Hi all,

I am doing some GPS surveying and am importing the data to a drawing. I would like to display the coordinates near the points (in meters i.e. 6e6,7e9). Is there any way to do so effectively?

The issue is that the origin to the GPS data is at the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian. (very far) and I don't want to go through the vector mathematics on every point to zero out to a reference point.

I intend to walk the path with the GPS and mark the new points with stakes from my drawing. I'm sure there may be something I can do with the GPS waystation (maybe setting a new origin to make things easier), but I am open to ideas.

Thanks!
