If Localization is available as a hard button I see no need for it on the Home screen. I'm with Jim.

I agree with this reasoning. I was trying to think of which home screen button could be sacrificed to make room for Localization (which is not necessary if it has a hardware button). I never use the Data Exchange button - I always get to it from Files or Points. But Data Exchange is a basic function that merits a spot on the Home screen. I suppose if room needs to be made on the Home Screen (and I'm not sure it does), there are other buttons that could be moved inside the System button or a third Home Screen could be added.

I vote for Data Exchange on home screen. We use it every single day. We transfer all data to/from the LS through google drive so Data Exchange is a top tier button.
As a side idea suggestion regarding codes:
What if the traditional grid view was used but the top row of buttons toggled between customizable categories. Essentially like customizable pages of codes.

A home screen and hardware button for localization are both dead ends. You can create the localization but not change the page or project coordinate system to that localization after it is created. You can create a localization from the screens where you change the project or page coordinate systems so why not just do it there?

Us too! Daily. Multiple times a day in fact. We use it out in the field on the job multiple times.

I do create the localization there when I'm importing a deed description or prior survey, usually in the form of linework in a dxf file. I'm referring to the need to access the localization multiple times in the field to add each point as it is collected and link it to a corner of the linework on that page.
Like this.

Thanks for implementing these suggestions. That was quick.

Unless I misunderstand what you are suggesting, that is exactly how I use the Category to show button. My codes are categorized and it's one more click than what you describe, but it works well for me.
The new "list view" for codes shows all of the attributes at a glance which looks to me like it's more useful when initially setting up codes than using them in the field, which got me to thinking... Would it be possible to copy the attributes from one code to another? Or possibly copy a code with all its attributes and rename it? That would help me standardize some of my codes without having to make the same change in multiple places.
Also, the ability to switch between grid view and list view of codes has given me some hope that some of the other lists in J-Field could (maybe optionally) be converted to buttons and thus be more compatible with my fat fingers and old eyes. I'm thinking of lists that are accessed in the field like Antenna Profiles, Action Profiles, and Code Attributes.
We hide the parameter in the user mode. By default the parameter has "0" value (unlimited distance). It could be that in your profile it has a different value. You can set an engine parameters to the default values by pushing the "To Default" button on the bottom row of the screen.
Could you explain your workflow in more details - collecting points, collecting with offsets, CoGo or something else?
He's describing the bug where the point number doesn't advance in the offset screen.
I have noticed that too.
I found a bug: after collecting a point in Offset mode, the name of the resulting point does not increase. Do you mean this case?

Can anyone elaborate on the settings for the predefined profiles?

Charles,
It is my understanding that the purple profiles are "Stock" profiles. They cannot be "used" or edited, only copied and then used. It seems the idea is that you have a backup in case you change something by accident and want to start over with these. So, I copied both of them and give them our company name NuSouth Canopy, NuSouth Open. Hope this helps.
