The ArcPad Options dialog box allows you to set a number of options, including display preferences and quality, map and data paths, ArcIMS requests, and camera settings. These options are saved in the ArcPad preferences file (ArcPadPrefs.apx), located under the My Documents/My ArcPad folder. Once set, these preferences are applied to all your maps created in ArcPad. You are not required to set them for each new map you create.

Tip
Restoring ArcPad defaults: To restore all ArcPad default parameters, close ArcPad, delete the ArcPad preference file (ArcPadPrefs.apx), and restart ArcPad

Tip
Setting GPS and rangefinder preferences: You can set GPS options in the GPS Preferences dialog box and rangefinder options in the Rangefinder Preferences dialog box.
