Technical note

What changes when you convert GRC to GBR

Geospatial coordinates are absolute positions on the earth, and they are large: a projected easting runs to six or seven digits, while latitude and longitude are small decimals. GBR expects a drawing laid out near its own origin in millimetres or inches. The geometry itself converts correctly, but it can land tens of kilometres from 0,0, or arrive at a scale where an entire county is forty units across. Zoom to extents first, then measure one known distance before dimensioning anything. How good the result is depends almost entirely on the GRC going in. Clean line art, a logo or a drawing scanned at 300 dpi or more traces into geometry you can work with. A photograph does not: continuous tone has no contours to follow, so tracing it produces thousands of tiny shapes and a file nobody can edit. Scan or export at the highest resolution available, and prefer a lossless original, because compression artefacts along an edge become ripples in the traced path.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as GBR opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from GRC in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to GBR with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

GRC to GBR Conversion

What are GRC files?

GRC is the classified grid format of Vertical Mapper, a spatial analysis add-on originally created by Northwood Geoscience in Canada and later acquired by MapInfo. A file of this type is a map made of equal cells, and each cell carries a category rather than a measurement, for example a land use class, a soil type, or a signal strength range. The category names and colors are stored with the map, so it can be displayed immediately. Its numeric counterpart, the .grd file, stores smoothly varying values such as elevation. The GRC format is widely used for mobile network planning, where coverage predictions around cell towers are saved as classified grids, and it is also used in mapping, environmental analysis, and land management.

What are GBR files?

GBR is part of the Gerber group of formats — a set of standardized extensions used in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber files include 2-D representations of various PCB images, such as copper layers, solder mask etc. They can also describe the electrical connections on such boards, or drilling and milling info associated with them. Similar formats include GBS, CMP and SOL.

Can reaConverter convert GRC to GBR?
