My shp files and related data points/ XY coordinates are displayed in X 678859.332419359 Y 485164.424942553. is that UTM? I want the entire shape file/ data points to be displayed in decimal degrees to be consistent with other layers. Is there a quick fix in arcpad10? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 04 Jun 2011 23:32:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/converting-gps-coordinate-formats-in-arcpad10/m-p/679667#M4887 DanielOele 2011-06-04T23:32:29Z Re: converting GPS coordinate formats in arcpad10 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/converting-gps-coordinate-formats-in-arcpad10/m-p/679668#M4888 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><BLOCKQUOTE class="jive-quote"> is that UTM? </BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Yup. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><BLOCKQUOTE class="jive-quote"> I want the entire shape file/ data points to be displayed in decimal degrees to be consistent with other layers.

Looks like it should be changed from UTM to WGS 84, something you can do in ArcMap</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:45:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/converting-gps-coordinate-formats-in-arcpad10/m-p/679668#M4888 DeanFranklin1 2011-06-06T12:45:23Z Re: converting GPS coordinate formats in arcpad10 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/converting-gps-coordinate-formats-in-arcpad10/m-p/679669#M4889 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>If you are only interested in the display of the coordinates.
