Create a point of interest

Tap the 'Drop POI' button on the right side of the main page to open the Point of Interest (POI) page. This allows you to set POI at your current location, which can be useful to refer to later. Collecting a POI records the entered name and your current latitude, longitude, and elevation.

'Name' - Tap here to enter a name for the POI.

'Create Benchmark' - Toggle this to record the current location as a benchmark. Creating a benchmark for a project after the fact is normally not advised, as it does not improve your accuracy. Due to GPS drift, it may increase error! But it can improve repeatability. When collecting a benchmark, it is very important that you do so on a flat area without wheel ruts that won't get cut or filled, with the blade on the ground, and that the spot is identifiable in some way. Ideally, the ground surface should be stable and memorable, so that next time it is easy to find and has the same height. Good locations are a roadway near a gate, a concrete pad, or another marked location.

This option should not be your primary method of zeroing for projects (unless creating a custom plane).

'Create' - Tap this button in the lower right to create a POI on the map at your current location (details shown in the center of the view). Ensure you are located at the desired GPS location.

Lowering the blade to the ground is recommended to save an accurate elevation.
