Seriously, can anyone tell me how I can convert the information from a Garmin GPS unit into AutoCAD? It seems like it should be easier than this. I don't want to buy GIS or other programs. I know there must be a simple way to do this? Thank you!
GPX v1.1, GDB, CSV Text, KML 2.2, TCX v2, and Tabbed Text are the options.
Bearing in mind that the exported data is going to be in lat-long, you'll need to convert it to a plane coordinate system if you want the distances and locations to be very meaningful, CORPSCON is a free tool from USACOE that you can use to convert lat-long to a state plane or other useful coordinate system.
