STAR*NET: Ground Point file output
In STAR*NET, it is easy to create a “ground points” file of transformed adjustment results. STAR*NET allows you to set rotations, translations, and transformations to create a secondary set of adjusted coordinates, which may include ground coordinates, localized site-specific coordinates, or coordinates in an adjacent zone to your current coordinate system. Where other adjustment programs typically force you to create coordinates in one coordinate system and manually compute localizations by some other method, STAR*NET allows you to create both simultaneously.
“STAR*NET is a really great feature for localized things and it’s one of the easiest packages to create a ground scale coordinate file”
