Creating a new point
From the home screen, click Edit.
Click Points.
Click Add to create your starting point.
If working in a local coordinate system, it is good practice to use something like 5000, 1000, 100 (or something similar) as your starting point.
Some users may use different values for northing and easting, making it easier to differentiate between the two. Click the green check mark to save.
You will now see the created point under your points list. Click the home button to return to the main screen.
