Description
Map File The Map File will have the same file name entered for the Job Name. The file
name can be changed to better describe the application. All mapping functions,
Lines, Points, Hazards, and Polygon will be stored in this file as a .gmf on the
PC Card.
Background File The Background file is a file that has been create prior to the mapper session
and has been transferred to the root directory of the PC Card. An example
would be points or hazards mapped during a product application such as rocks
that the operator would like to return to pick up. The background file can also
be a boundary file (.bnd) The files format excepted for a background are (.gmf,
.bnd).
Base Map File The Base Map File is similar to the Background file but uses a GeoTif file (.tif).
This file is usually downloaded from the internet and placed on the root direc-
tory of the card. A .tif file is just a picture with georefrenced coordinates to pro-
vide location. Typical Base map files are elevation maps, and roadway maps.
Collection Intervals The Collection Interval is how often data is written to the PC Card. The selec-
tion can range from 1/sec to 5/sec.
