 Clear ALL downloaded internet imagery - Select this tool to delete all temporary
background imagery that you have downloaded using SMS Mobile. This will not
delete images exported from SMS desktop to SMS Mobile or images that were
manually imported into SMS Mobile.
 Download internet imagery for ALL fields - Select this tool to download
background imagery for ALL fields in SMS Mobile that have a set field boundary
and that don't already have one of these images downloaded.
Marks Setup
There are a 8 possible marks that can be setup and used in SMS Mobile. The marks each
have a unique button that is shown in the Map Toolbar when a Mark is checked as active.
Mark Names can be edited and the custom name will log with your data when a Mark is
selected. When displayed on the map Marks will use a standard set of mark icons, the
same as is used in SMS desktop software; they will NOT use the Mark button icon when
display on the map.
As a general note, Marks only log a single mark per selection, they do not log
continuously when selected. Each press of a Mark button or selection from the MENU
will only log one mark.

or Metric units.
