Blue Marble Geographics is pleased to announce the release of a new 64 bit version of the Geographic Calculator with the release of Service Pack 1. With the Geographic Calculator v2013, SP1 users have the option to work with Geographic Calculator on a 64 bit machine allowing for even faster data processing. Blue Marble’s geospatial data manipulation, visualization and conversion solutions are used worldwide by thousands of GIS analysts at software, oil and gas, mining, civil engineering, surveying, and technology companies, as well as governmental and university organizations.

Since 1993 the Geographic Calculator has been the coordinate conversion tool of choice for GIS and Survey professionals. The 2013 version of Calculator has come a long way since then and incorporates all of the functionality of the Blue Marble Desktop, including the Geographic Transformer, Translator and Spatial Connect products. Now with the release of Service Pack 1, GIS and Survey professionals will be able to accurately process their data even faster, saving them both time and money.

“This is an exciting release of the Geographic Calculator,” said Sam Knight, Director of Product Management at Blue Marble. “Being able to make strides forward into 64 bit architecture will allow the Geographic Calculator to be even more powerful, and raise the bar for geospatial data processing.”

The Geographic Calculator v2013 SP1 has also added support both Geoid 12a and the NGS, VDatum system allowing for tidal vertical references along the US Coast. In addition, Alberta Township System Summary sheets can be generated and printed, displaying well positions. There is also a new search tool for the point database tab as well as an updated Esri toolbar with geodetic area calculation tools.
