hi -- the Encom Technology (now Pitney Bowes) 'Discover' product (which is an add-on to Mapinfo) has a utility for creating grids of points and lines with set station/line spacings, etc., which can be easily/readily used for laying out ground survey grids. Also, the DataViz 'FP' for flight plan will do it well for airborne surveys, and the Encom PA product includes a flight simulator which will do the same thing, with the addition of specific aircraft climb/descend characteristics.
I realize these are not the answers you want, but ... Kit.
