Beginning with GPS2CAD Version 3.5, a new Import/Export "Engine" is provided. This feature allows far greater flexibility and compatibility with other sources of data. 

 

Importing Points:

• AutoCAD - this is an upgraded feature from earlier versions of GPS2CAD. It allows you to import points from the AutoCAD drawing that is currently running into the main grid. From here they can be uploaded to the GPS unit or viewed on the maps.
• Garmin's MapSource program - This popular program is frequently distributed with their GPS units, or is available separately. GPS2CAD will import files that are EXPORTED from this program (not their saved project files)
• Magellan's MapSend program - This program is available from Magellan and is used to manage waypoints and maps. GPS2CAD will import files that are EXPORTED from this program (not their saved project files)
• Other sources - A complete import "Wizard" is provided to work with generic text files that are  created by many other industry standard programs.

 

Exporting Points:

• .dxf - The most popular format for exchanging data between programs. Using this will allow you to use GPS2CAD with many other programs such as AutoCAD LT., IntelliCad, TurboCAD, and others
• Access 2000 Database - points are exported in a .mdb file
• Text File - comma or tab delimited text files can be exported
