button), the User Zoom Extent button will restore the view of a specific area on
the map that you will have chosen beforehand.
Setting the User Zoom Extent button:
• Adjust the map view so that the area you are interested in entirely occupies
the screen (use the zoom buttons and drag the map accordingly).
• Once this is done, tap and hold anywhere on the map view and select Set
User Zoom Extent. A red frame appears encompassing the entire view,
meaning you have now defined your “user area”.
From now on, tapping will always takes you back to the display of the
user area, whatever the various zoom/drag changes you may have made in
the meantime. Whenever the current zoom & pan setting allows it, the red
frame will appear showing the size and location of the user area on the
current map view.
Clearing the User Zoom Extent Button:
• Tap and hold anywhere on the map and select Clear User Zoom Extent. The
user area no longer exists (the red frame disappears from the screen).
From now on, the button has recovered its default function, which is
to set the map view so that all the points stored in the open job can be
viewed on the screen.
“Follow-me” Function
When you are holding a GNSS rover or a prism, you may want to keep your
current location always visible on the map screen.
This is the purpose of the Follow-me function, which will pan the map so that
your location as you walk around can continuously be seen on the map view (it
will be shown as close as possible to the map center, usually within an area
representing three quarters of the map area around its center).
• To activate the Follow-me function, tap and hold anywhere on the map and
select Set “Follow me”.
The symbol used to represent your location is a small arrow pointing in your
walk direction. About every 4 seconds, and for about 1 second, it is
replaced with a GNSS antenna or prism icon, depending on the surveying
mode currently used. A gray cross-hair will appear centered on your location
clearly indicating that the Follow-me function is on (the cross-hair will
always be the same size whatever the zoom setting).
• To deactivate the Follow-me function, tap and hold anywhere on the map
and select Stop “Follow me”. The gray cross-hair is then removed from the
screen.
• The Follow-me function will automatically be stopped whenever you
manually drag (pan) the map to such an extent that your current location
on the screen is moved outside of the centered “three-quarter area” on the
map view.
