Adding points to the map or grid is a simple process.

 

• Press the "Add Points" toolbar button. The Add Points window will appear
• Check the settings on the Add Points window:

        * Name - if you want a specific name, enter it here. If not, you can use the default

        * GPS Symbol - select the symbol for the point or series of points you are about to enter

        *Comment - enter any comment for the point

        * Add to Grid - if checked the point will also be added to the currently selected main grid

        * Add to Map - if checked the point will be added to the map you are clicking on - (you                         probably want this checked)

        * Auto Number - especially useful if you are going to enter several points. This lets you click                 continuously, and each name is appended with a consecutive number.

        * Keep on top - forces the window to remain visible as you work.

 

The same "Add Points" window is used when adding points to the maps or the grid. However when using in the map window, it is not necessary to press the "Add" button. You can simply place the Cross hair pointer over the location desired and left click. All the point information will be added automatically, based on your settings. The "Add" button is more useful when working from the main window, adding points to a grid.
