For example, a feature underneath a bridge could be collected using an offset because the bridge will obstruct the GPS signal. Using the GPS Pathfinder Office software, you can view, add, or change an offset to any feature in an SSF file. (If the Feature Properties window is not open, double-click the feature to select it and open the Feature Properties window. ) Click Offset on the Summary tab. The following dialog appears: 2.

The most commonly used code is EPSG: 4326, which corresponds to WGS-84 (Lat/Long). The EPSG website (www. epsg. org) has a link to a Microsoft Access (. mdb) database that lists all the EPSG codes and a description of the corresponding coordinate system. Note ­ If you have problems opening the . mdb file provided, try importing the tables contained within the database into an empty . mdb database. Web Map Server layers do not appear in the GPS Pathfinder Office software. The coordinate system received from the Web Map Server is not the same as the coordinate system in GPS Pathfinder Office.
