Calculation services / REFRAME

REFRAME is swisstopo’s new plan and height transformation software for applications with the highest accuracy requirements in both the national geodetic survey and the official cadastral survey, including the conversion between LV03 and LV95 and vice versa.

In the desktop version several files with an unlimited number of points or objects in each can be converted simultaneously.

For the automation of very large computations REFRAME also has a command line mode suitable for batch processing.

A fully functional version of REFRAME is available free of charge on swisstopo's website as part of the online geodata computing and transformation service. Currently the service can only transform data files of up to 5 Mb in size.

Do you want to publish your data in Google Earth or Google Maps? Point objects in the LV03 or LV95 coordinate systems can be converted into the required format in WGS84 with the online KML generation service. In addition it is possible to convert raw GPS data in NMEA 0183 format (waypoints and routes with both detail and statistical information) into KML.
