Using XData
XData Overview
•
XData is available only in Street Atlas USA® Plus.
•
Supported file formats include:
•
Microsoft® Access (.mdb, .mdw, and .mda)
•
Microsoft Excel (.xls)
•
Microsoft Visual FoxPro (.dbf)
•
dBase (.dbf)
•
Text files (.txt, .csv, .tab, and .asc)
•

You can use the XData tab to import your data so you can view the location of each
record on detailed maps. To geoplace (locate) your records on the map, the data file
must contain either a coordinate (in decimal degrees), a city and state, a ZIP/Postal
Code, or a complete physical address (street address, city, state) for each record.
Whatever your business needs, you have powerful database management tools to
help you plan accordingly.
You can:
•
Import most database, spreadsheet, and text file formats for use within the
program.
•
Select symbols (or design your own) to represent the locations of your
records.
•
Display or hide databases so you can use them one at a time or together. You
can also use your data with other program functions.
•
Customize an existing dataset and then save the new dataset by using the
Export function.
•
Create a route using your XData records as a start, stop, and/or finish point.
