FAQ
GGF to DRW Conversion
What are GGF files?
GGF is the Trimble Grid File, a binary format that stores a geoid model as a regular grid of values. Geoid heights describe the separation between the reference ellipsoid used by GNSS receivers and mean sea level, so a GGF file lets Trimble field and office software convert ellipsoidal heights from satellite measurements into elevations above sea level. Each file represents one geoid model, such as a national or regional model, and the right file is chosen according to the geoid defined in the project's coordinate system. Files can be large, and Trimble Business Center offers to cut a smaller sub-grid for the survey area before sending a file to a field device.
What are DRW files?
DRW stands for "Drawing" and represents a vector graphics format associated primarily with Corel Draw, but also with other advanced graphics design programs, including Microsoft Picture It!, Paint Shop Pro, Micrografx, Igrafx etc. The DRW format is supported both on Windows and Mac applications (on MacDraw and AppleWorks) and stores images and drawings constructed with lines or paths, instead of dots.
