I upgraded from ArcPad 7.01 to 8 (sp3) on a laptop with WinXP. The tree inventory application I was using no longer collects the GPS data. I end up with blank X, Y and ID (combination of X&Y) columns. I've tried changing to collecting information at the GPS location and where the user clicks--neither makes a difference. I can add the X-Y data to the points collected in ArcGIS, but I'd rather not add the extra step.
The GPS data shows up correctly on the status bar at the bottom of the screen and on the GPS position window. I can collect GPS data in a Track Log. I downloaded an ArcScript that adds XYZ data to a shapefile. That also works as it should and collects the XY data. I just haven't been able to find what I've done wrong.
The attached arcpad.zip file has the original ArcPad.vbs that worked with version 7 and the modified version arcpad(tree survey).vbs I've been using. The big difference is a modified toolbar which didn't seem to work anymore, but I found I no longer require.
I'm fairly new at this, but would appreciate any help. Thanks!
