Eye4Software Coordinate Calculator

For those who work with maps regularly, having multiple maps with different coordinate systems or different grids can cause problems. Eye4Software Coordinate Calculator is able to edit maps and create new coordinates or edit the grids within them.

The Coordinate Calculator is a complicated application that does its best to be user friendly. It is still based around advanced terms and features however, so it's not for the faint of heart. For those looking for a detailed map editor and converter though, they will not be disappointed. The application offers specific grid editing, coordinate editing, altitude adjustment and distance calculations.

For those looking for even more advanced features, the application allows users to create their own datums and ellipsoids. They can be used to extrapolate areas of an incomplete map into a more detailed and complete one.

The application is not free and the value for money has to be taken into consideration. The application does not disappoint with a range of small details included that prove the developers have taken their work seriously. With enough work and using the included resources, it is possible for users to create their own maps that are accurate enough to navigate from.

Several map datums and ellipsoids are already included in the application and can be loaded for details on specific areas, to form a basis for any map editing or creation work users wish to do. The main function however is in transforming map types into others and in this it has all the tools to for this goal.

While there are tutorials and other support tools on their website, the application is still very complicated and could be more user friendly with perhaps a built-in tutorial.

To conclude, the application does exactly what the developers advertise it will do with great attention to detail given. While more time could be taken to make it more user friendly, it instead chooses not to sacrifice detail for simplicity.
