OPUS now uses GEOID12 (when using NAD83[2011]), and access to the OLD realization (NAD83[CORS96]) will be terminated on July 15th.

So you procrastinators had better get busy!

Even though the options are Geoid03 or Geoid09!

Who's got a public domain software package that will write a .ggf file WITHOUT having a proprietary package installed?

Cliff,
If you are looking for the Geoid12.ggf file, Trimble has it on their site.

Bryan,

I am looking for the software to WRITE a ggf file from the original GEOID12 data file. The original software to cut out a window from the geoid file was written by Dr. Brad Drew of NGS back in 1999, but the extract it writes does not have the ggf header info. I see that Trimble has software to write a ggf file and that Ashtech has the software to write a ggf file, so I'm looking for the public domain (or specs) in order to write a ggf file without proprietary software.

Howdy,

Does this help?

http://www.hypack.com/new/portals/1/PDF/sb/07_10/New%20Geoid%20Model%20for%20France%20and%20Information%20about%20Geoid%20File%20Formats.pdf

I agree with the authors on the desirability of the adoption of a well-documented geoid information file format.

Cheers,

DMM

Playing with the data a little.

CORS Station BLRW ARP

NAD 83 (CORS96) (EPOCH 2002.00)
LAT 43° 13' 48.88375" N
LON 90° 31' 50.77670" W
ELL HT 191.695
GEOID 09 -33.539
NAVD 88 HT 225.234

NAD 83(2011) (EPOCH 2010.00)
LAT 43 13 48.88364 N
LON 90° 31' 50.77670" W
ELL HT 191.666
GEOID 12 -33.568
NAVD 88 HT 225.234

Lots of recomputing to get the same NAVD88 Height.
Coinkidink?
Robbing Peter(ELL HT) to pay Paul (GEOID HT)?

Interesting, now that the elevation values are being computed, I would like to see what the difference will be in my neck of the woods.
