StarNet Purchased

MicroSurvey Purchases STAR*NET
MicroSurvey, the Canadian software developer, announced that it has purchased STAR*NET, one of the most popular software products used by land surveyors.  Ron Sawyer, president of Starplus Software, Inc. is retiring from the business after 22 years of developing and supplying STAR*NET. Some of the improvements that MicroSurvey has planned are better operation under Windows 7, improved DWG/DXF support, improved graphics, larger network adjustment capabilities, and research into creating a 64 bit version to take advantage of the larger memory space available in modern computers.

I consider it one of the best least squares adjustment programs out there. Hope it stays available as a seperate product from MicroSurvey. If so, I look forward to the advancements a large programming staff can bring to a great core program.

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
