Create object with GPS points
From Wikiagro.com
It allows to draw objects by entering geographical coordinates.![]()
1. Select the layer where you want to draw the object.
2. Click on the icon Create object with GPS points. A window will pop up, where you will be asked to enter the coordinates.
3. Select the way you will enter the coordinates: in Decimal Degrees (i.e. -31.500000) or Degrees, Minutes and Seconds (i.e. S 31ยบ, 30' 00").
4. Enter the latitude coordinates (N/S) of the first point (if the input is in decimal degrees you need to write the "-" sign in front of the number; but if the input is in degrees, minutes and seconds, after typing N or S you should leave a blank space before typing the value, in case that it has two digits). Use the TAB key to input longitude (E/W).
5. Press the Enter key or click on + to add the point to the list.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to input all the points that define a object (in case it is a line or a polygon). If the object is a line you need to enter the two points that define the line, and at least three points for a polygon.
6. Click on Add to create the object on the selected layer.
