Stretching transect line

When you measure a transect in the field it is not always possible to establish a straight line. You can fix this by pressing the “Stretch line” button. Field-Map uses measured points on transect line and moves them (changes their x and y co-ordinates) to a new position. Z co-ordinates are not changed.

  1. First measure the transect line on the Map form
