Hi Matt, good first edit, I'd circle back and clean up the typos. Also, I think you should step by step the offset on the fly procedure since there is a very specific way to do this, and it's not by going through the Cogo Screen. Nate if you're reading this you're going to like it.
Step one, put a Offsets white button on your Collect Action screens in all your Action group Setups.
*Step two, when you're about shoot that witness big cypress tree, press the white button for offsets, which takes you to the Cogo Screen
(don't go there directly from the Home Screen or a U button you gotta use the white box in the collect action screen.)
Step three, Select Direct (the only usable option.) Tap the P field in the upper right that has coordinates in it, and this should return you to the collect action screen, survey where you are standing, and when you accept it, it will ask you if you want to create a new point, CLICK YES, I'll repeat that, Click YES. *Before I take step two I usually change the point name with a high point name for filtering later on, but it's important to create this surveyed point because J-Field seems to use it as a quasi base point for the offset point you're creating, thus it can get adjusted along with it. That's just my theory, and I could be very wrong, but I had problems when I chose No.
Step four, tap the bearing/azimuth field, then tap set by compass, and voila! Your front camera comes up with a target crosshair which you point at your tree, then press the big green check button to lock it in, tap apply at the bottom of the screen.
Step five pull out your disto, hand tape, or whatever and enter your offset distance in the next field below.
Step six the bottom P field will allow you to edit the point name, description, for the tree, or whatever that want in the right place of your drawing.
When all's good tap create, and it will come back with a success message.
