point description will appear before any new point is
stored.

the rod height will appear before any new point is stored.
; Survey with True Azimuths : when checked, angle
rights will be referenced from true north when
traversing.
;
Adjust for Earth Curvature / Refraction : when
checked, the elevations for new points are adjusted to
compensate for the curvature of the earth and refraction.
; Prompt for Layer : when checked, a prompt to select a
layer will appear before any new point is stored from
only the routines under the Survey menu.

Prompt for Attributes : when checked, a prompt to select feature
information will appear before any new point is stored from only the
routines under the Survey menu. This also requires that a feature file
be selected from the Files Settings card, described above.

&RPSXWH 6FDOH : this button and the following item can only be used
with a job that contains geodetic coordinates and a map projection
has been configured while in GPS Mode. This button will compute a
scale factor based on the current map projection.
; Prompt to Reset Scale on New Setups : if checked when a map
projection is selected and you set up over a new location, the specified
scale factor is compared to the scale factor defined for your current
location in the mapping plane. If the scale factor is different, you will
be prompted to use the new scale factor.
