Managing GPS
Coordinates with TDS

Survey Pro for Windows CE uses a binary file with the extension
*.job. A .JOB file point record will contain a point name, plane
location (N, E, Z), and a description. It may also contain geodetic
coordinates for points calculated, imported, or measured with GPS, as
well as poly lines, alignments, layers, attributes, and automatic line
work structures.

This section describes different ways to manipulate geodetic
coordinates with both Survey Pro and Survey Link. Survey Pro
Manual Mode and Edit Points describe how to edit and utilize
geodetic coordinates for projection calculations. Import GPS
Coordinates describes how to merge a *.CR5 file and the *.GPS file
generated with a DOS localization. Survey Link Import and Export
describe how to use Survey Link to convert sets of plane and geodetic
coordinates to and from ASCII and/or .CR5 files.
