GeoDLL - Geodetic Software Developer Kit
http://www.killetsoft.de/p_gdla_e.htm
----------------------------------------
GeoDLL supports the development of geodetic software on several
platforms by providing geodetic functions. GeoDLL contains precise
calculations of the categories Coordinate Transformation, Distance
Calculation, Digital Elevation Model, NTv2 handling and BeTA2007
support, Direct / Inverse solutions, Map functions, Time Zone
calculations and geodetic converting functions.

GeoDLL performs Coordinate Transformations fast and with high
accuracy. For this purpose the DLL supports thousands of world-wide
Coordinate Systems, geodetic Reference Systems, Reference System
Transitions (geodetic datum shifts) and Meridian Strip Transitions,
user-defined systems, 2D/3D transformations, INSPIRE, NTv2, HARN,
BeTA2007, EPSG, GPS, Continental Drift and more.

The operating system WINDOWS provides software developers the
opportunity to use prepared functions of third-parties in their own
software applications. Thus, geodetic functions of GeoDLL can be
linked to programs written in C, C++, C#, Java, Delphi, MS-Office,
Visual Basic, CA-Visual Objects or which are written in other
programming languages. To support the GeoDLL, examples and interfaces
with source code for many commonly used programming languages are
provided.

GeoDLL comes with extensive documentation and is supplied as DLL file
or as C++ source code for 32bit and 64bit architectures. The DLL is
written in C++ and was developed with Microsoft Visual Studio. Thus
very fast performance, compact code and high stability are assured.
The geodesic functions of GeoDLL are arranged in function groups that
can be licensed separately.

GeoDLL is very versatile and holds a large variety of possibilities
to solve your geodetic tasks. Detailed information is available on
the website http://www.killetsoft.de/p_gdla_e.htm. It would be best
if you download the free trial version of GeoDLL from that website
and try the possibilities of the DLL by linking its geodetic
functions in your own application.

Here the features of GeoDLL are listed in short form:
