Jess, Once you have the Lat Long coordinates in Google Earth, then you can email it to yourself or someone else and Google Earth generates a .kmz file. There are many programs available to convert from one of these GPS file systems to another. I looked on www.downloads.com and downloaded several free ones. I haven't tried to use any of them yet.

I plotted the locations for all of the trees on the list they published. Of course you can label the points, select what features are displayed on the map, and choose between different shapes and sizes of stick pins. It worked quite well once I played with it and figured out what I was doing.. Ed "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
