iFeature templates

The iFeature template defines the data model used for the project, including the iFeature classes, map layers, symbols, and GIS data lists used. You can use different templates for different applications, for example, you could set up a utility template and a local government template.

The template does not define any GNSS quality settings. GNSS quality settings are set at the project level, not the feature level.

Generally templates are created in the office and then sent to the field device with the project. Any templates used by projects sent from the office are also available for you to use with new projects. In addition, the following default templates are provided with Penmap:

  • Example
  • QuickStart

Usually you would not need to modify the template in the field. However, you can create templates or modify existing templates on the device, if required.
