Modestly priced, this new program is a tremendous timesaver and convenience! It even lets you relocate your plot with the first point of your traverse at a specified coordinate. Works on
most Garmin units including the popular eTrex line, and AutoCAD 14, 2000, and 2000i. Satellite navigation and land surveying are now made much more convenient by outputting to an
AutoCAD file.

effectively letting you relocate the entire plot in AutoCAD. You can also make
adjustments to the layers, line types, and colors to be used, and whether to
plot the points, connecting lines, descriptors..
Once all these selections are made, simply start an AutoCAD
session, click one button, and the plotted points appear in AutoCAD! This
operation can be repeated as necessary, such as relocating the entire plot to a
given location if necessary.
