Ed, MapTech is a pain with coordinates. They use a different format than what we usually use with our GPS units. Even on MapTech Pro there is no fxn to change within different coordinate systems. But, if you start with their coordinate system, you place your cursor on the map, and it's gives you coordinates. Or, it's supposed to take all the waypoints on your GPS and put them directly on the map automatically, then you manually convert the coordinates or find a program to do it for you...
MapTech has some nice features for mapping, but is quite limited in other areas once you learn the basics. I tried to get the state to get me ArcView years ago, but they shot it down... "forestry needs mapping software, state parks doesn't do that sort of thing"...
