I'm unsuccessfully trying to view a set of waypoints in ArcExplorer as
a theme over some other data set. I created the waypoints on my
Magellan GPS unit. I downloaded those waypoints into OzieExplorer,
then used Ozie to export them to ESRI shapefile. When asked I told Ozie
the correct Datum, Position Format, and Projection Setup of my Project
in ArcExplorer. Then I add this file as a Theme in ArcExplorer, but
when I activate this theme, now waypoints show up.
This is making me nuts. Any ideas?

you might want to try making a new project with just the waypoint to start
with. This will help you determine the problem. If nothing comes in, then
the problem is in your export. If the waypoints DO come in ok by
themselves, then the problem is probably the projection etc. of your "other"
project. You can also try exporting the waypoints as a shp file, but don't
include any projection / datum info to see if that helps. I have found prj
files to be somewhat "unreliable" when dealing with shp files.
