GPSacreage 1.0

Want an easy way to export the GPS data to your PC? The PDB files where GPSacreage saves the tract data is backed up on your PC each time you make a Hotsync. Now you can use another PC based application by the same developer to convert those backup PDB files to ascii text format. It makes it possible to use GPSacreage now also as GPS datalogger. Read more about it in the updated documentation. Furthermore a new included program allows you to export the files to ESRI shapefile format.
The program now supports the Garmin iQue 3600. This excellent device has a built-in GPS which makes it an ideal host for GPSacreage. The software will automatically detect that your device is a Garmin iQue and it will use the built-in GPS. If the program is run on any other PDA device, then the program will still look for the GPS on the serial port.
