Coordinate Reference Systems

Within CivilGEO’s software, every data layer has its own coordinate reference system (CRS) which is used to integrate it with other data layers within the Map View. If a data layer has been added to a…

If projected coordinate reference system (CRS) has yet been assigned to the project, then assigning a base map layer (i.e., Hybrid Map Bing, etc.) will automatically assign the Google Mercator coordin…

CivilGEO’s software provides support for custom projected coordinate reference systems. Select File | Map Coordinates from the ribbon menu to view the Map Coordinates backstage page. From the Map Coor…

When CivilGEO’s software starts up, a new, empty project Map View is created using a local coordinate reference system (CRS). However, to display external data correctly on the Map View, a projected C…

There are two common types of coordinate reference systems (CRS) used in engineering: A geographical coordinate reference system uses latitude–longitude coordinates to map the earth’s spherical surfac…
