Introduction

GCL provide some programs and a library of C++ classes for geodetic computations: calculations in the ellipsoidal reference system, coordinate transformations, map projection conversions, etc.

Features

• Conversion between spartial cartesian and geodetic coordinates.
• Conversion between geodetic and mapping coordinates.
• Supported mapping systems:
  • Gauss-Krueger coordinates
  • UTM
  • Lambert Conformal Conic projection
  • Schweizer Projektionskoordinaten
• Conversion between geocentric cartesian and local tangential coordinates.
• Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal format for geodetic coordinates.
