Grid Translator Pro 2.5 for Planet: See what's new in this release.

What Grid Translator Pro Does?

Grid Translator Pro (GTP) for Planet is a Mentum Planet add-on enabling Planet users to handle a wide range of raster and imaging formats within Planet.

GTP core functionality is raster data translation. GTP does:

• Import more than 70 raster formats to Planet grid format.
• Export Planet grids to standard raster formats.

Trial / Purchase

Download GTP for Planet. A 4 days fully functioning trial is available for free. The permanent version can be directly purchased through the same web page.

Why Do I Need GTP?

GTP for Planet opens all the functionalities of Planet to more than 70 raster formats including the formats of the major GIS and Imaging industry products: ArcGIS (ArcInfo), PCI, Erdas, Idrisi and Surfer.

GTP for Planet is built with Planet users in mind to allow them leverage their investment in Planet product and take advantage of the increasingly available and free data over the Internet. Examples of such data are: SRTM data (world wide), GTOPO30 (world wide) and SDTS (USA).

Whether you have a raster dataset produced by ArcInfo, Idrisi, PCI, Erdas, Geosoft or ENVI, a satellite image (SPOT, Radar, NOAA, NITF), a nautical chart (BSB), a bitmap image (GIF, Bitmap, Jpeg, PixMap), or a DEM (SRTM, SDTS, USGS DEM, GTOPO30, DTED); GTP for Planet will bring these data to Planet native format with few clicks.

In addition of importing raster datasets, GTP for Planet can export Planet grids into 3 different standard GIS formats enabling Planet grids to be used by external applications.

Supported Formats:

Using an original design GTP for Planet import and/or export Planet grids using an automated and generic process. The conversion process is batch oriented allowing users to create and/or export Planet grids from/to a wide range of data formats using a single and unified user interface.

Examples of Planet grids created using GTP for Planet:

What's new in GTP 2.5 ?

• Added support for 9 new formats that can be imported into Mentum Planet grids:

- ASCII XYZ
- ESRI ASCII Classified
- Geospatial PDF
- HF2: heightfield Format
- JPEG 2000
- NADCON .los Datum Grid Shift
- NADCON .las Datum Grid Shift
- Ozi Explorer File Format
- SAGA GIS Binary Grid File Format

• Added support of exporting datasets to 'old' Planet format (clutter and height files).

• Added support of importing compressed files directly (.zip, .gzip). :

• Integrated a new licensing model that does not requires users to request a trial license. A trial license is shipped with the product.

• Added the ability of choose the type of output grid (classified or numeric) in batch import.

• Fixed an issue with imported datasets using non earth projection. Imported grids were not fully recognized by Planet info tool.
