Parenting is a powerful built in feature of Orbitas Field that allows the user to seamlessly collect line data in conjunction with location data. The Parenting system within Orbitas Field will by default “Parent” your current location to the previously collected location. This essentially creates a "line" that can be further enhanced.
There are two methods of changing your parent location within Orbitas.
