When loading a GIS file into DNR GPS, using File > Load From > File (and database), that is natively projected in NAD 1983 StatePlane Alaska 1 FIPS 5001 (Meters), the resulting latitude and longitude geographic coordinates are incorrect. However if the same GIS file is loaded via ArcMap, File > Load From > ArcMap > Layer, the resulting table of values for latitude and longitude are correct. I did not test load data with the same projection using the Google Earth option.

I tested a point feature class and a line feature class. The associated *.prj file contains:

PROJCS["NAD_1983_StatePlane_Alaska_1_FIPS_5001",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Hotine_Oblique_Mercator_Azimuth_Natural_Origin"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",5000000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",-5000000.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9999],PARAMETER["Azimuth",-36.86989764583333],PARAMETER["Longitude_Of_Center",-133.6666666666667],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Center",57.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]
