NEW Pathfinder 4.0 Install Info:
There have been some cases when a user states that they only have latitude and longitude as a Coordinate System choice in Pathfinder Office or there seems to be other related coordinate systems manager issues.

The following process should be followed when you need to copy an existing CSD file and Geoid Files from an existing PC to a new PC that has only had GPS Pathfinder Office v4.0 installed (Note: there has never been a previous version of Pathfinder Office on the new PC)

Traditionally these files can be found and are placed in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Trimble\GeoData

On the new PC that has only had v4.00 installed:
1. Copy the existing current.csd to the directory: C:\Docutments & Settings\All Users\Application
    Data\Trimble\GeoData
Note: The Application Data directory may be hidden (it is by default). To unhide it, in File Explorer, Select Tools > Folder Options. Select the View tab. Check the option: Files and Folders > Hidden Files and Folders > Show Hidden Files and Folders.
2. Copy the existing Geoid files *.ggf to the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Trimble\GeoData
3. When you copy, open the existing CSD file in the Coordinate System Manager, you should let it upgrade the
    database. You will see what changes it introduces.
This should give you access to your old CSD files and Geoids in both Coordinate System Manager and GPS Pathfinder Office.

Note: The location of the Current.CSD has changed (but the Geoids have not).
