The world’s leading coordinate conversion and geodetic toolkit is now available for Windows and Linux C++ and Windows .NET for 64 Bit computing.

GeoCalc 6.4 includes new tools for improving data quality management from a development level and supports a variety of development environments and platforms. In addition, GeoCalc 6.4 allows you to save your custom CRS entries, which can then be linked to any other coordinate system database identifier. GeoCalc SDK now supports over 12,000 coordinate system transformations, along with pre-defined linear and angular units, ellipsoids, geodetic datums and coordinate systems.

“GeoCalc v6.4 is most comprehensive, commercial coordinate transformation engine that is available today”, states Kris Berglund, Vice President of Sales at Blue Marble. “Many companies are seeing the immediate benefit of using GeoCalc to manage and QC all of their coordinate system definitions, whether they are custom definitions, EPSG definitions or from other sources.”
