Custom Coordinate Systems

SOLO Office lets you create custom coordinate system files, called Zone files, which can be downloaded to your field data collector. When using a Zone file in the field, your position data (whether from GPS, laser or from the Map View) is automatically converted into the custom coordinate system.
