• Geodetic Development Kit GeoDLL

    Hello,

    here I send a note for developers who write programs with geodetic functionality such as coordinate transformations, datum shifts or
    distance calculations. For this you can easily include ready for use
    geodetic functions from my Geodetic Development Kit GeoDLL. The Dynamic
    Link Library can be used with almost all modern programming languages
    like C, C++, C#, Basic, Delphi, Pascal, Java, Fortran, xSharp, Phyton, MS-Office and so on. Examples and interfaces are available for many programming languages.

    GeoDLL is a professional Geodetic Development Kit or Geodetic Function
    Library for worldwide 2D and 3D coordinate transformations and datum
    shifts with highest accuracy. Also: Helmert and Molodensky parameters,
    NTv2, HARN, INSPIRE, EPSG, elevation model (DEM), distance and time zone calculation, meridian convergence and much more. GeoDLL is available as
    32bit and 64bit DLL and as C / C++ source code.

    The DLL is very fast, secure and compact thanks to the consistent
    development in C / C++ with Microsoft Visual Studio. The geodetic
    functions are available in 32bit and 64bit architecture. All functions
    are prepared for multithreading and server operating.

    Use of the worldwide NTv2 collection: https://www.killetsoft.de/t_ntv2_e.htm Quality of coordinate transformations:

    Is this a Windows thing?

    Yes, it is a WINDOWS DLL for 32 Bit and 64 Bit. But we sell also the
    source. So GeoDLL can compiled for other platforms.

    I imagine there are also open-source toolkits that cover this area. How do
    you compare with those?

    GeoDLL is a Geodetic Development Kit resp. a program library and
    funktions collection for worldwide 2D and 3D Coordinate Transformations
    and Datum Shifts with highest accuracy and for calculating Meridian Convergence and many Extra Parameters. Furthermore: Helmert and
    Molodensky Parameters, NTv2, HARN, INSPIRE, EPSG, Digital Elevation
    Model (DEM), distance and Time Zone calculations and much more. GeoDLL
    is available as 32Bit and 64Bit DLL and as C++ source code.

    GeoDLL uses Coordinate Transformation formulas based upon EPSG
    specifications and publications by Schatz, Schuhr and Klotz and
    Hooijberg. Algorithms used for country-specific transformations are
    either published or made directly available by the Measurement
    Authorities of the respective countries or by similar respectable institutions. To achieve the highest precision only strong formula
    algorithms are used for calculations.

    Coordinate Transformations and Datum transitions by GeoDLL have
    extremely high precision ranging within millimeters. A good example of geographic coordinates transformations between Gauß-Kruger and UTM
    Coordinate Systems made with GeoDLL are the results published by the North-Rhine Westphalia Land Survey Commission. It was confirmed that the differences were within the lower millimeter range.

    For a statement about the accuracy were comparative calculations
    realized with a set of test data of the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Vermessungsverwaltungen der Länder der Bundesrepublik Deutschland"
    (ADV). It was confirmed that the differences were less then 0,2 millimeter.

    Another interesting test series for a quality check was conducted by the German network operator Westnetz GmbH with an extreme NTv2 file. More
    than 4.3 million points were transformed with TRANSDATpro / GeoDLL and
    with a reference software from Gauß-Krüger/DHDN90 to UTM/ETRS89 and then compared. There were only very rarely deviations of more than one
    millimeter. These only affected coordinates that were outside the scope
    of the NTv2 file.

    The test result and statements on the calculation speed and much more information can be found in our Publication area at https://www.killetsoft.de/p_gdla_e.htm

    So basically, your posts are spam. It's just advertising for a
    commercial product on newsgroups that are non-commercial, and unrelated.
    The product itself might be great - that doesn't matter. Usenet
    groups are non-commercial because if everyone who sells (or gives away
    free) a bit of software were to make posts, they would all be totally
    swamped by the adverts.

    Your software is not remotely relevant to miscellaneous language
    discussions (this group), nor relevant to programming in C or C++ (other groups I know you have spammed). And even if it /were/ relevant to the
    groups or the people who follow them, adverts are /always/
    inappropriate. Adverts for open-source and free alternatives would also
    be inappropriate here.

    So please take your adverts elsewhere. If you want to discuss
    programming languages, this is the place to be. If you want to sell
    your software, buy a sponsored term on google or something.

    Don't be so strict. My posting provides information about a programming
    tool that can save C programmers a lot of time. Over the years, GeoDLL
    has accumulated a wealth of expert knowledge. For C programmers, it can
    be important to know where this expert knowledge can be accessed.

    Perhaps 0.01% of C programmers have the remotest interest in geodetic libraries. Perhaps 0.01% of /those/ don't know how to use google to
    find out about what libraries are available.

    Your posts are spam. Unwanted commercial advertising in a space that
    aims to be advert-free. No one can stop you posting whatever you like
    here - that's the cost of free speech. But we /can/ let you know that
    it is unwanted.

    Feel free to make posts here discussing programming languages. But this
    group is for discussing programming languages, not for pushing sales.

    Not necessarily the only one, though.
