The purpose of these scripts was to automate certain repetitive tasks I had to perform while recording elevations on the Washington & Old Dominion Trail. Following each trip to the trail to collect data, the waypoints were exported from my GPS device to a shapefile, on which these scripts were then run. The tasks included deleting all unnecessary fields from the shapefile’s attribute table, adding and populating any additional fields that were needed, projecting the shapefile, and importing it as a feature class into a file geodatabase. Below, the scripts can be downloaded for viewing as either PDF documents or text (.txt) files.
