shows your current position and the direction you are
moving. You will also see the distance to the object near
the top of the map area. The top of the screen is always

Synchronizing Data with the Desktop Computer
When you have collected mapping data on a mobile
computer, you synchronize it with the desktop computer
according to the schedule you have worked out.
Synchronizing Multiple Mobile Computers
Data from more than one mobile computer might be
used for a project. Here an example of how the process
could work (your process might be different):
1. At the end of the day, each mobile computer is
connected to the desktop computer and collected
data is synchronized with the desktop project being
worked on. Each mobile computer does this in turn.
2. Once the data from the all the mobile computers
is synchronized with the desktop computer, each
mobile computer, is connected to the desktop
computer again, in turn like before, to get a complete
set of data that includes updates from the other
mobile computers.
3. The desktop project now has all the data from all the
mobile computers.
4. The process is repeated daily or according to your
schedule.
5. When the project is complete, maps and reports can
be created from the desktop computer.
