Does CORPSCON run on Windows 2000?
Yes, CORPSCON Version 5.11 runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000. Q: What are the Scale Factor and Combined Factor? A: The State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) is distorted, as are all projections. Dividing a distance between two points on the SPCS by the scale factor provides an approximation of the real distance, i.e., the distance measured on the ellipsoid, the surface a GPS works with. A better approximation is the combined scale factor (combined factor). Dividing a SPCS distance by the combined scale factor approximates the length of a cord connecting the two points. Scale factor is the ratio of an incremental distance measured on the ellipsoid to the distance on the State Plane grid, whereas combined scale factor is the ratio of the former distance to the distance on the ground. Q: I input a location in latitude/longitude. Why is the answer off by tens of degrees? A: Input longitude must be positive. East is east and west is west, except for Corpscon, where west is east.
