Can data from previous versions of PC-GPS be used with the current version of PC-GPS?
Yes. Map files, FMP files, Feature files and Route files from previous versions of PC-GPS can be used with the current version of PC-GPS. Files of these formats can be accessed using the File/Open option. Feature files can also be imported into existing Map files using the File/Import option. For forestry users who have created a Tract/Stand .MAP or .FMP file in PC-GPS 3.7 or earlier and are trying to open it in the current PC-GPS, please follow these steps (resolves acreage summary and descriptions in the plot preview screen): a) Click on the Stands topic so it is active. b) Choose Sheet/Setup. c) Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list of “Field Names” and delete the Attribute: “STAND_NO” (it is the last one in the list). d) Scroll back to the top and double-click on the Attribute: “STAND_NUMBER”. Now you will be able to rename it to be “STAND_NO”. Press
