When selecting coords popup.

[Nate The Surveyor]

When selecting coords, from list, for various purposes, we get a popup, with N,E,Z.
This is quite redundant. Superfluous. Not needed.
Now, when selecting a coord, we can see a few characters of the Point Description. We really need to see MORE of the Point Description. Maybe 15 or 20 characters. Think in terms of two people on a job, one is running the LS, (Jr crew member) and the other is thinking, (field boss) and deciding what's next. Boss says: Jr, how far is it between the fence cor, by the creek, to the rock pile by the road? He never asks "how far is it from N,E,Z, to N,E,Z? He really does not care about that.
More info we USE, and NEED, and less info we don't use and need, in the field.
What do you think?
As a temporary, even adding the POINT DESC. to the popup, would be better than it is. But, long term, no popup is best.
Thank you,
Nate

I agree Nate. We need to see code, attributes and descriptions. If it is done as a slider, like the coordinate system details box in coordinate systems, it should be able to show all of this information.

I agree with both of you.

It would be ok also, to turn off any of those, (code, attribute, or desc) so that what is needed for that job, is not requiring us to slide the screen, to view. User select, what is displayed, and the order they are displayed.
User select how many characters of point desc. Would be quite good.
Thank you,

I use the custom point display almost exclusively. It should display as set in the menu settings. No different from point screen.
