Creating a point feature using the incoming GPS coordinates involves the following
steps:
- Select a point layer for editing via the Start/Stop Editing tool or the Table of
Contents.
- Activate the GPS.
- Tap the GPS Point button on the Edit toolbar to create a point feature.
- Type in attributes for the new point feature.
Tip
Enabling GPS position averaging for points: GPS position averaging
for points is enabled in the Capture page of the GPS Preferences dialog box. You can
also specify the number of GPS positions for ArcPad to average.
Tip
Typing in attributes during position averaging: You can type in
attributes (in the Attributes page or a custom edit form) without waiting for the
position averaging to be completed. This is particularly useful if you have specified a
large number of GPS positions to average. ArcPad will stop averaging after the required
number of GPS positions has been received and averaged. Averaging will stop once you
have tapped the ok button.
