Navigate to the trait you want to collect data on by using the navigation arrows.

To automatically navigate to each plot using GeoNavigation, tap the "GeoNav" icon shown below so it is no longer X'ed out.

You can start moving around the field and Fieldbook will automatically navigate to the plot closest to where it was GeoTagged. It will send a notification indicating it has navigated to that plot as shown below.

Record the data as you normally would.
