  1. Hello I am working on a mapping project. I have waypoints in a garmin ex legend tracker. I have downloaded garmin DNR to extract the waypoints to the computer. I am going to map this project through ArcView GIS. I am vaguely familiar with this program. Are there any tips or guidelines you can offer me to get this project done correctly? I have the ArcView manual so if you could point out areas I should focus on when I am reading. Also if u could walk me through the process of saving the waypoints out of the garmin device just to make sure i am doing it correctly. Published: October 15, 2009
