ARC software & GPS data

[hydrolocked]

OK, well, i found a fairly easy way to pull centroid data at one point (I have the county centroids for all 50 states printed, but can't find that actual site or file i used originally)... and i found a way to pull somewhat close data on cities for trunk sites - but I noticed that systems, when imported into ARC996 from the RR database, do not carry in any form of GPS data.

Is this a feature of the software, the database, or a combination of both? I noticed that the site report shows coordinates, but they don't import into ARC.

It is kind of interesting. The ARCXT software will grab GPS information from RR, but the ARC 996 does not. Hopefully when Gommert reads this post he might do something about it.

<phew!> i thought maybe i missed something stupid.... glad to hear it's a potential software oversight....

on the plus side, i can copy the site location data from RR (the html report) - paste it into a CSV, then i wrote a labview script to parse the .m96 file and put in the appropriate data from the csv file. the tricky part was the range data - i just did a round to nearest after looking to find out what 996 range is closest to the range in the database....
