The Hydrographic Survey Software for Windows allows users to load maps, create soundings, generate Terrain Models, contour depths, create cross-sections, and volume calculations; combined, all of which offer extensive hydrographic survey experiences.

Users can perform various methods to calculate volumes of basins, ponds, river sections, and lakes with ease. The software supports most popular CAD, GIS, and nautical chart formats including GeoTIFF, Microstation DGN, ARC/INFO, MapInfo MIF/MID, AutoCAD DXF files, IHO S57/S63 Electronic Nautical Charts, Google Earth KML/KMZ files, and ESRI shapefiles.
With more than 5000 built-in map projections and support for NTv2, NADCON, and HARN correction grids, the software is highly flexible. It also facilitates real-time calculation of tide levels by using an RTK receiver connected to the PC. Tide levels are calculated and applied to the sounding using the antenna height, antenna offset, and geoid model, providing height values relative to the local vertical datum.
The software's map downloading tool enables users to download and use OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, or Bing maps as background maps even if no map is available for their area. A major improvement is the ability to collect and process dual-frequency sounding data, as well as additional sensor data such as magnetometer data or advanced data from echosounders. The software also allows users to use shorelines to clip their DTM data, add data collected near the shore, or create islands.
Moreover, users can calculate a DTM or depth contours from multiple soundings or shorelines and even perform their surveys by using planned lines. With just a press of a single key, users can start a new line, which makes using the software more efficient and time-saving. Overall, Eye4Software Hydromagic is an excellent software that is worth trying out for those who need to generate hydrographic survey data.
