Convert station and offset to lat/long

I've got a long list of borehole locations measured in station/offset along an alignment.  All of these are outside of geopak (in gINT and in a basic spreadsheet).  I would like to convert them to latitude/longitude, so that I'll have some greater flexibility when working with gINT and Google Earth.  I'm assuming I'd first have to convert it to state plane coordinates, then to lat/long.


Anyone know how I can accomplish this? I have a basic to very limited knowledge of the geographic tools, which I'm assume would be needed in the conversion.

Thanks!

  • Jeff, I am an InRoads user and I have an effective workflow for me at least.  Maybe it will help you or at least give you some ideas.  It involves using Corpcon software to convert XY to LL.  You are on the right path. First step is to convert SO data to XY.  For that you need to get the SO data into geometery and use the reporting tools to bulk capture the XY data of those points.  I use the inroads text import wizard when I have an extremly large number of points.  You can also draw a line using an "SO=" text file.  import the points to cogo or lines to alignment.  You could use survey if available.  Any means that allows you to use reporting tools to extract XY dat.  There is other software than Corpscon to convert XY to LL.  Even spreadsheets.  Should not take a lot of searching to find something you can deal with.  Good luck
