ABOUT ================================== DNRGPS is an Open Source update to the popular DNRGarmin application. It provides users the ability to transfer data between handheld GPS receivers and GIS software. Users will be familiar with most of the functions in DNRGPS because they were also found in DNRGarmin. DNRGPS: * accomodates newer GPS models * works with ArcGIS 10, and * is available for the Open Source community to modify and share .. _DNRGPS: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/DNRGPS/DNRGPS.html **Download** `DNRGPS`_ ======================================= ===================== Functionality Detail ======================================= ===================== Upload/Download waypoints,tracks,routes supported :doc:`file_types` Convert between points, lines and areas Calculate Circular Error Probability Image hotlinking Real-time tracking Set projections USB connectivity ======================================= ===================== This program integrates GIS Software (ESRI's ArcMap, Google Earth) with GPS units. It uses a C# program that interacts with the GPS via a serial/USB port allowing GIS users to transfer Waypoints, Tracks, and Routes from a GPS to ArcMap or Google Earth and store them as points, lines or polygons. Information can also be uploaded from various :doc:`file_types` to the GPS and used as waypoints, tracks, or routes. DNR GPS can also be used to perform real-time tracking with your GPS and GIS. Connected to a laptop computer with ArcMap, a Garmin GPS can be a valuable tool for locating oneself and for interactive data collection. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 4 installation menu_options troubleshoot dnr_garmin_changes appendix_1 appendix_2 system_admin_guide programmer_guide
