Kieran,
=20
Thanks for sharing the script. I'm sorry I did not have time to write somet=
hing for you myself. I may write a routine soon to convert point data to si=
mple lines. I'm doing a fun project tracking a model sailplane with GPS in =
ArcView. If anyone needs GPS tracking in ArcView, I can supply VB routines =
that will poll the serial port and write a file (NMEA format).  I have an A=
rcView project that reads the file and plots the track. I'm thinking about =
saving the point data to a file and later creating a shapefile - which is w=
hat you wanted to do. I already have tracking logs that can be used for tha=
t purpose.
