Managing GPS
Coordinates with TDS
Survey Pro for Windows CE uses a binary file with the extension
*.job. A .JOB file point record will contain a point name, plane
location (N, E, Z), and a description. It may also contain geodetic
coordinates for points calculated, imported, or measured with GPS, as
well as poly lines, alignments, layers, attributes, base maps, and
automatic line work structures.
This section describes different ways to manipulate geodetic
coordinates with both Survey Pro and ForesightDXM. In this section,
you will learn:
How to use the Survey Pro Edit Points screen to edit plane
and geodetic locations, and geodetic flags.
How to use the Survey Pro Import menu to import
coordinates and coordinate systems, and how to merge GPS
coordinates from a *.GPS file.
How to use ForesightDXM (DXM) and Trimble Geomatics
Office (TGO) to manage job files with geodetic coordinates
from GPS measurements and coordinate system definitions.

Edit Points
You can edit all of a point's values using the Edit Points screen from
the Job menu. This is described in more detail in the User's and
Reference Manual. Below are some special instructions for editing
geodetic coordinates.
1. Select the point you want to edit and tap Edit, or double tap the
point in the list to open the edit screens.
