World Grid Shift Files

Introduction

When projecting a dataset between two different datums, a transformation is required. Both equation-based and grid-based transformation methods are supported by MicroSurvey products. An equation-based transformation can use either a 3-parameter (dX, dY, dZ) or a 7-parameter transformation (dX, dY, dZ, rX, rY, rZ, ds) to translate between coordinates. A grid-based transformation uses binary files and interpolations that calculate the differences between the two geographic coordinate systems.

Mapping Folder Paths

The table below indicates the path to the Mapping folder where the contents of the ZIP files will be extracted..

Product Operating System Location
MicroSurvey CAD (similar for inCAD, embeddedCAD, etc.) Windows Vista or later C:\ProgramData\MicroSurvey\MSCAD\yyyy\mscad\Mapping\
FieldGenius (similar for EVR and Layout) Windows Vista or later C:\ProgramData\MicroSurvey\FieldGenius\yyyy\Mapping\
FieldGenius (similar for EVR and Layout) Win CE or Mobile (Path may vary)\MicroSurvey FieldGenius\Programs\Mapping\
FieldGenius for Android Android 6.0+ \\Internal Storage\FieldGenius\Mapping
(Verson 2.0 and newer can use the Gridshift Library within the program)
STAR*NET Windows Vista or later C:\ProgramData\MicroSurvey\StarNet\V?\Mapping\

The mobile products will only display certain coordinate systems once the required files are present in the Mapping folder.

Downloads

Each ZIP file contains applicable files and instructions on where to copy the files. Please contact MicroSurvey if you require support for additional transformations.
