This shape file can then be imported into ArcMap for display or update. The export to shape file approach can be a good option for example, if you have purchased a device with greater accuracy and would like to update your existing GIS data. In other cases a direct update to a geodatabase might make sense.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 09 Dec 2013 16:38:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/trimble-field-inspector-nbsp-and-shapefiles/m-p/277187#M2024 trimble_supporttrimble_support 2013-12-09T16:38:30Z
