Recording GPX Data
Understanding
GPX Data
Recording in
MobileMapper
Field
MobileMapper Field allows you to save all the instantaneous
positions computed by your receiver to a GPX file. Here are a
few key points that will help you understand how the GPX
data logging function operates in your receiver:
• As soon as GPX data recording is enabled, every single
position computed is unconditionally saved to a “gpx.gpx”
file stored in \My Documents\Ashtech\. The recording rate
is therefore 1 second. Each position is saved as a distinct
waypoint, irrespective of whether this position is part of
the point, line or polygon feature you are currently
collecting.
• As long as GPX data recording goes on, all instantaneous
positions are saved as waypoints belonging to the same
track segment.
• GPX data recording may be interrupted either by
intentionally disabling this function during a working
session or by quitting MobileMapper Field. If you re-
enable the function during the same working session, or if
you-re-start MobileMapper with the function enabled,
then the next positions computed by the receiver will be
saved as waypoints belonging to a new track segment.
• The gpx.gpx file is an endlessly concatenated file. It
should be transferred to your office computer whenever
needed. Starting a new GPX file implies that the current
one should be deleted.
• GPX data collection is job-independent. Changing job
during a working session has not impact whatsoever on the
recording function.
• A sample of GPX file format is given below.
