In this video tutorial, Dan Foster shows how to use the Move Selected tool to fix one of the points in a shape drawn on the aerial photo map in ExpertGPS.

Here are 10 mapping shortcuts that will save you lots of time when working with maps and GPS data in ExpertGPS. I use these shortcut keys and tricks dozens of times a day to save time when viewing and editing my GPS data, and I guarantee you'll be more productive once you know them.

Nick H. needs to be able to enter GPS waypoints using New Zealand's coordinate format and datum. Here's how to configure ExpertGPS mapping software to input data in New Zealand Geodetic Datum 1949 or NZGD 2000, and convert it to other datums and formats.

Monica has an aerial ortho photo of New Mexico, which uses the New Mexico state plane coordinate system, NAD 83 datum. Her GPS doesn't support NM SPCS, NAD83, however. GPS expert Dan Foster shows how ExpertGPS can convert these state plane coordinates to latitude/longitude or UTM so you can keep using your GPS receiver.

Jim S. needs to view his golf course designs and engineering documents out in the field, where he can collect way points and make notes using a GPS. GPS expert Dan Foster offers two solutions.

Arvind has a spreadsheet full of transportation routes in CSV format that he needs to be able to map. Unfortunately, the data isn't in a standard format. Here's how to use Excel and ExpertGPS to convert this data without any programming.

Jani needs a way to export the depth data from his Lowrance LCX chartplotter. ExpertGPS will allow him to extract the depth data for each GPS track point that his chartplotter recorded, and export it to text, CSV, KML, or other file formats.

Jessica writes: "I am doing a behavioral study on a species of bird that has communal display sites called leks. I have set up a 10 meter grid of stakes across a lek, which I use to get x and y coordinates for marked birds on the lek throughout the morning. I have GPS coordinates for each of the stakes and would like to translate the 'fake' coordinates of my grid into real lat and long coordinates. Can you recommend the best way to do that?

Dale writes: "My application requires that I measure the areas of various land use types within a given project area. I had problems when I tried to append a particular shape of one land use to another shape of a different land use. I had to leave a gap to keep things from getting messy. I think I have that issue resolved by assigning each land use type to a different layer. I also had problems when I placed a node off location. I could not find a way to 'grab' the node and move it to the correct location (feature request). Deleting the shape and re-drawing it is a pain.

Herb asks: "How do I find the orthocenter of the triangle created by three waypoints from my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx?" The Average Waypoint command in ExpertGPS makes this easy.
