Appendix B: Exchanging Plot Data with a GPS Unit
You can add plot locations to your Garmin GPS unit and also download tracklogs from your GPS and
add them to a map layer called GPS_track:
1.
2.
3.
Select all the blocks you wish to download GPS data for so they can all be exported at once.
Select the GPS button from the map window.
Follow the on-screen directions.
** Notes:
· Your plots must be uniquely named within a block (multilayer plots OK).
· Plot names cannot be longer than 4 characters.
· Survey Wizard cannot remove waypoints or tracklogs from your GPS.
· The waypoint names will be the plot name prefixed with an alphabetically assigned code to
ensure that each block's plot waypoint will be unique (example: A1=1st block plot #1, A2=1st
block plot #2, B1=2nd block plot #1, etc.). This naming scheme makes it possible to load the
plots for multiple blocks at once.
· You should periodically delete old tracklogs from the GPS to limit the amount of data to be
transferred.
