GPS Utility is an easy-to-use software application that allows you to manage, manipulate and map your GPS information. This is a “point and click” software package.

While there are a number of things that GPS Utility software can do, some of the functions most applicable to extension agents include the following:

♦ Extension agents can use this software package to transfer GPS data between a GPS receiver and a PC.
♦ GPS Utility can convert GPS data to one of several different text formats (i.e. compatible with spreadsheets, ESRI Shapefile, and other GIS compatible formats, etc.).
♦ The program converts GPS data (i.e. waypoints, routes, etc.) between different map datums and many coordinate formats (Lat/ Long, UTM/UPS, country grids etc.).
♦ Information can be filtered in various ways and waypoints sorted according to specified criteria. Route and track statistics are available and can be transferred into other programs for analysis (i.e. spreadsheet programs).
