The Blue Marble Desktop is the all in one geospatial data management platform for Blue Marble’s popular data transformation tools. The Geographic Calculator and Geographic Transformer now reside in the same desktop window along with all of the capabilities of the Geographic Translator. The Desktop now offers a new Spatial Connect module for working with spatial databases via the vector file conversion tab. Work seamlessly with all of the features of all of these applications in a single interface through a combined license. Whether you are working with coordinate, vector, CAD, raster, 3D, LIDAR, or any type of geospatial data the new Blue Marble Desktop allows you to address your data conversion challenges in the same application interface. Users can now translate directly between twenty different vector and CAD file formats and some sixty different spatial formats. The Spatial Connect module allows Blue Marble Desktop to connect to ESRI geodatabases, Oracle and PostGIS. The ArcGIS Extension now features support for ESRI Spatial database conversions for SDE, File Geodatabase, and Personal Geodatabase.
Now available, Version 7.4 of the most powerful and popular coordinate conversion tool available today now offers full support for HTDP reference frames and coordinate reference systems. There is also enhanced support for Alberta Township System 4.1, expanded vector file conversion capabilities and new tools for enterprise wide data management to enhance your geospatial projects. These tools extend the power of the Calculator to enable geospatial data definition, manipulation and management across the user’s organization. Manage your mapping data easily, accurately and quickly with the tool that more companies depend on to make certain they have the correct data. With this latest version the Vector File conversion tab now supports spatial data from ESRI geodatabases, Oracle and PostGIS as well as the full functionality of the Geographic Translator: multi-file translation for Vector and CAD formats, including DWG, DGN, Shape, Tab, Google's KML and much more along with powerful batch tools.
Transform your image files with unbeatable efficiency and accuracy. Geographic Transformer contains the most powerful raster transformation tools available today allowing for higher order math transformation models, up to fifth order polynomial, for true warping and accurate reprojection. The Transformer also sits on GeoCalc.XML the world's largest, most reliable and accurate coordinate transformation datasource. The tool also has great batching capabilities for large transformation jobs. Transformer allows users to georeference images, reproject them, as well as tile and mosaick the data. The application allows you to reference an image from either an existing reference file, or by using our popular and user friendly “point-and-click” method with an already referenced image. The tool essentially sets up a relationship between known control points and the associated pixels values of your image. The Transformer also has great file format support and cutting edge compression capabilities. Transformer supports all the major GIS file formats including read and write of the three major compression formats ECW, JPG2000, and MrSID. You can save your work out in whatever file format you need as one image, a mosaic of images or smaller tiled pieces.
Featuring MrSID write! Still the only raster tool available on the market that allows read and write to all of the major compression formats. Includes 500MBs of MrSID write free with purchase of the Geographic Transformer 6.1! More credits are available only through Blue Marble for a special discounted rate.
Historically the Geographic Translator was a stand-alone tool for Vector and CAD file translations. The features and capabilities of that product are now available in the latest version of the Geographic Calculator. If you have a current Translator support subscription you can upgrade to the Geographic Calculator for free. Get yours today!
The leading GPS interface tool for Windows! GPS answers the significant world demand for accurate, viable and cost effective positioning systems. The Geographic Tracker delivers all of the power and utility of GPS to the Windows environment by allowing you to link a GPS receiver to other Microsoft Windows applications through standard Windows DDE messaging.
2005 First Edition release of TIGER/Line® CDs and Translator Software now available!
This addition is the first in a two part series to update counties with Realigned Street Features from the MAF/TIGER (Master Address File) Accuracy project.

GeoCalc - Now available in GeoCore!
GeoCalc 6.4 is a fully object-oriented Class Library for software developers. It relies upon an XML data source, contains EPSG v6.18 (European Petroleum Survey Group) and provides support for WKT (well-known text). GeoCalc 6.4 includes new tools for improving data quality management from a development level and supports a variety of development environments and platforms. In addition, GeoCalc 6.4 supports your custom definitions and thus any other coordinate system database.
GeoTransform - Now available in GeoCore!
GeoTransform 6.0 is a C++ fully object oriented library. It leverages the world’s largest and most reliable coordinate transformation library: GeoCalc. Version 6.0 is the latest raster image file transformation and manipulation toolkit from Blue Marble Geographics. This release is a tremendous upgrade from previous versions of the toolkit. With this tool kit, users can read and write many of today's most popular GIS raster image file formats. The new SDK also adds powerful mosaicing and tiling capabilities to the single image transformation interface from previous releases. New clipping interfaces allow you to manage, manipulate, and process large datasets like never before.
GeoTranslate - Now available in GeoCore!
Easily add feature manipulation to your custom application. With this tool kit, users can read and write many of today's most popular GIS vector file formats. Users are also granted direct access to a wide variety of geometry objects, which can be created and manipulated on-the-fly. Along with these geometry objects, users are granted access to the metadata and attributes that are commonly associated with these geometries.
GeoObjects® 4.1, the latest version from Blue Marble, now has expanded map display capabilities including support for S-57, EOO and other file types. This version also has improved zoom and pan features and vastly expanded sample code and documentation. Contact us directly for more information on our affordable license pricing.

Server Based Coordinate Database Management with Blue Marble Desktop
INdicio™ CRS Registry provides an open standards-based registry of coordinate reference systems (CRS) and units of measure definitions. This registry can be hosted internally by your organization on a proprietary and central server. The Blue Marble Desktop can seamlessly access this registry for management and manipulation of the coordinate database. The Geographic Calculator's registry interface, administrative tools, and coordinate interfaces coupled with the INdicio server is the most comprehensive tool available for hosting geodetic registries. Many top Oil and Gas Exploration, Survey firms and Government organizations that require highly accurate geodetic information would greatly benefit from hosting their own internal copy of the OGP's EPSG database with these tools. This allows these organizations to customize and manage this mission critical information on their own terms.
Spatial Connect is the Spatial database engine inside the Blue Marble Desktop that provides a number of functions including:
- Connect and view any data in your ESRI geodatabases, or Oracle and PostGIS spatial systems
- Transformation - Reproject Spatial Database data, in single and batch mode
- Create - Add data to your spatial systems from any CAD or GIS source
- Visualize - Overlay all of your data in a single, easy to use view control
