Survey software for the Real World

Introducing Geoida

Geoida is a software product that will benefit members of the surveying and related professions for the day-to-day routine processing, coordination and adjustment of spatial survey data, from routine pick-up surveys to complex networks of geodetic scale.

Developed particularly for Australian requirements but with global application, Geoida uses rigorous geodetic formulae to coordinate points using user-definable parameters for any spheroid, geodetic datum or Transverse Mercator projection. Geoida reduces field observations, performs least-squares network adjustments including combined GPS and terrestrial observations, and converts and transforms coordinate data between different datums and systems. It also extracts and reports inverse details and exports point data in various formats suitable for other software. And it can also compute on the plane if required.

Geoida is a stand-alone product but can be used to complement other survey-CAD packages that do not provide geodetic computations, transformations or refined adjustments.

Geoida's Features

• User-definable spheroids, datums, transformations and Transverse Mercator projections
• Compute plane, Transverse Mercator or geographic coordinates
• Coordinate transformations using NTv2 grid-shift, 7-parameter similarity, Molodensky, zone-to-zone conversions, etc
• Convert GPS heights to orthometric using AUSGeoid grid data
• Import, list or export point data as either grid, geographic or cartesian coordinates
• Process detail pick-up, traverse and network survey data
• Manual entry of observation data, or process CDS Stadia, Civilcad Neutral and Sokkia SDR data files
• Traditional Bowditch adjustment of simple or complex traverses
• Least-squares adjustment and statistical analysis of traverses and networks
• Level network adjustment by least-squares
• Extract point-to-point geodetic inverse quantities
• Extensive built-in documentation
• MS Windows 95(c) to Windows XP



The following features will be available in the new soon-to-be-released Geoida version 5:

• Import GPS/GNSS observations for least-squares network adjustment
• 3D Least-squares network adjustment combining GNSS and terrestrial observations
• Datum localisation
• Least-squares adjustment simulation
• New Help system
• Compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7
