ABSTRACT:
A data recorder and method for automatically displaying connections between feature icons as like features are recorded in the field. In setup, feature codes for identifying features of interest are entered and stored. In field operation, geographical features are recorded by entering the feature codes and either entering geographical locations for the features through a keypad or receiving the locations through an I/O interface from a location apparatus. A display shows the features as icons at points having geometrical relationships corresponding to the geographical relationships of features. During the field operation, a microprocessor executes instructions in a line update program for display a line from the icon for each newly recorded feature as it is recorded to the icon for the last previously recorded feature having the same feature code, and from there to the second last previously recorded feature having the same feature code and so on, so that all the icons representing features having the same feature code are connected.
