  • Export from GstarCAD to Google Earth (KML or KMZ), Shapefiles (SHP), Points (many formats), MapInfo, PostGIS, SQL Server, SQLite, and many more geospatial targets.

  • Transformation of coordinates when needed in any process.

  • Drawings Coordinate System transformation.

  • Backgrounds Maps powerful and easy to use.

  • Search Locations.

  • Terrain functions including 3D points from elevation services, DTM meshes, contours, etc.
