[. . . ] Browse for Starfish. cor, select it and then click Open. By default, this is the export folder in the current project. In the Choose an Export Setup group, select Sample ESRI Shapefile Setup. Make sure that the GIS Coordinate System group shows the Latitude/Longitude coordinate system. If the coordinate system is incorrect, click Properties and then select the Coordinate System tab in the Export Properties dialog to change the coordinate system. To export a . prj projection file with your files, click Browse next to the Projection Files field and then navigate to the location of the . prj file and select it. If you do not want to export a . prj file, or if you cannot locate a file, then skip this step. 6. 7. 8. Click OK to close the Export Properties dialog. Click OK to export the selected file(s) using the specified export setup. 1 26 TerraSync Software Getting Started Guide Tutorial: Collecting Data 5 9. The Export Completed dialog details the results of the export. The file is now in the format required for you to open it in your GIS. B Tip ­ Use the Batch Processor utility to increases productivity by automating repetitive tasks such as data transfer, differential correction, and export to GIS. When you return to the office, connect the field computer to the office computer. The Connection Manager utility automatically recognizes that a field computer is connected and runs the Batch Processor utility. For more information about these utilities, refer to the GPS Pathfinder Office Software Help. TerraSync Software Getting Started Guide 127 5 Tutorial: Collecting Data Exercise 5: Preparing for data update Note ­ You cannot update imported data files using the TerraSync Standard edition software. With the TerraSync software version 4. 10, if you also have CoPilot Live 7 Professional for Trimble TerraSync software, or TomTom Navigator 6 turn-by-turn navigation software installed on the device, the TerraSync software automatically switches to the navigation software to navigate to the selected target, then switches back when you have arrived at the destination. To continue using the TerraSync software for navigation as covered in this tutorial, go to: Navigation \ Options \ Turn by turn \ Turn by turn navigation, and select "Off ". For more information on using Turn-by-turn navigation software with the TerraSync software, refer to the TerraSync help. Some time has passed and you must return to Starfish Bay to check the condition of the traffic signs. You will navigate to each sign using the TerraSync software and a real-time correction source. You will then use the Seaview data dictionary to verify and update the attributes for those features. This part of the tutorial gives step-by-step instructions to follow before you go into the field to update data. See: · · · Creating a data dictionary from existing data files, page 128 Importing data from a GIS into the GPS Pathfinder Office software, page 130 Transferring data to the field computer, page 133 Creating a data dictionary from existing data files Note ­ This step is necessary only for the tutorial. Normally, before collecting any data, you would create a data dictionary on a desktop computer, and then use the Data Transfer utility to copy the data dictionary to the field computer. Alternatively, you would create a data dictionary in the TerraSync software. [. . . ] GPS time is directly related to UTC. UTM Universal Transverse Mercator Map Projection. A special case of the Transverse Mercator projection. Abbreviated as UTM, it consists of 60 north/south zones, each 6 degrees wide in longitude. vector A vector graphic is a graphical image consisting of mathematical descriptions of lines, points, and areas. When you transfer an SSF data file to the TerraSync software as a background file, its attribute information is removed, leaving only the vector information. [. . . ]
