GPSmapper and GPSgrabber 2.3
GPSmapper and GPSgrabber Publisher's Description
Generate detailed maps using PDA with GPS
GPSgrabber will allow you to use your PDA with GPS as a datalogger to collect GPS co-ordinates and save them in specific database files. The GPS co-ordinates can then be transferred via serial interface cable to a desktop application called GPSmapper that will allow you to display the data as a map on your PC. When you buy, you get both the desktop GPSmapper and GPSgrabber as one package.
The purpose for this application is to give an easy to use GIS solution to people that do not need the sophistication offered by more conventional GIS applications.
Features of GPSgrabber
GPSmapper - the easy and inexpensive GIS solution

- Interface with GPSgrabber to download GPSdata from a Palm device.
- Display a scanned map image or aerial photograph in JPEG, GIF or bitmap format
- Calibrate map image by entering the logitude and latiude for any two points on the map
- Display geodic latitude and longitude for any point on the map as you move your cursor around.
- Calculate acreage simply by selecting the area on the map with your mouse.
- Calculate mileage by just clicking all along the road you wish to measure
- Calculate distance and heading between points on a map by simply clicking on both points
- Create text based vector files of any part of the map.

Import and export ESRI Shapefiles
GPSmapper now also includes a free program called Mapper2Shape that allows you convert GPSmapper text files (CSV) to ESRI Shapefile format. It can also convert shapefiles into text file format that GPSmapper can import. The shapefile utility actually exports three files namely *.shp (shapefile itself), *.dbf (database file) and *.shx (index file). The reason for three files is to maintain compatibility with most GIS application that require all three these files before it can import a shapefile.
