6.6.1.2 GPS Selection of ID
If the user desires to locate the monitoring point via GPS, then follow the instructions detailed below:
1) Stand at the location to be monitored – The first connection may take several minutes for the
GPS to lock after the handheld computer is first turned on. Each location after this should be
instantaneous.
2) Tap the GPS button on the handheld computer’s touch screen.
3) Once the “GPS” button is pushed a status message will be displayed above the Site text box
that will indicate “Reading GPS”, then either “GPS not locked”, “Site/ID selected by GPS”, or
“Failed to find GPS match”.
4) The handheld computer will automatically populate the “Site” and “ID” text box with the
nearest monitoring point.
5) If the GPS does not find a monitoring point, then the status will change to “Failed to find GPS
match”. If the ID is known, the user can manually select the “Site” and “ID” then tap the
“Well ID Maintenance” button to mark the GPS coordinates for that location. Instructions on
how to use the “Well ID Maintenance” function can be found in section 6.9.1.
