FAQ
ISG to ICO Conversion
What are ISG files?
ISG is a text file format of the International Service for the Geoid, an official service of the International Association of Geodesy, based at the Politecnico di Milano in Italy. The service collects geoid models from many countries and republishes them in this single format, so that users do not have to deal with a different file layout for every country. A geoid model describes the shape of the surface of mean sea level, and it is what allows heights from satellite positioning to be converted into heights above sea level. A file of this type holds the geoid heights as numbers on a regular net of points, accompanied by a header that names the model, its author and year, and the area it covers. Some files also hold models given at scattered points.
What are ICO files?
ICO files contain the images used as icons for files, folders or programs on the Microsoft Windows platform. The icons appear on the desktop, in Windows Explorer or in the Start Menu and help identify each item. ICO images are generally of a small size, are scalable, and they can also serve as website logos or symbols that appear in the web browser next to the URL. The equivalent of ICO files on Mac computers is called ICNS.
