FAQ
GGF to TIF 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 TIF files?
TIF (Tagged Image File) is a popular type of raster graphic file, suitable both for handling with various types of image editing software and with scanning or printing equipment. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
