Datasource Settings

The Datasource tab is located in Settings, accessible from the Calculator tab.

Datasource settings are used to Add or Remove custom Datasources and geodetic definitions to your local instance of Geographic Calculator Cloud.

 

Once imported, geodetic definitions are accessible from the Search tool, and from respective pickers in the Calculator tools. Imported objects are in blue text to stand out from the default Datasource objects.

The Search tool can be used to view and copy existing CRS and CT definitions as WKT or GML, and all other definitions as GML.

When Custom Datasource files are removed from the Datasource tab in Settings, the changes will not be reflected in the user’s local instance until the application page has been refreshed.

All custom objects and definitions can be exported from the desktop version of Geographic Calculator as XML format (.xsp).

Coordinate systems and transformations are also able to be imported/exported from the desktop application in a variety of reference formats, including:

  • PRJ
  • WKT
  • WKT2

At this time, support is unavailable for import of Datasource objects from ESRI PE DB or GML formats.

Supported File Formats:

Coordinate Systems: WKT, WKT2, PRJ
