The GeoCalc SDK allows developers to embed the advanced coordinate transformation toolkit behind Geographic Calculator into their own programs.

GeoCalc version 8.2 includes support for EPSG and data models along with new options for concatenation of time-based transformations.

The latest changes to GeoCalc 8.2 allow increased flexibility in working with both custom geoids and time-based coordinate transformations.”
— Sam Knight, Director of Product Management
HALLOWELL, ME, UNITED STATES, January 19, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Blue Marble Geographics® (bluemarblegeo.com) is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 8.2 of the GeoCalc® Software Development Kit (SDK). The GeoCalc SDK allows developers to embed the advanced coordinate transformation toolkit behind Geographic Calculator into their own programs.

The GeoCalc SDK remains an industry standard tool for developers through continual updates and improvements. Evolving as the GIS and geodesy industry does, the new release of GeoCalc includes an updated datasource to EPSG v10.047, improved understanding of Well-Known Text (WKT) object definitions, and read/write support of the new EPSG metadata syntax in Geography Markup Language (GML) and WKT formats.

Just as important as the understanding and availability of an updated EPSG database, GeoCalc version 8.2 now supports additional transformation methods and grid formats. Support for new ASCII vertical transformations, new time-specific coordinate frame rotation and position vector rotation transformation methods, and the ability to concatenate time-based transformations keeps the GeoCalc SDK on the cutting edge of geodetic technology.

“The latest changes to GeoCalc 8.2 allow increased flexibility in working with both custom geoids and time-based coordinate transformations,” said Sam Knight, Director of Product Management, “with time-based and vertical systems becoming more important every year, we are happy to keep facilitating the use of these models.”

The GeoCalc SDK is a fully object-oriented class library designed for GIS professionals and software developers. Blue Marble Geographics offers the underlying coordinate transformation capability of the Geographic Calculator within GeoCalc.
