There are now 2 pages of white Boxes. I guess it did not occur to me, that this could go on, to be multiple pages. Blows me away. It's really really good.

On to (What I am known for) another idea.... Please, don't throw a brick at me... I am so spoiled. Ask, and ye shall receive...... wow! (Sometimes, that is!)

Anyway, I'd like a white box, with an UP arrow, and one with with a DOWN arrow.
For use in stakeout. (For us primitive guys, who have not figgered out all the bells and whistles...)
So, we stake point number 3501. Then, hit arrow up, and it stakes the NEXT one in sequence, such as 3502.
Each time we hit the arrow, it ratchets up, (Or down) one point by sequence.
The way it is, we LONG press the TARGET point, and then have to key in 3 5 0 2. It would be nice to just hit the UP or DOWN arrow, and that would allow us to toggle to the next point number. In fact... those buttons are large enough, so that RIGHT half could toggle up, and the LEFT half toggle down.... O well, either way, it would be nice...
Thanks!

Nate

Well, not exactly... I either dont have it in my version. Or, it's not a white box. It's maybe where you set up a points list, in sequence, and toggle through the list. But, that would be a black box.
Gotta go read the manual.
What it is... Well, it's not in mine now... Or its not a white box.

Yes.. And it seems to only have prev, not next.
Which seems to indicate that it has to be set up with a list... And it's a "git er done" day, not a "figure out my LS" day.

I usually use From Map to select points to stake, just because it's easier than navigating the points list or typing a number. After selecting the point from the map and staking it, it would often be nice to be able to increment the target number with a Next button and move on to the next point in the points list. But the Next button disappears in From Map mode, and the Prev button isn't any help, either. It just says Sequence Completed.

I think this is what Nate is asking for. Anyway, it's what I think would be useful.

John Thompson, that's right. But, as useful as what you said, (and I said) seem at this point... I still have to figure out whats ALREADY there.
Thanks everybody.

You just need to set the stake sequence mode to "Alphabetic" and Next and Prev will be active.

We also have a "Select From Map" white box option that can be added and will allow points to be selected from the map in any stake sequence mode.

Looks like that does the trick!

There are a number of welcome improvements in this version, some of which I've noticed, and some I'm sure I'll continue to find. Thanks, guys, for continuing to improve this system.

I don't have this version when I check for updates (mine's 2.0.5.1011). I see the update if I switch to pre-release. When will the new version be available for regular release? I'm assuming I don't want to use pre-release versions.
