ESRI Tutorial

Now - when the ESRI direct support becomes available for the wider range of users - since the non expensive shareware version can directly read ESRI files - it make sense to make public some more materials on how to prepare cGPSmapper files to work efficient with ESRI data.

Thanks to one of the cGPSmapper users - there is a nice document available Tips & Tricks - cGPSmapper (shapefile version) - you can read itonline or download as a MS word document.

Take a look at simple ESRI tutor files I did prepare some times ago - there I explain step by step all the details on preparing maps from ESRI data. Notice that some features presented here are available only in Standard and Pro versions of cGPSmapper
