The Eye4Software GPS Mapping software can be used for realtime navigation or positioning, route planning and to manage your maps, waypoints, tracks and GPS routes. The software supports different types of map formats like including: GeoTIFF, AutoCad DXF/DGN files, ESRI Shapefiles, BSB nautical charts and image files like GIF, BMP, JPG, TIF and PNG files, which can be calibrated using different map projections.

Waypoint, track and route information can be uploaded and downloaded to or from a GPS receiver supporting NMEA0183 or Garmin PVT (USB), or can be exported or imported to different file formats like Garmin PCX, GPS Exchange and OziExplorer files.

Applications of this software includes (home use): Hiking, cycling, running, boating and geocaching and (professional use): Research, track and trace, survey etc.

The Eye4Software GPS Toolkit (GPS SDK) allows software developers to add GPS functionality to their programs and scripts, without the need for any knowledge on serial communications and GPS protocols like NMEA 0183 and geodesy.

The GPS Toolkit offers functionality to read and decode NMEA 0183 and Garmin PVT data, as well as converting coordinates between map datums and coordinate systems using various map projections, including Transverse Mercator, Oblique Mercator, Mercator, Lambert Conformal Conic, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, Polar Stereographic, Oblique Stereographic, Albers Equal Area, Eckert IV and VI, Mollweide, Krovak, Cassini-Soldner and more.

This ActiveX component can be used in various programming environments, such as Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Basic .NET, Visual C# .NET, Borland Delphi and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Supported also are web oriented applications such as ASP, ASP.NET and PHP.

The Eye4Software Coordinate Calculator is a very easy to use tool to perform transformations between different map datums and projections. The software can be used to transform a single coordinate or a batch of coordinates read from a comma separated file.

Supported map projections include: Transverse Mercator, Oblique Mercator, Mercator, Lambert Conformal Conic, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, Polar Stereographic, Oblique Stereographic, Albers Equal Area Conic, Eckert IV and VI, Mollweide, Polyconic, Krovak and Cassini-Soldner.

The Coordinate Calculator is shipped with a MS Access database containing almost any map projection, geodetic datum and reference ellipsoids around.

Building GPS applications using .NET or the .NET Compact Framework has never been easier using the Eye4Software GPS Toolkit for .NET. The toolkit allows you to read position, time, satellite and speed data and more, directly from a GPS using the NMEA 0183 protocol which is used by almost any GPS device around. The package contains two GPS SDK's, one to build GPS software for mobile device platforms such as Windows CE, Windows Mobile and Windows Smartphone, and one allowing you to build GPS applications for Windows desktop platforms.

The GPS Toolkit also contains support for various map projections. This allows you to convert coordinates from one map grid to another, or to convert coordinates from one map datum to another. Supported map projections include: Transverse Mercator, Oblique Mercator, Mercator, Lambert Conformal Conic, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, Polar Stereographic, Oblique Stereographic, Albers Equal Area, Eckert IV and VI, Mollweide, Krovak, Cassini-Soldner and more.

This .NET Class Library can be used from various programming environments, including Visual Basic .NET, Visual C# .NET, Visual J# .NET, JScript .NET and all other platforms that support the .NET framework.
