MxGeo app transfers data between ArcGIS Desktop & Garmin
GPS
March
2, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- MxGeo recently released MxGPS
9x, a user-friendly application to transfer data between ESRI's
ArcMap application and Garmin GPS handheld devices.
GPS data
can be downloaded directly into ArcMap and stored in shapefile
or geodatabase format. Downloaded data is automatically projected
into the same spatial reference as the map. If required, a
datum transformation is applied to ensure the best possible
results.
Map features
such as points, lines and polygons can be easily uploaded
to the GPS as waypoints or track logs. Simply select the layer
and features that you require and click 'Send to GPS'. The
data will then be available on the GPS unit.
MxGPS
9x requires ArcGIS Desktop (ArcView, ArcEditor or ArcInfo)
version 9.0.1 or above. Garmin GPS units can be connected
using a serial (COM) port or USB connection. For ArcGIS 8
users, a functionally identical version is also available.
MxGPS
costs $65 US and includes free minor version upgrades. Educational
institutions are eligible for an Academic Lab License. This
allows the institution to install and register MxGPS on up
to 25 computers within a single lab. For more information
or to download a a trial version, see the MxGeo web site.
