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 reside in the same desktop window along with a Spatial Connect module for working directly with spatial databases. Access all of these available features in a single interface through a combined license.
Whether you are working with coordinate, vector, CAD, raster, 3D, LiDAR, DEMs, DTEDs 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.
The Blue Marble Desktop enables users to edit and share the same geodetic datasource (GeoCalc.xml) across your organization regardless of location. It also features a Project Manager that allows administrators and managers to create, save and share data conversion projects which can be made available to many users. Managers can also pre-configure the geodetic datasource, ensuring high quality data conversion and minimize costly mistakes.

Version 2.3 contains major enhancements to the geographic envelope system, which allows users to organize their geodetic data source objects like never before. New filtering capabilities allow the user to sort coordinate systems, enforce the use of specific horizontal datum transformation methods, and datum transformations depending on the geographic area of use (ie: location in the world). Users can also define custom polygon envelopes simply by importing a vector file or physically creating one with our envelope creation tool! All of this functionality can be used through our Geographic Calculator extension for work in ArcMap. This grants expert users the ability to guide more novice users with preferred coordinate transformation logic!
Blue Marble has also added several updates to the GeoCalc libraries, including many new vertical reference models. Users may now define arbitrary vertical offsets within a specific Geoid model. A new MetaData Editor Tool now supports the read and write of XML and text-based metadata files which are compliant with both FGDC and Esri. This will provide users with maximum flexibility when managing and manipulating their geospatial data.
