FILE TYPESΒΆ
DNRGPS supports loading data from or saving data to the following file types:
ESRI Shapefile - Only contains one data type (points, lines, or polygons). If the shapefile does not have a prj file, then it assumes data is projected in the projection specified at File => Set Projection. Loading from or saving to shapefiles does not require ArcMap.
Google Keyhole Markup Language (KML File) - Can store waypoints, tracks, and routes together. For more control over which layers you import, load the KML by connecting to it as a database. Also, save to a database connection instead of a file for more control over the name of the target layer. For more on this file format go to http://earth.google.com/kml/
GPS Exchange Format (GPX File) - Can store waypoints, tracks, and routes together. For more on this file format go to http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp
Text File (comma-delimited) or Text File (tab-delimited) - Can be used to load data or save out data.
Mapinfo File (.map) - This functionality does not yet work. If no projection information is associated with this file, then it assumes data is projected in the projection specified at File => Set Projection.
Geography Markup Language (GML) - For more on this file format go to http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/gml
Geo JavaScript Object Notation (GeoJSON) - For more on this file format go to http://geojson.org/
