Uploading and Downloading B&G Zeus3 16 Data

Download your B&G Zeus3 16 waypoints, routes, and tracks to your computer

ExpertGPS can transfer B&G Zeus3 16 waypoints, routes, and tracks. Your GPS stores its data on a memory card. ExpertGPS will read and write waypoints, routes, and tracks to and from this card when you click Receive from GPS or Send to GPS in ExpertGPS.

Upload new waypoints, routes, and tracks to your B&G GPS

Transfer data back to your B&G Zeus3 16 with a single click. Upload waypoints, routes, and tracks to your GPS and print a matching map out to take with you into the field. ExpertGPS even lets you upload Excel, Google Earth, CAD, and GIS data to your B&G Zeus3 16!


Maximize your GPS Memory

Your B&G Zeus3 16 has limited storage space for waypoints, routes, and tracks. Once you reach that limit, your GPS can't hold any more data. Smart ExpertGPS users have figured out how to eke out every last bit of memory space on their B&G GPS receivers. Before each outdoor adventure or visit to a project site, they use ExpertGPS to back up the contents of their GPS, and then clear the GPS data memory. They can then download as much data as possible onto their GPS (leaving some room for GPS data collection out in the field). When they get back, they use ExpertGPS to upload all of their B&G waypoints, routes, and tracks onto their computer and save it. Once they've backed up the new data from their GPS, they can clear the memory again, keeping their GPS ready for their next trip.


Backup your B&G Zeus3 16 waypoints, routes, and tracks

Backup your Zeus3 16 waypoints, routes, and tracks by using ExpertGPS to transfer them to your laptop or desktop computer. Now you've got a safe back-up of all of the important data on your Zeus3 16, and use ExpertGPS to find and create new waypoints, routes, and tracks to download to your B&G GPS. Before you update your B&G Zeus3 16 firmware or install a custom basemap, B&G recommends that you backup all of your GPS data. ExpertGPS gives you the peace-of-mind that your B&G Zeus3 16 data is always safe.


Making Maps from your B&G Zeus3 16 Data

Real 1:24000 USGS Topo Maps

View your B&G Zeus3 16 waypoints, routes, and tracks over USGS topo maps and aerial photos. These are actual 1:24000 scale topographic maps from the US Geological Survey, giving you much more terrain detail than the maps that came with your B&G.

Toggle between Topo, Aerial, and Color Orthophotos

Instantly switch between topo maps, aerial photos, and color urban imagery using the T, A, and U keys in ExpertGPS. This ability to toggle back-and-forth between several views of your GPS data is unique to ExpertGPS, and is one of its most popular features.

Give your maps a professional look

ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more.

Calculating Area and Acreage with your B&G Zeus3 16

Calculate Area (Acreage) using your B&G Zeus3 16
