To create a project

Before creating a project, you must connect to the GNSS receiver you will use to obtain GNSS positions for the project.

  1. In the Project list, tap . The Create project screen appears.
  2. Enter the project name.
  3. Select the project template to use or create a new template. See iFeature templates.

  4. If required, enter any tags for the project.

    If you have a large number of projects on the device you can filter the Project list using tags.

  5. If required, enter a comment for the project.
  6. Tap Next.
  7. Define the coordinate system settings for the project:
    1. Select the System. To view more detailed information about the selected coordinate system, tap Info.
    2. Select the Zone, Datum, and Geoid. By default the software shows a selection of systems, zones and datums appropriate for your location. To view more options, select the Show all CRS check box.
    3. By default the Show at startup check box is selected, so that the coordinate system settings are shown each time you start the software. To prevent this from happening, clear the Show at startup check box.

      To avoid issues with your data, do not change the coordinate system once nodes have been added to the project.

    4. Tap Next.
    5. If prompted to download files for the coordinate system you selected, tap Download.
  8. Define the GNSS settings:
    1. Select the manufacturer of the GNSS receiver.
    2. If required, select the model of the connected GNSS receiver model.
    3. If the selected receiver requires a Bluetooth wireless connection, tap Bluetooth. The software scans for nearby devices. From the list of available devices, select the receiver to connect to.
    4. If required, select the real-time correction service to use for receiving real-time corrections or set up a new one.
    5. Tap Next.
    6. Set the GNSS quality settings to exclude GNSS positions that do not meet your quality criteria.
  9. Tap Done.

    The project map appears.
