Created: 2019-04-03Last modified: 2019-04-03
Carlson SurvPC now supports the Romanian Stereographic Marea Negra 1975 Grid Projections and Geoids.

You must download and install the English Version 2.52 or higher.  Please contact your Local Dealer if you need help upgrading to Version 2.52 or higher.

To check your SurvPC version you can tap the Equip tab then tap "About SurvPC"

In this new build if you tap Equip / Localization / System Tab = tap "Edit Projection List" then tap "Add Predefined"

After setting your Country to "ROMANIA" you will see two new "Predefined" coordinate systems:
"Stereographic 1970-Marea Negra 1975" 
"Stereographic 1930-Marea Negra 1975"


Please let us know if the Coordinate Results from these files are not within the expected tolerance.
