# How to Stake Out Points

since Input 1.3.0

Points in your survey layers can be staked out. Mergin Maps Input will navigate you towards the selected point showing you the direction and distance.

There are two stake out modes:

  • long navigation mode
  • short navigation mode

  1. Select a point in your map window. From the form select the Stake out icon:
