as you create new waypoints. You can scroll this table horizontally and edit each
of the cells if necessary. The second column (Name) contains a check button
allowing you to show/hide each waypoint icon & name on the Map Display area.
● Create Waypoints from Waypoint List
Another quick way to create new waypoints is using the aforementioned

waypoint table.
-. Right-click anywhere over this table and select “New Waypoint” in the
pop-up menu. As a result a new waypoint is added in the waypoint table with
default parameters and “zero” coordinates.
-. You can then edit each value to complete the definition of the new waypoint.
The waypoint will then appear on the map if it is within the shown map area.
83 / 117
● Save Waypoints
To save waypoints, you just need save the current open job. When you do that
and there are waypoints in the job, GIS Office will create a separate “.gmw” file
containing this list of waypoints.
● Find a Waypoint on the Map
Unistrong GIS Office helps you locate a waypoint rapidly.
-. In the waypoint table, right-click on the row containing the definition of the
waypoint and select View. The map is then moved accordingly within the Map
Display area so as to put the waypoint in question exactly in the center of the Map
Display area.
● Editing/Deleting Waypoints
Waypoints can only be edited or deleted individually from the waypoint table.
(You cannot select a waypoint by clicking on its icon in the Map Display area)
To delete a waypoint:
-. Select the row containing the waypoint you want to delete.
-. Right-click on the row and select “Delete”, pop-up user confirmation dialog,
if you select 【Yes】 button, then Waypoints are deleted instantly.
You can also delete all the existing waypoints and routes through a single
operation by selecting the “Clear All Waypoints” option from the “Tools” Menu.
84 / 117
4.4.4.2 Route
● Create a Route
After you have created a number of waypoints as explained in the previous

chapter, you can now define routes graphically.
Follow the instructions below to do this.
-. On the toolbar, click “Build Route” button, there will open a new window in
the right-upper part of the window where Unistrong GIS Office automatically
creates a new route named “Route 1” if it‟s the first one. Note that Unistrong GIS
Office continues to display the waypoint table in the lower window.
-. Come back to the Map Display area and click on the waypoint that you want
to define as the route‟s start point.
-. Then click on the second point and third, etc. Every time you click a new
waypoint, “Finish” is displayed next to this waypoint. You may click the right key of
mouse on any other place to end the definition of the route.
-. You can edit the name of the route by Right-click the “Route 1” and select
85 / 117
“Modify the name” in the popping up menu. You can also remove a waypoint from
the route by right-clicking on it and selecting Delete. The Map Display area will
then update to reflect that change in the definition of the route.
● Save Routes
To save the routes, you need save the current open job. When save a job with
waypoints/routes displayed on the Map Display, Unistrong GIS Office will newly
create a separate “.gmw” file containing the waypoints and routes list. If there is
no job displayed, save the waypoints/routes as a new job file. Any time you want
to import these waypoints/routes into any other job, click on “File ->Import”.
● Edit route
Click 'Tool'->'Edit Route/Waypoint', then the route list and waypoint list will
appear on the right side of the window. Click the right key of mouse on the route to
be edited, there will pop up several options:
1. Select 'Modify name', you could modify the name of route as explained
before.
2. Select 'Add waypoint', you could add new waypoint as explained before.
86 / 117
Left click on '+' in front of any route name to show all waypoints in this route. Then
right click on the waypoint to edit:
- Select 'Delete', there pop up message 'Are you sure to delete this waypoint?'
Click 'Yes' to delete or 'No' to cancel.
- Select 'Add waypoint' to add any new waypoint.
- Select 'New route' to create a new route.
- Select 'View' to look over the whole route in map region.
● Delete route
In the route list, right click the route to delete. There will pop up a message
'Are you sure to delete route?' Click 'Yes' to delete or 'No' to cancel.
Delete a route won't delete the waypoints in the route.
● Route View
This option will show the whole route in the current window.

option via mouse right-key.
● View
In the “Track setting” dialog, click 【View】 button. The map is then moved
accordingly put the track exactly in the Map Display area.
4.4.5 Feature Library Editor
GIS Office allows you to create new feature type libraries via Feature Library
Editor.
Feature libraries are standardized as templates that guide field operators

when describing the features they are mapping or inspecting.
A feature library includes a number of feature types that will be either mapped
or inspected. Each feature type is described according to a set of attributes. In
fact, it will be the task of field operators to provide an attribute value for each
feature, depending on what they see or measure when they visit this feature.
There are four different geometries for feature types:
1. Point
Point feature types are such as trees, buildings or road lamps. Field operators
89 / 117
should log point features in static mode, i.e. they should stay stationary at these
points for at least one second.
2. Line
Line feature types are such as roads, rivers or pipelines. Field operators
should log line features in kinematics mode, i.e. they should start logging this
feature at the beginning of the line, and then move along this line until to the end
where they should stop logging data.
3. Area
Area feature types are like crop fields, gardens or lease boundaries. Field
operators should log area features in kinematics mode, i.e. they should log along
the borderline of the closed area until they arrive the point where they start.
4. Grid
This feature type defines an array of evenly distributed waypoints where field
operators record observations or make measurements using some instrument.
There are three different types of attributes:
1. Numeric style
The attribute value can only be within a pre-defined range of numeric values.
2. Text style
The attribute value is in text form and should not exceed the permitted length
(less than 20 characters).
3. Menu style
The attribute value is selected from a user defined menu of preset values or
phrases.

4.4.5.1 Create New Feature Library
● Create new feature library
On the menu bar, select “Tools” - “Feature Library Editor”. This will open the
Feature Library Editor window in the center of the screen.
In the Feature Library Editor window, right-click on the feature library name
and select “Insert Feature”. A new dialog box will open and you can define the first
feature type for the library:
-. Enter a name for this feature type in the Name field.
-. Indicate the type of the feature. For example, if the feature is a tree, select
Point;If it‟s coast line, select Line; If it‟s lake, select Area; If it‟s a network of point
locations where measurements will be taken to create a contour map, select Grid.
-. Click the 【Add】 button. The Insert Feature Type dialog box is display to
make it easier to add a series of feature types to the library.
-. Indicate the type of the second feature as explained above and then click
the【Add】 button.
91 / 117
-. Repeat the above steps until all the feature types have been defined.
-. After defining the last feature type, click the 【Close】 button.
Different feature types have different tables of feature types. In the left window,
click on the feature type name you want to edit. There will display the Feature
Type table on the right.
