FAQ
GVB to PDF Conversion
What are GVB files?
GVB is a datum grid shift file that follows the NTv2 (National Transformation version 2) model, created by the Geodetic Survey of Natural Resources Canada. Such a file helps convert map coordinates between two geodetic datums, which are different mathematical models of the Earth, so that old and new survey data line up correctly. It covers an area with a net of points and stores, for each of them, how far latitude and longitude have to be moved, usually with an estimate of the accuracy of the shift. A program finds the points nearest to a location and calculates the exact correction between them. Files with this structure are used by national mapping agencies and surveyors, and they are particularly valuable for cadastral and engineering work, where small errors matter.
What are PDF files?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is one of the most popular formats used for storing document files which include both text and graphics. As opposed to other formats with a similar function, PDFs can be easily transferred between different applications and different operating systems, and generally don't have a very large size. Moreover, they can offer decent image quality in a compressed format and can be secured with passwords or watermarks.
