Summary: The
main Mapping Stages, Stage 2 (TrackMaker) and Stage 3 (DrawPlus) are
demonstrated to show how easy each stage is. The survey data used in
the videos is available for download so that you can try it out.
Survey Data:
There are 4 small files that can be downloaded.
File #1 is a pdf survey log document describing the features.
File #2 is a .gpx file of waypoints taken when surveying the field
boundary.
File #3 is a .gpx file of waypoints taken when surveying
archaeological features.
DP8 Symbols.dpp / DP X3 Symbols.dpp are used to setup DrawPlus with
archaeological Line Styles and Gallery Graphics.
See below:
NOTE the archaeology is fictitious and used for DEMO purposes only.
