[mapserver-users] HOw to create shp, etc files

[Ed McNierney]

Grant -

Are you collecting those dots with a GPS?  I'm sure there are other
products, too, but OziExplorer (www.oziexplorer.com) is a nice Windows
mapping application that lets you download waypoints and tracks from a
GPS unit and export them as ESRI shapefiles.  It's only USD$75 to
register a copy.

Howdy all again,

I am going to ask a basic question right now and I hope not to be too
ridiculed!

How does one create a shp file and the files that accompany it.

I basically need to make a map of gps positioned dots containg a field
of 10
chars in length.

Thanks so much for the advice,

Grant
