GPS users will need to download this program, which is used to create a subset of the geodetic data files. These files are very large, covering all of North America, so we created this utility to extract a subset for your specific area. This subset must then be copied onto your Data Collector in the following directory, overwriting some of the existing files that are already there:
...\MicroSurvey EVR7\Programs\Mapping
Download Datum Grid Editor - 86.9 Megabytes (now you know why you got that high speed connection!)
