GEOREF - Transformation of geodata

GEOREF simplifies the amalgamation of geodetic data from different sources and allows full customisation of transformation datasets.

GIS Tools and Applications (FME): FME plug-ins and datasets for realtime reprojection

8 January 2024

GIS Tools and Applications (FME)

swisstopo has developed transformers for the transition of reference frames in position and /or height with FME software. All files which can be read by the FME software (many GIS, CAD and text formats) can be easily processed with this transformer. The CHENyx06 dataset (LV03->LV95 ou LV03->ETRS89) is also available as NTv2 regular grid.

Shared libraries (DLL or JAR) for Geodetic Software

8 January 2024

DLL/JAR shared libraries

swisstopo provides shared libraries (DLL or JAR) for software developers which allow transformation of coordinates and heights. These transformations can be easily integrated into existing applications (.NET, C++, Visual Basic, Java), websites (Java, MONO, Silverlight) or macros (e.g. VBA).
