JViews Maps can transform coordinates delivered by one geodetic system to those based on another. For example, you can transform coordinates from a satellite-based system to those based on the national geodetic system of a particular country. Additionally you can set the ellipsoid and the datum you require.
JViews Maps supports the following projections:
The projection system is flexible and extensible. For example, you can develop your own specific projection algorithms and integrate them with the product.
Each projection system supports configurable ellipsoids:
You can define your own ellipsoids, entering the major axis and inverse flattening values.
JViews Maps comes with more than 200 predefined datum.
For accuracy up to a meter, ILOG JViews Maps provides the following DATUM transformation method:
You can develop your own DATUM algorithm. APIs allow access to the data model and return computational results for display.
