upper-left corner of the map screen,

Subsequent Uses

of MobileMapper

Field

Opening an

Existing Job

The next time you launch MobileMapper Field, the program will open the job you last opened in the previous session.

If this job is no longer present in the receiver, then a message will warn you that the program has been unable to open the job. You will then have to create a new job (see also Using Templates To Create New Jobs on page 11) or open an existing one.

• Tap Menu>Job>Open.... By default, MobileMapper Field

browses all the folders in search of all the *.map jobs stored in the receiver. A new window then opens listing all these jobs.

To list all the DXF jobs stored in the receiver, select the DXF extension from the Typ e combo box.

Note that MobileMapper Field can also support ESRI’s AXF database format for GIS data. After you have downloaded one of these files to your receiver, you can open it with MobileMapper Field and add or modify entities the same way as you would in an open MAP or DXF job. You cannot however create a new AXF file with MobileMapper Field. You cannot either add or remove layers to/from an AXF job.

To list all the AXF jobs stored in the receiver, select the AXF extension from the Typ e combo box.

• After you have found the job you wish to open, tap on its name in the list. This opens the job and takes you to the map screen where you can see the features already logged in the different layers.

English

Viewing the

Properties of the

Open Job

Using Templates

To Create New

Jobs

• Tap Menu>Job>Properties. MobileMapper Field then displays a two-tab window. The first tab provides the job’s name, type and location (folder). The second one views the properties (projection and datum) of the coordinate system used in the job.

• Tap OK (or press ESC on MobileMapper 100/120 or MobileMapper 6) to return to the map screen.

When creating a new job in a given format (MAP or DXF) while a job of the same format is currently open, once you have named that new job and specified in which folder to save it, MobileMapper will prompt you to use the open job as a template for the new job. What does that imply if you choose “Yes”?

•For a MAP job: MobileMapper Field will create a “<new_job_name>”

folder in the specified folder to which all the layers found in the template job will be copied.

The copied layers will be emptied (i.e. all features deleted) so that you can start collecting new features from scratch using these layers, which are now fully part of the new job.

Remember that each of the copied layer will keep exactly the same name, and same attributes, as the one from which it is derived. (see also diagram below):

English

Specified folder (In main memory, ”None” = My Documents)

<New_job_name>.map

<New_job_name>

“Emptied” Layers, i.e. file names unchanged, all definitions of attributes preserved, but all features removed

• For a DXF job: MobileMapper Field will duplicate all the

files relevant to the job to the specified folder and will empty the created DXF file (no more entity found in this job). If the new DXF job is created in the same folder, then only a new empty DXF file will be created since in this case all the other files can be shared smoothly by the original and duplicate jobs.

If you don’t want to use the open job as a template, choose “No”. You will then have to define manually the coordinate system used as well as each of the layers that are expected to be part of the job (new or already existing ones for map jobs,

new ones necessarily for dxf jobs).

Creating New Layers

Introduction Creating a layer consists of defining a specific profile for

Attaching Layers to

a Map Job

features you would like to log in the field. The layer creation

English

process will be different depending on whether you chose “MAP” or “DXF” for the job format:

• MAP format: Each layer is held in an individual file. The layer format can be either “SHP”, “MIF” or “CSV”.

– An SHP layer can only contain a single type of feature.

When creating a new layer, you should first indicate if it is created to hold 2D/3D point, 2D/3D line or 2D/3D polygon features.

– A MIF layer can contain any type of feature (point, line

or polygon).

– A CSV layer can only support point features.

• DXF format: Each layer consists of a drw file created in the same folder as the DXF job file. A layer attached to a DXF job can contain any type of feature (point, line or polygon).

Here are the two different contexts in which you can create a new layer to be attached to a Map job:

• With a job open in the current MobileMapper Field session, you tap Menu>Job>New... to create a new *.map job for which the program will ask you directly to add new layers, either by creating new ones or by selecting existing ones.

• With a job open in the current MobileMapper Field session, you tap Menu>Layers... and then you tap on the Add button.

From the screen displaying the Create a new layer button, do the following:

1. Tap the Create a new layer button.

2. Enter the following parameters:

• Name: Enter a name for the layer using the virtual

keyboard (10 characters max.). The name of the layer should depict the type of features you will collect with this layer (e.g. Points, Lines, Areas, etc.).

English

• Location: Choose the storage medium where you want to store the layer. You can choose either “Main memory” or “Storage Card” (if there is an SD, or microSD card inserted in the receiver). With MobileMapper 100 or 120, a third option is available (physically located in the resident memory and named “Storage Disk”).

• Folder: Choose a folder where you want to store the layer you are creating. This choice should be made in conjunction with the choice of the storage medium (see Location).

The None option stands for either the “My Documents” folder or the “Storage Disk” folder in the main memory, or the root folder on the storage card. All other options available in the drop-down menu will be subfolders of the “My Documents” folder or the “Storage Disk” folder in the main memory, or the root folder on the storage card.

It is a good idea to store your layers in the same storage medium and folder as the open job so that all the files created for the job be found at the same location.

If you want to use a specific folder where to store your layers, first create it using File Explorer. You can only create new folders in the “My Documents” folder, in the “Storage Disk” folder or on the storage card.

• Typ e: Choose the type and/or format of the layer you want to create:

SHP layer: Depending on your choice the layer will hold 2D/3D points, 2D/3D lines, or 2D/3D polygons.

MIF layer (can hold any type of feature). CSV layer (point feature type only).

3. Tap the Save button to proceed. If you are defining the second or next layers, go directly to step 5. If you are defining the first layer in the open job, the program will first ask you to define a coordinate system for the job:

• First field: Choose the country you are working in. You

may also choose a worldwide system such as UTM or Worldwide Geodetic System.

• Second field: The number of options available in this

field depends on the selected country. Select the datum that is suitable for your job.

Layer Properties Symbol

57 different symbols are available to represent a point feature on the map screen.

Color

15 different colors are available to represent a line feature or the contour of a polygon feature on the map screen.

Style

The line style (thin, medium, thick or dash) is used to represent a line feature on the map screen.

Fill

Eight different patterns are used on the map screen to fill the area covered by a polygon feature.

Attributes

Attributes are an important part of a layer since they are designed to hold specific information (other than position) that you want to collect for each feature.

The number of attributes you can create in a layer is limited to 50. Each attribute is defined by a name (10 characters max.) and a type.

You may decide to make an attribute a “mandatory” parameter to describe any feature you will log in the layer. This means the operator won’t be able to complete the logging of a feature until the mandatory attribute has properly been defined. Any type of attribute may be made mandatory.

There are eight different attribute types of attributes, as summarized below.

layer

As opposed to the attributes you have to enter manually (“user-set” attributes), these useful attributes with preset names are automatically added by MobileMapper Field (software-set attributes) after the feature has been logged.

For example, using “Satellites”, “PDOP”, “Status”, “HRMS” and/or “VRMS” allows the program to automatically assign the current value of each of these attributes to a point you are

English

logging. “Status” refers to the position computation mode used at that time.

Also, using “Length” allows the program to automatically assign the length of a line as one of its attributes. The length of the line is computed as you walk along the line. The result of the computation only appears after you have stopped logging the line, when you review all its attributes. The same is true with the “Perimeter” and “Area” attributes for a polygon.

Adding attributes to a layer:

• From the Attributes tab of the layer properties window, tap

the Add... button.

• Enter a name for the attribute using the virtual keyboard.

• Select a type for this attribute.

• If this attribute will be a mandatory one to describe the

logged features, enable “Mandatory”.

• If applicable, set the additional one or two parameters.

• Tap on the Add button. This takes you back to the

Attributes tab where is now listed the attribute you have just created.

• Resume the previous six steps until all the attributes have

been created.

Label

This setting is used to select the label you want to see on the map screen, next to the features collected through that layer. The label can only be one of the attribute values pertaining to the feature. Choosing “None” means there won’t be any label displayed.

Showing/Hiding

Features on the

Map Screen

Scale

This setting is used to display or hide the layer on the map screen, depending on the current scale value used. The scale property of the layer operates as a threshold, which will order the layer to be hidden if the scale value on the map screen is less than this threshold.

• Tap Menu>Layers...

• Enable or clear the check box placed before each layer

name to respectively show or hide the layer on the map screen. Showing a layer means showing all the features logged in that layer.

Adding Existing Layers to a Map Job

• Open the job in which to add layers, using

Menu>Job>Open....

• Tap Menu>Layers. A new window opens listing all the layers currently attached to the map.

• Tap on the Add... button

• Tap on the Select an existing layer button

• Tap in the Type field and select “*.shp”, “*.csv” or “*.mif”. MobileMapper Field browses all the folders in search of all the layers of that type stored in the receiver.

• Select the file you want to add to the job as a layer. This opens a new window showing the viewing options, attributes and scale defined for this file.

• Tap OK. This takes you back to the screen showing all the layers attached to the job, including the new layer you’ve just selected.

• Tap OK to return to the map screen. The new layer is now available for feature logging.

NOTE 1: Adding an existing layer to a new job as the first layer in this job will cause the layer’s coordinate system to definitively become the coordinate system attached to the new job.

NOTE 2: Attempting to add a layer that is incompatible with the coordinate system used by the job will cause a warning message to be displayed. You can however override the message and ask MobileMapper Field to add this layer. In this case, be aware that the layer will contain positional information based on different coordinate systems. It will be your responsibility to identify which coordinate system is used in the description of each feature.

NOTE 3: “Type_M” SHP files created with third-party equipment or software may be added to a map job as a layer. You will be able to collect data using this layer but you won’t be able to access the “M” field specific to that type of layer.

English

Adding Background Maps

English

Background maps can be displayed on the map screen to help you better locate the different features found in the working area. Two types of background maps are supported:

• Background maps in vector format (OSM files)

• Background maps in raster format (ecw, bmp, gif, tif, jpg

or jp2 files)

In order to be used in MobileMapper Field, a background map must be properly georeferenced.

OSM files are “naturally” georeferenced due to their very nature. (To create an OSM file go to http://

www.openstreetmap.org/, follow the instructions to extract

the portion of map you need for your job, and then download it to your receiver.)

With a raster map, georeferencing may have been done earlier using a third-party tool or it can be done, using one of the two procedures below, after defining it as a background map in MobileMapper Field:

1. You know the coordinates of the reference points used to

georeference the image. You will have to tap successively on each of these points on the map. For each point, you will have to enter its coordinates.

2. You go to the field and stand successively on each

reference point used to georeference the image. (You should choose reference points that can easily be spotted both on the map and in the field.) You will have to tap successively on each of these points on the map. Each time, the receiver will automatically fill in the corresponding fields on the screen with the computed coordinates of your current location.

MobileMapper Field may accept several background maps, each holding a different geographical area. All logged features will always appear over the background map.

• Tap Menu>Options and then on the Map tab.

• Tap on the Add... button

• Tap in the Type field and select the format of the file containing the background map:

– ECW Enhanced Compression Wavelet (ecw) – Bitmap (bmp) – GIF (gif) – GeoTIFF (tif) –JPEG (jpg) – JPEG2000 (jp2) – Open StreetMap (osm)

MobileMapper Field then browses all the folders in search of all the image files stored in the receiver meeting the current Typ e selection.

• Tap on the name of the image file you want to add. This automatically adds the file to the list of background maps. A message will warn you if you are attempting to add an already georeferenced background map that uses a coordinate system different from the one used in the open job. If the image file needs georeferencing, MobileMapper Field will first invite you to make this georeferencing (see the procedure explained below).

In contrast, adding a background map in OSM format will never raise a warning message because, although originally in WGS84, the OSM file will be transformed to be always matching the coordinate system of the open job.

Like layers, each of the added background maps can be shown or hidden on the map screen. Set accordingly each of the check boxes placed before the names of the background maps (cleared= hidden, ticked= shown).

• Tap OK to return to the map screen. Note that the map screen will show the background map(s) only after the receiver can compute a position. Remember you may also have to press the ESC button (MobileMapper 100 or 120) so that the map screen can show the location of the first logged feature.

English

Georeferencing an

English

Image File

Georeferencing an image file means defining at least three reference points giving the position of the image in space.

Defining a reference point means entering its precise X-Y-Z or Lat-Lon-Height coordinates depending on the coordinate system used in the currently open job.

The larger the number of reference points you define, the more evenly distributed these points over the entire image, the better the georeferencing of the image.

To georeference an image, do the following after adding it to the list of available background maps:

• Select the name of the background map from the list.

• Tap on the Modify button.

• Find the point on the image for which coordinates are

known. Adjust the zoom setting and drag the stylus on the image if necessary.

• Tap on the point location and then enter its ID and

coordinates. If you are currently standing at that location and the receiver delivers a valid GPS position, you don’t need to enter any coordinates. The receiver will do that for you.

• Tap Add to enter and complete the definition of this point.

• Resume the previous three steps until all the reference

points have been defined. Each point on the map is represented by a red circle. If this happens, you can always delete a bad point by double-tapping on it and then tapping on the Delete button.

• Tap OK to complete the georeferencing process. This takes

you back to the screen showing the list of background maps.

More about

Background Maps

• The background map will be displayed only when it is

geographically close to the computed GPS position and the zoom is set properly.

• For large background maps, you may have to zoom in

several times before the map screen can start viewing details of the background map.

• If a background map is not properly georeferenced, the

background map will never appear on the map screen, and the reference points you incorrectly created on the background map will all be deleted. Try again, this time with correct point location and coordinates.

• It is highly recommended to place the original image file

used to create the background map in the same folder as the job file using it. Observing this rule will simplify the download procedure.

• When georeferencing an image, the original image file is unchanged and three new files are created:

Created files Designation

<image filename>.prj Coordinate system used

Auxiliary data. “xx” in the extension stands for

<image filename>.xxw

<image filename>.<image file extension>.ref.txt

the first two letters in the extension of the original image file (e.g. “JP” for a jpg file)

Coordinates of reference points and coordinate system used.

When the original image file is in TIF format, some of these three files may not be created.

Logging New Features

Automatic Manual

Continuous lines show actual paths traveled. Dotted lines show features, as logged.

English

Introduction For each new feature you log in the field, MobileMapper Field

allows you to set the following parameters, just before it actually starts logging the feature:

•On the Layer tab, you can choose:

– The name of the layer corresponding to the feature you

want to log (from the list of layers found in the job).

– For MIF layers, and for those contained in a DXF job,

the geometry (i.e. point, line or polygon) of the feature. This field is preset for CSV layers (points exclusively) and for SHP layers.

•On the Settings tab, you can set:

– The position averaging time at the end of which the

coordinates of a point feature will be logged. The longer the averaging time, the better the precision you get for each of your points. This implies staying still on the point throughout the averaging time.

– The automatic or manual vertex logging mode for a line

or polygon feature: In Automatic mode, the receiver automatically picks up the position of each of the points ( ) as you keep

walking along the feature. The logging rate i is preset and represents either the time elapsed or the distance traveled.

In Manual mode, you stop at each of the vertices ( ), on which the receiver computes a position averaged over n seconds

•On the Offset tab, you can set:

Right

Bearing

Left

d= Horizontal Distance

1. Log

2. Pause

5. Resume

3. Log

4. Stop

6. Stop

– The bearing, horizontal distance and vertical offset if

you wish to offset a point feature.

– The direction (left or right), horizontal distance and

vertical offset if you wish to offset a line or polygon feature.

MobileMapper Field also allows the logging of two features to be run concurrently (“double logging”). This can be done through the appropriate use of the Pause/Resume/Stop functions. Double logging is useful to reduce both the time spent logging features and the distance walked in the field.

English

Prerequisites

MobileMapper Field allows you to delete a logged feature directly from the map screen showing the location of this feature.

• The receiver is on and MobileMapper Field running.

• A Map job is used, which contains three SHP layers: a point layer named “Points”, a line layer named “Lines” and a polygon layer named “Areas”. All layers are set to be seen on the map screen.

• The units used have been set to meet your requirements.

• The reception status is good (number of satellites>6, PDOP<3). Especially for MobileMapper 6 and MobileMapper 10, optimum position accuracy is achieved in real time after waiting about five minutes of good

English

reception status. Then you can start collecting your first feature.

Logging a Point

Feature

Bearing

d= Horizontal Distance

Ground

Coord Sys

HF = HG - HA + VO

Where:

HF: Feature height expressed on coordinate system used (computed)

HG: GNSS height (measured)

HA: Antenna Height above ground (user set)

VO: Feature height above ground (vertical offset, user-set)

• Stand near the point you want to log.

• Tap Log (or press the “–” key underneath). A menu

appears listing all the layers in the job.

• Tap on the point layer name (“Points” in our example).

• Tap on the Settings tab and check or change the averaging

time expressed in seconds. As the last chosen averaging time is prompted by default, you may not have to view this tab every time you log a new point feature.

• To log the point with an offset, tap on the Offset tab and

enter the following parameters (for no offset, just check that the horizontal distance and vertical offset are 0 on this tab and proceed to the next step): – Bearing: This field is filled automatically either from

the GPS compass, the E-compass if this option is activated in Menu> Options> E-compass, at the time you access the Offset tab, or from the range finder, if there is one (see below).

If the E-compass is used, a valid measurement will be made if you take care to hold the receiver horizontally in the direction of the point feature, before you start logging the feature. If neither the E-compass nor a range finder is used, then the GPS compass can provide this value by default. A valid measurement will be made if you take care to steadily walk in the direction of the point

feature before you start logging the feature.

– Horizontal Distance field: Distance to the point feature.

If a range finder is used, tap on the Read Range Finder button once the range finder can provide valid measurements. This action will automatically fill in the Bearing and Horizontal Distance fields.

If no range finder is used, type an estimate of the horizontal distance directly in the field using the keyboard. The better you estimate the distance, the better the collected position.

– Vertical offset field: Height deviation from the physical

location of the feature to the ground, positive if above the ground, negative otherwise (see illustration).

• Tap OK. MobileMapper Field instantly starts averaging the point position, as indicated in the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. The screen also provides a detailed report of the current GPS status as the point position is being averaged (coordinates of computed position, number of satellites used, PDOP value, computation mode, age of corrections if applicable, HRMS and VRMS). Don’t forget to hold the receiver still throughout the averaging time.

There are basically two methods for completing the point logging sequence at this stage:

1. Either you wait until the averaging time is up and then

you enter the value of each attribute (1st method). See also Entering Values for Attributes on page 30)

2. Or you start entering the values of the attributes as

soon as MobileMapper Field starts averaging the point position (2nd method). This is the fastest method, especially if the averaging time is 10 seconds or more and/or there is a large number of user-set attributes for the point).To use this method, just tap the Attributes button in the lower bar, and then enter the value of each attribute.

When you are finished with entering the attribute values, depending on the requested averaging time and how long it took you to set the attribute values, MobileMapper Field will either return to the Averaging... screen (You were faster than the preset averaging time entering values of attributes) or it will directly switch to the attributes list (You were slower than the preset averaging time entering values of attributes).

NOTE: While the point position is being averaged. you are also allowed to shorten the averaging time if needed by tapping on the Stop button located in the lower bar. You will then need to confirm this request by tapping Yes.

English

• When the averaging time is up (and you have entered all

the attribute values if you have used the 2nd method), MobileMapper Field shows the complete list of attributes assigned to the point, the user-set attributes first, then the software-set attributes, if any. The averaged position of the point always appears at the bottom of the list (this position may be regarded an an unconditional, softwareset attribute). If you have used the first method, you should now enter the value of each “manual” attribute (see Entering Values for Attributes on page 30).

NOTE: The “Autonomous” position computation mode will be reported as “RAW” in the list of properties.

• Tap OK to return to the map screen, which now shows the

location of the point according to the representation defined in the layer properties.

NOTE: If some attributes are mandatory and you haven’t set them yet when you tap OK, MobileMapper Field will first ask you to set them in their order of appearance in the list of attributes before returning to the map screen.

Logging a Line or

Polygon Feature

• Stand at the beginning of the line or polygon you want to

log.

• Tap Log (or press the “–” key underneath). A menu

appears listing all the layers in the job.

• Tap on the desired layer name (“Lines” or “Areas” in our

example).

• Tap on the Settings tab and check or change the vertex

logging mode. As the last chosen mode is prompted by default, you may not have to view this tab every time you log a new line or polygon feature. Choose one of the options below:

– Automatic: Selecting this option means the receiver will

automatically log points along the line or polygon at regular intervals of time or distance. Enter the desired value for this interval, either in seconds or meters.

– Manual: Selecting the option means you are only

interested in logging the vertices of the line or polygon, and not points regularly distributed along the feature. Enter the position averaging time, in seconds, that you wish to spend on each vertex.

• To log the line or polygon with an offset, tap on the Offset

tab (otherwise skip this step) and enter the following parameters (for no offset, just check that the horizontal distance and vertical offset are 0 on this tab and proceed to the next step):

Left

Right

d= Horizontal Distance

Ground

Coord Sys

HF = HG - HA + VO

Where:

HF: Feature height expressed on coordinate system used (computed)

HG: GNSS height (measured)

HA: Antenna Height above ground (user set)

VO: Feature height above ground (vertical offset, user-set)

– Direction: this parameter tells the program whether the

real feature is on your left or right.

– Horizontal Distance field: Horizontal distance

perpendicular to the line or polygon feature. If a range finder is used to measure this distance, tap

on the Read Range Finder button once the range finder has got a valid measurement. This will automatically fill in the field.

If no range finder is used, type an estimate of the horizontal distance directly in the field using the keyboard. The better you estimate the distance, the better the collected positions.

– Vertical offset field: Height deviation from the physical

location of the feature to the ground, positive if above the ground, negative otherwise (see illustration).

• Tap OK. MobileMapper Field instantly starts logging the

feature. If you have selected the automatic vertex mode, start

walking along the feature. You will then see a line being drawn on the screen as you walk.

If you have selected the manual vertex mode, the receiver will assume you are standing on the first vertex and so it will log this vertex according to the chosen averaging time. You will then have to walk to the next vertex and then select Menu>Resume to log the position of the second vertex, etc.

• When you arrive at the end of the feature, tap Menu and select Stop. MobileMapper Field then automatically switches to the attribute list.

• Define each attribute for the line or polygon (see Entering Values for Attributes on page 30).

NOTE: Like point features, you can enter the values of attributes for a line or polygon not only at the end of the feature logging sequence, but also at any time while walking along the line or polygon. This can be done by tapping on the Attributes button located in the lower bar.

• Tap OK to return to the map screen, which now shows the location and shape of the feature according to the representation defined in the layer properties.

English

Entering Values for

English

Attributes

Depending on the type of the attribute, you will have to perform the following:

• For a text attribute, type your text using the virtual

keyboard and then tap OK.

• For a numeric attribute, type your number using the

virtual keyboard and then tap OK.

• For an image attribute, the following menu is displayed:

– Camera: Runs the camera utility so you can take a

picture. For more information on using the built-in camera, see HandHeld Platform for MobileMapper

120, ProMark 120 and ProMark 220 Getting Started Guide, Using the Camera, MobileMapper 10 Platform Getting Started Guide or MobileMapper 6 Platform Getting Started Guide.

NOTE: Picture attributes are saved as JPG files in the same folder as the layer they belong to. The file naming convention used is Img#.jpg where # is the picture number (1, 2, 3, etc.). The picture number is ascribed in chronological order, with no reference to any other file.

– View: Allows you to view the picture assigned to the

attribute.

– Select: Allows you to display a slide show of all the

pictures taken so you can choose which one to assign to the attribute.

– Remove: Allows you to disconnect the selected jpg file

from the picture attribute. This does not delete the picture itself, which is still present in the slide show.

• For a voice attribute, the following menu is displayed:

– Record: Opens the recorder bar from which you can

start, then, stop recording a voice message as an attribute of the current feature.

24 6

13 5

1: Drags the recorder bar. 2: Starts voice recording. 3: Pauses voice recording. 4: Plays back voice recording. 5: Stops voice recording. 6: Closes the recorder bar

– Play: For check purposes, select this function to play

back the voice message you’ve just recorded (equivalent to “4” button on recorder bar)

– Remove: Select this function to delete the existing

voice message. You will use this function when you wish to record a new voice message for the current feature.

English

NOTE: Voice attributes are saved as WAV files in the same folder as the layer they belong to. The file naming convention used is Sound#.wav where # is the record number (1, 2, 3, etc.). The record number is ascribed in chronological order, with no reference to any other file.

• For a “Yes/No” attribute, the default choice is “No”. Tap on the attribute name to change the setting and then tap OK.

• For a date attribute, the current date is automatically assigned (software-set attribute). To change the date, tap on the Date attribute and select the new date from the displayed calendar and then tap OK.

• All other software-set attributes are assigned automatically by MobileMapper Field.

English

Using the Pause/ Resume Function

While logging a line or polygon, you may want to pause data logging because external events require that you do so or you want to start the logging of a second feature (double logging feature) (see Double Logging on page 32). Follow the instructions below.

• Tap Menu>Pause to pause data logging.

• Later when you are ready to resume data logging, go back

to where you left the line or polygon, tap Menu>Resume to continue the data logging as you walk along the feature.

Double Logging While logging a line or polygon, you may want to log another

feature found along the way, whether a point, a line or a polygon. Follow the instructions below.

• Tap Menu>Pause to pause the data logging of the feature

in progress.

• Move to the second feature you want to log.

• Tap Log, select the layer of the second feature, make the

necessary settings and log this feature as you would in the usual case.

• Tap Menu>Stop when you are finished with the logging of

the second feature.

• Go back to where you left the first feature.

• Tap Menu>Resume to continue with the logging of the first

feature.

• Tap Menu>Stop when you are finished with the logging of

the first feature.

More about

Feature Logging

• The number of point features that can be logged in a

session is only limited by the memory capacity of the storage medium used.

• Up to 10,000 points can be logged in a single line or

polygon.

• When logging a long line or polygon, MobileMapper Field

will automatically save the data to a temporary file every 10 minutes of data logging.

If a power failure occurs while logging a line or polygon, the feature is automatically saved before the power failure. Because line and area features are saved automatically every 10 minutes of actual logging, if a power failure occurs unexpectedly and you have been logging a line or polygon feature for the last 15 minutes, then most probably only the first 10 minutes of the feature will be saved. If that happens, do the following:

– Insert a fresh battery or connect the receiver to an

external power supply.

– Turn the receive back on and launch MobileMapper

Field. This will re-open the last job open.

– Quit MobileMapper Field. Only from this this moment

can the job file be dowloaded to your computer with the last logged feature (line or polygon) fully restored.

• If MobileMapper Field fails to save a feature because there is not enough memory left, you can still delete unnecessary files and try again. Follow the instructions below when this happens.

– Minimize MobileMapper Field – Run File Explorer – Delete unnecessary files – Return to MobileMapper Field and stop logging the

feature. The feature will normally be saved if enough memory space has been cleared.

English

Repeating

Attributes

The Repeat Attributes function lets the receiver automatically duplicate the attributes from your last logged feature to the next one (mandatory attributes, if any, will also be duplicated). This will however be possible only if the next feature you want to log is of the same type as the feature you have just logged.

Follow the instructions below to use the Repeat Attributes function:

• Go to a feature, log this feature and enter all its attributes, as is normally done.

• Go to the next feature. After having tapped Log and made sure the same type of feature is selected, you will see the Repeat Attributes option appear at the bottom of the screen.

• Enable this option and tap OK to start collecting the feature data. When the receiver has finished collecting the data, the screen will display the position and attributes of the feature. Note that all the feature attributes are exactly those of the previous feature, which is precisely what you wanted to get.

• Just tap OK to complete the collection of the feature and proceed to the next one.

The Repeat Attributes function will help you work faster when logging a series of similar features presenting the same attributes. For example, the function will be useful if you are

English

collecting a row of trees of the same variety, same age, same health status, etc.).

Warning! The Repeat function does not apply strictly to Date & Time attributes. In fact the “repeated” Date & Time attribute will be set automatically to the current values of Date & Time and not to the values assigned to the Date & Time attribute of the previous feature.

Deleting Features

For some reason or other, you may want to delete a feature, whether a point, a line or a polygon. This is possible from the map screen showing the location of the feature:

• Through zoom and drag operations, adjust the view of the

map screen in order to see the location of the feature.

• Tap on the feature. This opens a new window showing the

properties of the feature.

• Tap on the Delete button shown in the lower bar. The

feature is deleted from the corresponding layer, after prior confirmation, and its location removed from the map screen.

Revisiting Features

Going Back to a

Feature

• Tap Menu>Go To.... The receiver allows you to go back to a

feature according to one of the following two methods:

1. Enter target coordinates: Choose this option if you want

to go back to a point feature for which you know the coordinates (latitude/longitude or Easting/Northing (X/ Y) depending on the coordinate system used in the map file). After you have entered the two coordinates, tap OK. This takes you back to the map screen.

2. Select destination from list: Choose this option if you

want to go back to a feature stored in the open map. First of all, you have to select the layer the feature

belongs to. Use the Go to drop-down menu to make this choice. As a result, the screen lists all the features contained in that layer. Features are listed from the nearest to the farthest from your current location. Select the desired one simply by tapping on its name. This takes you directly back to the map screen.

Whatever the method used, you can now see, on the map screen, a yellow/red segment connecting your current position to the feature.

For a line or polygon, MobileMapper Field will draw a segment between your current position and the point in the line or polygon the nearest to you.

In the lower bar, you can read the distance and the bearing to the feature.

• Walk in the direction indicated on the screen until you reach the feature.

If the voice guidance is activated (see Menu>Options, Voic e tab), right/left instructions as well as the distance to the feature will be issued at regular intervals of time as vocal messages.

English

Editing a Feature When the map screen displays the feature you want to edit

and you know which changes need to be made to its attributes, do the following.

• Tap on the feature symbol.

• When you see a bold orange line surrounding the feature,

release the stylus. The program then displays the list of attributes pertaining to the feature.

• Edit the attributes that need changes and then tap OK. In

the case of a point feature, you are also allowed to update its position by tapping on the Update button located in the lower bar. Before tapping on this button, make sure you are located exactly over this point as this will launch a new position averaging sequence for your receiver’s current position.

Find Feature

Function

MobileMapper Field allows you to search for a particular feature you logged in a map. MobileMapper Field will ask you to indicate the layer it belongs to, and optionally, the known value of one or more of its attributes. As a result, MobileMapper Field will list all the features meeting your requirements.

• Tap Menu>Find.... MobileMapper Field displays one of the

layers present in the map as well as the names of the different attributes attached to that layer.

•In the Find field, select the layer type of the feature you

are searching for.

• Optionally, tap on each of the attributes for which you

want to define a specific search criterion and then enter it.

• Tap on the Find button to start the search. MobileMapper

Field will list all of the features in the map which meet the search requirements.

From this list you select the desired feature and see where this feature is located on the map screen. In addition, by selecting Menu>Go To..., MobileMapper Field will give you the option of navigating to this feature.

Upload/Download Functions

Using the USB data cable provided with your receiver, you can exchange data between the receiver and your office computer.

With Windows 7 or Vista running your computer, no particular settings are required. With Windows XP (or older), use the following settings in ActiveSync to make the connection automatic at receiver power up:

Use the procedure below to copy files from one unit to the other:

• MobileMapper 100 or 120: – Place the receiver on the docking station – Connect the docking staon to your office computer

using the USB data cable.

• MobileMapper 10: – Connect the receiver to your office computer using the

USB data cable.

English

• Turn on the receiver.

• Wait until the connection is active.

• Do the following, depending on the OS used in your computer:

– (Vista) In the auto-run window that opens, choose the

option to explore the mobile device

– (Windows XP or older) In the ActiveSync window, click

Explore.

• From either of these windows, you can copy any file from the receiver to any folder on your office computer, or the other way around, using the usual copy, paste and browse functions.

Coordinate Systems

English

Choosing a

Coordinate System

When creating a new DXF job or when creating a layer as the first layer in a new *.map job, MobileMapper Field asks you to define a coordinate system.

Proceed in this order:

1. Choose the World Geodetic System or the country where

your field operations will take place

2. In the field just underneath, choose the datum used

3. In the field just underneath, choose the projection used.

4. Choose the vertical datum in the last field. The default

possible choices are: – Ellipsoid: Each altitude or height value is simply

determined with respect to the selected ellipsoid (second field above).

– EGM84: Each altitude or height value is still initially

determined with respect to the selected ellipsoid but a correction is applied to that value. The correction is read from the EGM84 geoid (Earth Geoid Model 1984, a global geoid model) and is specific to the computed horizontal position.

Other geoid models may be downloaded to the receiver via the MobileMapper Software CD from our website. Once downloaded, they are made available as possible choices in the Vertical Datum field.

The Properties... button at the bottom of the screen allows you to view the properties of the selected datum and projection.

The New... button at the bottom of the screen allows you to create a user system (datum + projection).

Defining a User

System

• Tap on the New button.

• Select the type of projection you wish to use in your coordinate system. Depending on that choice, you will have to enter a certain number of parameters.

Remember every time you create a new projection and you have to enter the latitude and longitude of origin, or the central meridian, these must be expressed in degrees with eight decimal places (ddd.dddddddd). On the other hand, false eastings and false northings should always be expressed in meters, even if a different unit has been selected in the Units field on the same screen.

• After you have named and defined your new projection and datum, just tap OK to save the new system and choose it as the system used in the current job. This will take you back to the coordinate system selection screen on which you will now be able to see how the new USER coordinate system has been defined (new projection and datum names displayed in the second and third fields respectively).

English

Viewing the

Properties of the

Coordinate System

Used in a Job

• Tap Menu>Job>Properties.

• Tap on the Coordinate System... tab. The screen now shows the non-editable settings for the coordinate system used in the map. Tap on the Properties button to read the details of the datum and projection used in the coordinate system.

GNSS Toolbox

English

GNSS Toolbox is a software application that is separate from MobileMapper Field. It is used to control and monitor GNSS reception in MobileMapper 6.

From the Start screen, tap on the GNSS Tool Box icon or tap on GNSS Tool Box on the Today screen. This opens the tool box main menu in which four options are listed:

• GNSS Settings

•GNSS Status

• Reset

• About

GNSS Settings

•Open the GNSS Tool Box and double-tap on GNSS Settings.

This opens a new window where you can make the following settings:

– Tracking mode: Only GPS L1 is available with

MobileMapper 6.

– Use SBAS check box: Check this box to enable SBAS

reception. When this box is cleared, SBAS reception is disabled.

• Tap ok to confirm your choices and return to the GNSS

Tool box main menu.

GNSS Status •Open the GNSS Tool Box and double-tap on GNSS Status.

This opens a three-tab window.

The default Position tab shows the three coordinates of the current position, as computed by the receiver, as well the number of satellites used, the current PDOP value and the position computation mode used.

The unit used to express the current altitude (meters or feet) depends on the region (language and country) you selected in Start>Settings>System tab>Regional Settings.

•The Satellites tab displays a polar diagram showing the locations in the sky of the tracked satellites.

•The Signal tab shows the signal level for each of the tracked satellites. Green-blue bars indicate satellites used in position computation. Grey bars only indicate satellites being received but not used. Red bars on the right indicate the SBAS satellites that are currently used.

GPS satellites are numbered from 1 to 32. Usually, SBAS satellites are numbered from 120 to 138.

Reset •Open the GNSS Tool Box and double-tap on Reset. A

message directly asks you if you want to reset the receiver now. Use this option only if you think the receiver is not working properly.

Unlocking the

Post-Processing

Option in the

Receiver

This is done by entering the POPN that was emailed to you after you purchased the option.

• In the email containing the POPN, click on the link

provided. This takes you to a web page on the Spectra Precision website from which you are invited to unlock the post-processing option in your receiver.

• Connect the handheld receiver to your computer through

a USB connection and turn it on. Wait until the connection is active.

• Go back to the computer and click on the link provided on

the web page. This installs/launches the Option Manager utility program.

• Click Next>.

• Enter the POPN provided in the email.

• Click Next>, then click Finish twice. The post-processing

option is now unlocked and ready for use.

Logging Raw Data Here are a few key points that will help you understand how

the raw data logging function operates in your receiver.

• A raw data file is created per job. It is saved in the same

folder as the job file.

•With the Record raw data for post-processing option on, raw

data logging will start automatically when enough satellites are received (>3). Raw data logging is effective when “REC” is displayed in MobileMapper Field’s status bar (see Getting Started With MobileMapper Field on page 4).

NOTICE. It is a good practice to wait about 1 minute from the time at least 4 satellites are received and the PDOP is less than 3 before you start logging your first feature. (You don’t need to be static during this wait time). The amount of extra raw data will advantageously be used in MobileMapper Office to secure the post-processing of your features.

• MobileMapper 100 or 120 raw data files are named as

follows:

xnnnnsyy.ddd

Where:

Parameters Description

nnnn Last four digits of the receiver serial number

yy Last two digits of year (“08” for 2008) ddd Day number in year (1-366)

“A” for A-files (Auxiliary Coordinate files), or “G” for Gfiles (ATOM raw data files)

Session number (A, B, C,... X). Incremented every time a new working session is created on the same day.

NOTE: The auxiliary coordinate file created during a working session uses the same naming convention. Only the prefix is different (“A” instead of “G”).

• MobileMapper 10 and MobileMapper 6 raw data files are named as follows:

nnnnyymmddss.grw

Where:

Parameters Description

nnnn Last four digits of the receiver serial number yy Last two digits of year (“08” for 2008) mm Current month number (1-12) dd Current day number (1-31)

grw File extension

Session number, starting from 00. May consist of more digits, if necessary.

English

NOTE: The coordinates file created during a working session uses the same naming convention. Only the extension is different (”crw” instead of “grw”).

• During raw data collection, even if you are not logging any feature but just moving from one feature to another, remember you should keep holding the receiver at an angle of 45° above the horizontal.

• Never switch the receiver to suspend mode while collecting raw data (this would end raw data collection). If you want to save battery power while collecting data, you may turn off the screen backlight. However, if you are also using the e-compass while collecting raw data, remember the backlight setting must be left unchanged. It must stay as was set when you last calibrated the e-compass.

• Always collect raw data for at least 10 minutes, including for those projects where GIS feature collection can be completed in less time. Remember the more you collect

English

raw data for a given project, the better the results of the post-processing will be.

• Coming back to Menu>Options, Recording tab after starting

logging raw data allows you to read the name and path of the raw data file being created. This information appears underneath the Record raw data for post-processing option.

• A warning message will pop up if the memory goes low

while collecting raw data.

The different areas are described below: – [1]: Open/Create Map button –[2]: Menu bar – [3]: MAP filename and Layers list – [4]: Map screen showing the content of the open

project, Also includes zoom buttons on the left and distance/angle/area tool buttons on the right.

– [5]: Depending on what is currently selected in area

[3], [4] or [6], this area shows project properties (coordinate system and units used), layer attributes and appearance, or raw data file properties (observation time span, etc.). When selecting a feature on the map screen, the sound and image attributes pertaining to the feature can be heard and viewed by clicking on the three dots button after the file path in the corresponding field. Clicking on this button will start your computer’s default editor used for respectively WAV and JPG files.

– [6]: Observation times covered by the raw data files

added to the project. A blue bar stands for a receiver raw data file, and a yellow bar, for a base raw data file.

• Click and select Open. Browse to the folder containing your field data files.

• Select the Map file and click Open. MobileMapper Office shows the content of the project in areas [3], [4] and [5] (see screen above).

• Click on Add Rover Raw Data. Select the raw data file corresponding to the project (from the same folder as previously) and click Open. MobileMapper Office imports the *G or GRW file and then shows the file properties in areas [5] and [6].

• Assuming you are working with a third-party reference station, click successively on Add Reference Raw Data then From Web (your computer is supposed to have an Internet connection). A new window then opens in which you have to indicate how you wish to search for the reference station you will use for post-processing your project.

English

• Choose one of the following two search criteria: – Search up to x stations: Specify a preset number of

stations you want to list before choosing one. All the listed stations will be the closest to your working area, but there is no range limit for these stations.

– Search up to x km: Specify a limit of distance between

your working site and the stations. The shorter the distance, the better the raw data from the station, but the smaller the number of stations that can potentially be used.

English

• Click Search, then wait until the search is complete. At the

end of the search, MobileMapper Office lists the stations meeting the search request.

• Select the most suitable reference station, mainly

according to the distance (baseline) to that station.

• Click Download. MobileMapper Office imports the base

raw data and then show its properties in areas [5] and [6]. NOTE: Spectra Precision does not guarantee 100%

quality results when using raw data files from reference stations that are situated beyond 200 km (125 mi) from your working area. It is also important to check that the downloaded base data offer at least the same type of raw data as the rover. If for example, the rover data are GPS/ GLO L1 data, then the base data should be at least GPS/ GLO L1 data. The post-processing may otherwise be degraded to a certain extent.

• Click on Start Processing. MobileMapper Office post-

processes the different files present in the project. Below is an example of what can be seen in the Layers pane at the end of the post-processing step:

For each layer (<Layer_name>) present in the project MobileMapper Office has created two extra layers:

– <Layer_name> (Final): This layer is viewed by default. It

shows all the features of the <Layer_name> layer, namely those that have just been post-processed, for which you can now see the refined positions on the map screen, and also those not impacted by the postprocessing, whose positions are unchanged compared to what they are in the initial <Layer_name> layer.

– <Layer_name> (Post-processed): This layer is not viewed

by default. It only contains the features that were actually post-processed. You may choose to only view this layer if you wish to focus on the sole postprocessed features.

(The “initial”<Layer_name> layer is also hidden by default.You may want to view this layer to see all the features as they were before the post-processing step.)

MobileMapper Office has also added two different vector layers to the project. Each vector describes the conditions in which the baseline between each post-processed point and the base station used has been determined. The resulting components of the vector are also provided. The two vector layers are:

• Vectors (QC Passed) (in green): The vectors pertaining to

that layer meet all the quality control parameters defined on the Options tab (see Quality Control in Post- Processing on page 50).

• Vectors (QC Failed) (in red): None of the vectors

pertaining to that layer meets the quality control parameters defined on the Options tab. If the layer is empty (no red vectors), then that means all the points were post-processed successfully.

English

Each vector can be edited individually. Just select one on the map screen and the properties of the vector will then appear In the right-hand pane (see example below).

All new layers have been created –and can be found– in the same folder as those initially found in the project.

NOTE: DXF and AXF job files, MIF and CSV layers are not supported in this version of MobileMapper Office.

Quality Control in

Post-Processing

You can place a quality control filter through which MobileMapper Office will rate the post-processing results according to your own requirements. Following the postprocessing of your project, MobileMapper Office will associate the resulting vectors to two different layers: one containing the vectors that passed the quality control (green vectors), and a layer containing those that failed (red vectors).

• Click and then on the Options button located in the

lower-right corner of the pop-up window.

• Enter your three quality control settings, i.e. the maximum

permitted values for HRMS, VRMS and PDOP. (see screen example below).

• Click OK to confirm your filter settings. All the vectors for which the HRMS, VRMS and PDOP are

less than those specified here will pass the quality control whereas all the others, if any, will fail.

Note that the quality control filter is applicable to all the projects you open in MobileMapper Office, until you modify the filter settings. To remove the filter, you just need to set the three fields blank and click OK.

Note also that the PDOP characterizes each point when it was logged (the PDOP is re-calculated by MobileMapper Office, based on the content of the job file). In contrast, the HRMS and VRMS are part of the post-processing results and characterize the post-processed positions.

Export Function MobileMapper Office can export the visible layers from the

open project to three different formats:

• GPS exchange format (*.gpx). ALl the selected layers will be merged into a single gpx file. Point features will be converted into waypoints, lines and polygons into tracks.

• Google Earth format (*.kml). All the selected layers will be merged into a single kml file.

Opening a kml file from the Google Earth initial view will cause the Earth representation to be gradually rotated and zoomed in to show the exact location of the features held in the kml file.

English

• ASCII format (*.csv). Each selected layer will result in a

separate csv file.

Follow the instructions below to export layers:

• Open your project.

• Make visible the layers you want to export (turn on the

corresponding check boxes). As background maps will not be exported, they can stay visible in the project.

Re-Project

Function

• Click on and then select the format and destination

of the file(s) generated by the Export function.

• Click Save to complete the Export sequence.

MobileMapper Office can convert the entire content of a project into another project, with all the original coordinates converted to another coordinate system.

• Open the project you want to convert

• Click and then select Reproject As.

• Define the coordinate system in which to convert the

entire project. This definition includes the choice of the

linear unit used to express all the coordinates (meters, feet or survey feet), then click OK.

• Then name the resulting project (this will automatically define a subfolder for this new project) and click OK. Wait until the conversion is complete. MobileMapper Office then shows the newly created project.

• Undo Post-processing: If the post-processing results do not meet your expectations, you can reverse to the original SHP files by selecting the Undo Processing command.

• Zoom settings: In addition to the zoom buttons in the menu bar and on the map screen, MobileMapper Office offers another useful way of adjusting the zoom setting. Double-click on a feature in the map screen. This takes the feature to the center of the map screen. You can then adjust the zoom setting around the feature, which stays at the center of the screen, using the mouse wheel (turn forward to zoom in, turn backward to zoom out).

• Viewing the background map: Background maps are seen as layers in the project. Use Add Layer>Select Existing. In the Open dialog box, choose “Raster file” as the file type and then select the background map file. MobileMapper Office supports the following raster formats: bmp, gif, tif, jpg, jp2 and ecw. Select a raster file and click Open.

If this is the first layer inserted in the job, MobileMapper Office will ask you to define the coordinate system used. At this point, you can choose the linear unit used in the coordinate system (meters, feet or survey feet).

If a layer already exists in the project when you import a raster layer, there may be a message warning you about the coordinate system used by the background map, if not exactly the same as the one used in the layer. You may choose to go on anyway if the two systems are not very different. If you accept a background map using a very different coordinate system, its resulting location on the map screen will be inaccurate.

• Status Bar: The status bar is located at the bottom of the main window. Whatever the feature selected on the map screen, the status bar displays the coordinates of the selected point.

For a line or polygon feature, the status bar additionally shows a sliding bar allowing you to move the cursor on the map screen from one point to the next or previous point using respectively the “plus” or “minus” button at the two ends of the sliding bar.

English

The location of the cursor on the sliding bar is representative of the position of the selected point in the line or polygon.

• Layer Editor: MobileMapper Office also allows you to edit

SHP files in a way much similar to MobileMapper Field's Edit/Create Layer function.

– When creating a new layer from scratch in

MobileMapper Office, a new window will open (see below) asking you to define attributes for the new layer. If you are familiar with creating attributes in MobileMapper Field, using this window will be no problem.

– Selecting a layer in the left-hand pane allows you to

read or change the visual aspect of all the features pertaining to that layer (features shown in the central pane, if any) and read the details of each of its attributes in the right-hand pane.

– Selecting a feature in the central pane allows you to

read the values of its attributes in the right-hand pane.

• Measuring distances, angles and areas on the map screen: Use the three icons in the right-upper corner. The upper one is for distances, the second one for areas and the lower one for angles.

For each tool, the first click on the icon will activate the tool and change the cursor shape. The second click will turn off the tool and the cursor will recover its initial shape. You may also press the right-hand mouse button to deactivate the tool.

Distance measurement: – Click on the first point from where to start the distance

measurement.

– Click on the second point defining the first measured

segment. Any new click on the map will create a new segment from the previous point. From the second point, the indicated distance value stands for the total distance measured from the start point.

– Anticipate the end of measurement by double-clicking

on the last point. This will freeze the distance measurement.

English

– Click on to quit the distance measurement tool.

Area measurement: Same as distance measurement. The area measurement is effective only after you have defined three points on the map. The value of perimeter is also provided.

Angle measurement: – Click successively on the first then on the second point

defining the segment providing the reference direction. The tool then draws the angle measured and gives its current value as you move the mouse cursor on the map screen. If you click anywhere, the tool freezes on the angle defined by this last click and gives its value.

English

– Click on to quit the angle measurement tool.

• Deleting a Feature: Select a feature on the map screen

that you want to delete, and then click on the Delete button in the menu bar. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete this feature.

• Adding base raw data from a file: This function is

convenient when the useful base raw data files have already been downloaded from the Internet or if they come from a reference station that is not connected to the Internet. In either case, click on Add Reference Raw Data>From File and select the base raw data files.

• Editing the Coordinates of the Base Station Used: You

may need to edit the coordinates of the base station before starting the post-processing. As shown on the screen below, just click in the row (in the lower panel ([6]) containing the base data file. You can then edit the base coordinates in the right-hand panel ([5])

• Removing a layer from a map: Select the layer in area [3]

on the screen and press the Del key or click on Remove Layer.

• Shortcuts: From Windows Explorer, double-clicking a map

file (*.map) will directly open the file in MobileMapper Office. All the files that can potentially be layers in MobileMapper Office can be dragged & dropped in the open map file (equivalent to selecting Add Layers>Select Existing)

E-Compass & External Device

Enabling/Disabling

the E-Compass

Calibrating the E-

Compass

• Tap Menu>Options.

• Tap on the right-arrow button several times until you unveil the E-compass and External Devices tabs.

• Tap on the E-compass tab.

• Set the Use electronic compass to determine orientation button to enable or disable the E-compass. The compass

calibration is described in the section below.

Calibrating the E-compass is a two-step process during which you are asked first to rotate the receiver anticlockwise in horizontal position and then turn the unit upside down until a beep is heard.

This procedure should be run with the receiver powered from its internal batteries rather than an external power source.

• Tap on the Calibrate button.

• Read the instructions and then tap on the Start button.

• Wait until the arrow outside of the compass starts rotating slowly clockwise. Rotate the receiver anticlockwise in order to maintain the arrow in your direction. You will have to perform three to five rotations until the inside of the compass is completely dark blue. Try to be as accurate as possible as this will speed up the calibration process.

Note that the arrow momentarily stops every 30 degrees or so before continuing its rotation.

• When the inside of the compass is all dark blue and after the arrow has come back to the South direction, a message asks you to proceed with the last step of the calibration.

• Tap ok in the message window and turn the receiver upside down on a horizontal surface. Wait a few seconds until a beep can be heard.

• Put the receiver the right way up. A message on the screen indicates that the calibration is complete and successful.

• Tap ok in the message window. This takes you back to the E-compass tab of the Options screen.

• Tap ok to return to the map screen.

Recommendations

English

for E-Compass

Calibration

The E-compass being a very sensitive sensor, Ashtech recommends you adhere to the following recommendations.

• Calibration should always be performed:

– Outdoor, not indoor. – On a flat horizontal surface, not in your hands. – From within MobileMapper Field rather than from

within MobileMapper Today.

– In the same operating conditions (i.e. same backlight

level, with/without SD card) as those you will work in later when you collect your GIS data.

For screen backlight, this means the two options controlling the backlight function on the Battery Power tab of the Settings window must be cleared for the calibration phase, but also as long as you need to use the e-compass. (The Settings window is accessible from the third icon on the MobileMapper Today toolbar or through Start>Settings>System tab>Brightness icon)

• During calibration, make sure all compass sectors become

dark blue.

• Always recalibrate the E-compass in the following cases:

– After changing the batteries. – Whenever you suspect the E-Compass to deliver

incorrect values.

E-Compass Vs.

GPS Compass

In fact, the receiver has two compasses:

•The e-compass. which can be used independently by

MobileMapper Field and MobileMapper Today. It can even be used by both at the same time.

•The GPS compass, which is the default compass used by

MobileMapper Field when the e-compass is not activated. (The GPS compass information is a by-product of the GPS position computation.)

Follow the recommendations below to know which compass should be used, depending on what you are doing:

• Measuring bearings with the E-compass requires that the

receiver be held in horizontal position. On the other hand, the GPS sensor requires that the receiver be held at an angle of 45° from the horizontal. A good compromise is therefore to orientate the receiver 20 to 25° from the horizontal. If the bearing measurement is most important to you, you can temporarily place the receiver horizontal until you get a valid bearing measurement.

• Using the E-compass is recommended for static occupations (lines/areas in vertex mode and points). The GPS compass is recommended for trajectories (lines/areas logged in automatic time or distance mode).

• E-compass readings stabilize after a few seconds. When logging a point feature after a walking period, please hold the receiver horizontally and wait a few seconds before starting logging the feature.

• Tagging a picture file with bearing information: After taking the picture, you should hold the receiver horizontal for a few seconds before saving the picture. This will allow the E-compass to deliver a valid bearing measurement.

English

Setting an External

Device

After establishing a Bluetooth connection with the external device used in conjunction with your receiver, do the following:

• Tap Menu>Options.

• Tap on the right-arrow button several times until you unveil the External Devices tab.

• Tap on the External Devices tab.

•In the Ty pe field, select the name of your external device (3M Dynatel Locator or LTI TruPulse 360).

• Set the virtual port number and baud rate used to let your receiver communicate with this device.

• Tap ok to enter your settings and return to the map screen.

Voice Setting

English

For best quality voice recording, you need to change the default voice sampling setting as follows:

• From the Start button, select Programs.

• Double-tap the Notes icon. If this action directly opens a

note file, please close it before proceeding.

• Tap Menu>Options.

• Tap on the Global Input Options hyperlink.

• Tap on the Options tab.

• Select “44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono (86 KB/s)” from the

Voice recording format drop-down list.

• Tap ok to enter the new setting.

• Tap ok twice to return to the Today screen.
