Findpoints in xchange 2

[MinelabMann]

Hey guys, I'm new the the CTX world and I'm starting to use xchange and love it. I want to add my old finds I've found before to the map but I don't know how to create findpoints, it only lets me create waypoints. Can someone help me out and let me know thanks!!!

Actually it is rather simple. The items can be metallic or non metallic, it just depends on what items that you want to "map". Creating the FPs can be done in your yard or wherever you can create a FP on your CTX. Fire up the CTX and be sure the GPS is locked on. Then, if you have some metallic items that you want to map, get them and create "dummy" FPs. The Lat and Lon will not matter and by scanning the actual metallic items that you want to map, you will have relatively accurate TID numbers. If you have something other than metallic items to map, just scan any metallic item, you just need to get an FP created. Download those FPs to the PC. I then go to GoogleEarth and bring up the actual location, farm field or wherever, of the finds. Then just move the curser to the spot that I feel is where the item was found and write down the Lat and Lon coords. Once you have them, go into XC2, bring up your "dummied" FPs. Then edit the Lat and Lon to the ones you acquired from whatever mapping source that you use....
