I just plotted some land in West Texas using my GPS. I
transferred the information to MapPoint but the GPS points
that I took close to the North point of the highway wind
up on the South side of the highway in MapPoint. Is there
anyway to adjust this in MapPoint so that my GPS
coordinates are on the correct side of the highway.

Ed,
There are two things to check here: make sure your GPS is set to the
WGS 84 datum, and more importantly, make sure it is set to display
decimal lat/lon, so that you can enter the values into MapPoint in a
format it expects.
