This is probably a simple thing to do, but I've been fighting it for hours now and am vapor locked on the solution. How do I get a lat long field filled with centroid(obj) values? I have to ship soome data to a file that will be uploaded to a garmin GPS. Thank you. George Johnston George, First make columns for Long and Lat. I make the fields as decimal, 12 characters long with 5 decimal places. Then use the Table>Update command to update the columns. You need to choose the right table and column to update, and then use the x and y centroid function. I use Christian Singer's Garfile program (_www.icsinger.de_ (http://www.icsinger.de) ) to load points to my Etrex Vista. It works great! Export your points out as a MapInfo MIF file. Your projection needs to be WGS84, decimal degrees to work with the Garfile program. Best regards, Dan ================= Daniel P. Laux Geologist South Branch Resources LLC Apache Junction, AZ
