Software/Hardware Protocols: Creating a data dictionary for the GPS unit

This allows you to label features specifically as opposed to using generic features

  1. Open GPS Pathfinder Office
  2. Select or create a project name
  3. Utilities > Data Dictionary Editor
  4. Name the data dictionary (such as Low Tide Data)
  5. Create a New Feature (button in lower left corner or F3)                                                                                    i.e.  Low tide line - using a line feature will allow you to give it a text attribute such as tidal height
  6. When finished adding new features to dictionary:                                                                                                  Utilities > Data Transfer                                                                                                                                        The program will scan to see if the GPS unit is attached
  7. Choose the Send tab
