Qinsy 9 Support for Custom Geoids / Hydroids

DEC 2020. QPS releases tool for migrating custom Geoids/Hydroids to Qinsy 9.

With the Qinsy 9.3.0 release (December 2020) QPS offer a tool to migrate custom geoid and hydroid models for use in generating final data products at relevant Chart Datums. The reason this is required is because in QINSy 8 the models were all listed in the Geoidmodels.xml file. In Qinsy 9 QPS started working with EPSG and WKT files. As such, the information for the Geoidmodels.xml is now also moved to WKT and each geoid model file (e.g., *.bin, *.gtx, *.grd, etc.) will be accompanied by a WKT file.

The basic workflow is as follows:

• Open any Qinsy project and select the Geoid Model Migration Tool from the Qinsy Console.
• Update the models in order to create WKT files.
• Restart Qinsy and then open the project dialog to create a new project.
• Setup your geodetics and select the user created model.
• Open the Test tool to confirm a test coordinate.
