but these are exactly the answers I wanted. Thanks Kit. It would take their programmers 5 minutes to develop such capability, but they seem to be ignorant of what the typical exploration geologist fills his/her day in with. Using trigonometry to calculate points in Excel is not efficient use of time. Doug

Also, the DataViz 'FP' for flight plan will do it well for airborne surveys, and the Encom PA product includes a flight simulator which will do the same thing, with the addition of specific aircraft climb/descend characteristics. I realize these are not the answers you want, but ... Kit.

I've been banging on about this for years but no functionality has been added to generate grid points. We do a lot of soil geochemical sampling and the ability to automatically generate variable patterns, spacing and orientations of grid points (lines) within a polygon would be very helpful.

Is there a Map Editing tool for that? Thanks, Doug ************************************************************ Confidentiality Warning.
