3M dynatel m-series Manuale Utente

5.  Turn on the 3M™ Dynatel™ M-series Locator and go to the Marker locate 

mode.  If the GPS unit is disconnected or has not acquired enough 
satellites to give a position, the 3M™ Dynatel™ Locator will display "Insert 
External Device".  After the GPS unit has acquired a position, the 3M™ 
Dynatel™ Locator will display the latitude and longitude coordinates.   

6.  When  a marker has been located, wait 10 seconds for the Thales™ unit 

to acquire and average positional data, then press the Read key on the 
3M™ Dynatel™ Locator.   

 
When the marker is read: 

•  Mode 1 (NMEA):  the marker data and GPS coordinates will be displayed 

and saved to the Locator's memory.  This data can be uploaded into 3M

TM

 

3M™ Dynatel™ PC Locator tools and added to your database.   

•  Mode 2 (GIS):  the marker data and GPS coordinates will be displayed 

and stored  in the Locator’s memory.  The marker data will also be sent to 
the MobileMapper™ GPS device to be stored in its memory.  The 
MobileMapper™ screen will display that the marker has been logged.  
This data can be uploaded to MobileMapper Office™ where the 
appropriate file(s) can be exported to mapping software. 

7.  When finished, push the Menu key on the MobileMapper™ and close the 

mapping for this job.  The logging job may be reopened to add new 
markers. 

 

 

1.  Connect the MobileMapper™ GPS device to the PC's Com port and turn 

the unit on. 

2.  From the MobileMapper Office™ toolbar, select File, Download from GPS.   
3. From the MobileMapper™ Transfer -> PC window, select File, GPS 

Device via Cable (or click on the Connect icon).   

4.  Once the connection has been made, drag the job file (*.MMJ) from the 

left pane of the window (GPS device side) to the right pane of the window 
(PC side).  The file should be transferred.  Close the MobileMapper™ 
Transfer window. 

5.  From the MobileMapper Office™ toolbar, select File, Open and open the 

logging job file.  Icons for each marker located during the job should be 
displayed. 

6.  Clicking on the individual icon will display the marker data, GPS 

coordinates and other information in the right side window.
