Overview of Map projections

Each layer in ArcPad should have projection information associated with it. Projection information for shapefiles and some image formats is stored in an associated .prj file. Projection information for ArcPad AXF files and some image formats is stored in the data file. Projection information can also be stored in the ArcPad map file (.apm).

You can view the map’s projection information in the Map Properties dialog box.
