[. . . ] In the Base Data group, select Base Provider Search: b. Click the Select button next to the Base Provider Search text box. 86 GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide Tutorial 4 The Select Base Provider dialog appears: The dialog displays a list of available base providers. The list is arranged by distance from the location where the field data was collected, so that base stations closest to the location where the data was collected are at the top of the list. For this tutorial, we have set up an FTP site for the tutorial base data and named it "GPS Pathfinder Office v4. 20, tutorial base files". Click the "GPS Pathfinder Office v4. 20, tutorial base files" provider (near the top of the base provider list) to select it, and then click OK. · If you do not have access to the Internet, use the base data files in the base data folder of the Tutorial project: a. In the Base Data group of the Select Base Data page of the wizard, select Folder Search. The path and folder name of the Base folder for the Tutorial project should already appear in the box below the Folder Search option. GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide 87 4 Tutorial b. If the correct path and folder name is not shown, click the Select button next to the Folder Search text box. The Folder Search dialog appears. c. Click Browse to navigate to the base folder that is defined for the Tutorial project. Click OK. d. The dialog closes and you are returned to the Base Data page of the wizard. The base provider, or the path of the folder you selected, is displayed in the text box below the Base Data option you selected. 8. In the Reference Position group, select Use reference position from base files. 88 GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide Tutorial 4 9. Make sure that Confirm base data and position before processing is selected to allow you to verify base station accuracy. 10. The output files will be stored in the GPS Projects\Tutorial folder, because that is the project folder you have specified. That means that if you recorrect the SSF files, each subsequent corrected file will have _n appended to the filename, where n denotes the next number in the sequence. The differential correction process starts. GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide 89 4 Tutorial 15. When you are satisfied that the base data has been correctly and completely downloaded, click Continue. 90 GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide Tutorial 4 As the GPS Pathfinder Office software begins differentially correcting the selected SSF files, the Differential Correction Processing page of the wizard appears: It displays details about the status of the differential correction process. The Differential Correction Processing page displays the number of corrected positions for each SSF file. When the last SSF file has been processed, the message Differential correction complete and a summary of the estimated accuracy values gained for the corrected GPS positions appears at the bottom of the Differential Correction Processing page. This summary provides immediate feedback as to the quality of the corrected GPS positions. For example, if a base station with a low integrity index has been selected for multi-base processing, the results will indicate this by showing large estimated accuracy values. GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide 91 4 Tutorial 16. The contents of the Differential Correction Processing page are saved as the Differential Correction report. The report is stored in the project folder. 92 GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide Tutorial 4 Exercise 4: Viewing and editing the data You now need to visually check the data before you export it to a GIS or spatial database. This is to confirm that all the expected data is there, and to look for any unwanted positions. This exercise shows you how to: · · · · · · · · open the data files select a coordinate system display the Map window display the Time Line window load the background files configure the Map window view the attributes of a feature view the offset of a feature GPS Pathfinder Office Software Getting Started Guide 93 4 Tutorial Opening the data files You must open the data files in the GPS Pathfinder Office software to view them.

For example, to check the status of the Web Map Server, visit the URL using a Web browser or contact the Web Map Server host directly to check for any known problems or server downtime. Remove the existing URL from your Backgrounds list and create a new Web Map component for the same server using the Web Map wizard. When reconnecting to a Web This may be because of problems with the Web Map Server, you may Map Server. [. . . ]
