iMapIt First User Guide

This is a guide to help you on how to use the function of
surveying areas, paths or points information, using the
iMapIt application, and better explorer its characteristics.

This screen is used to collect and save the geographic
coordinates of your real global position. These coordinates
can be save as a sequence of points, but also they can be
connected and organized as a line, or path, or also can be
connected to build the limits of an area or terrain.

your actual global position. This coordinates come from the GPS

point, or a point of a path, or a polygon vertex to build the boundaries
of an area or terrain, depending on how this function is setup to.
