You can now download Coordinate Calculator 2.4. This version contains over 4000 map grid, map datum and ellipsoid definitions.

November 6th, 2009

Today we released version 2.4 of the GPS Toolkit. Because these days Garmin GPS devices are shipped with an USB cable only, we decided to add support for the Garmin USB PVT protocol.

Today, Eye4Software B.V. Released version 2.2 of the Coordinate Calculator, this new version, with an improved user interface, is now shipped with over 1200 grid definitions.

February the 4th, 2010 - Eye4Software Released Coordinate Calculator 2.4

You can now download version 2.4 of the Coordinate Calculator. The main improvement is the database, containing the map grids, map datums and ellipsoids. The database now contains over 4000 definitions and covers almost any coordinate system on the earth. All definitions in the database are now referenced by their EPSG code, allowing you to find them easier. It is now also possible to specify a prime meridian in the map datum definition, allowing you to use grids that use another prime meridian then Greenwich. Two more projections have been added: Lambert Conformal Conic West Orientated, this projection is mainly used in Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. For Souther Africa, we added the Transverse Mercator South Orientated projection. For more information, please visit the Eye4Software Coordinate Calculator product page.

November the 6th, 2009 - Eye4Software Released GPS Toolkit 2.4

Today we released version 2.4 of the GPS Toolkit. Because these days Garmin GPS devices are shipped with an USB cable only, we decided to add support for the Garmin USB PVT protocol. When using a Garmin GPS device, you not longer have to buy either a serial cable, or some piece of software that converts the PVT data to NMEA data on a virtual serial port. The GPS toolkit communicates directly with Garmin's USB driver. We also add the following features for coordinate conversions: new projections (Krovak and Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area) and support for different units, including foot, mile, chain and link.

October the 21st, 2009 - Eye4Software Released Coordinate Calculator 2.2

The latest version of the Eye4Software Coordinate Calculator, version 2.2, offers a lot of new features including: new projections (Krovak and Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area), an improved user interface, batch processing of conversions, support for different units, including foot, mile, chain and link and distance calculations. The database shipped with this version now contains over 1200 grid definitions. For more information, please visit the Eye4Software Coordinate Calculator product page.

May the 29th, 2009 - Eye4Software Released GPS Toolkit 2.2

Because of new features, we decided to release a new version of the Eye4Software GPS Toolkit. It is now possible to convert the latitude or longitude position received from the GPS, to a map datum or map grid of your choice. Using this new feature you can for instance convert your GPS position directly to UTM coordinates. These functions are implemented in a separate onbject, making it possible to convert the received GPS coordinates as well as coordinates that are entered manually. For more information, please visit the Eye4Software GPS Toolkit product page.

May the 15th, 2009 - Eye4Software Released Coordinate Calculator 2.1

Today, Eye4Software B.V. Released its first version (2.1) of the Coordinate Calculator. Using this small, easy to use application, you can perform map datum and map projection translations on single coordinates, or multiple coordinates, for instance from a textfile. All ellipsoid, map datum and map projection parameters are stored in an Access database shipped with the application. All these parameters can be modified from the software, allowing you to modify these definitions, or add new ones. For more information, please visit the Eye4Software Coordinate Calculator product page.

February the 14th, 2009 - Eye4Software Released GPS Toolkit 2.1

Today, Eye4Software B.V. Released its first version (2.1) of the GPS Toolkit. Using this toolkit, software developers can add GPS support to their applications with a blink of an eye. Receiving GPS updates can be done by just adding 8 lines of code to your script or application. The only thing to do is: Set the serial device, start the parser, and latitude and longitude information will be available anywhere in your application.
