- Are survey CSV, KML/KMZ, or AutoCAD DXF files uploaded to a server?
- No. Every coordinate transformation, KMZ archive extraction, geometry simplification, and AutoCAD R12 DXF generation runs locally in browser JavaScript with zero server uploads, logins, or credit limits.
- How accurate are projected datum transformations and web-map measurements?
- Ellipsoidal distances and bearings use Vincenty's WGS84 geodesic formulas (sub-millimeter computational accuracy) and authalic spherical surface areas. Datum transformations use published PROJ4 Helmert 3/7-parameter shifts (~1–5 m regional accuracy); for legal cadastral boundaries or millimeter-grade stakeout, always verify against official national NTv2 distortion grids and local GNSS control monuments.
- Which CAD applications open the generated DXF files?
- All exported drawings conform to the ASCII AutoCAD Release 12 (AC1009) specification with explicit $EXTMIN/$EXTMAX bounding extents, $INSUNITS, $PDMODE/$PDSIZE point display headers, and typed layers, opening cleanly in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, BricsCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD, and QGIS.
- Can I unpack compressed Google Earth .kmz archives directly?
- Yes. Both the Interactive Map Studio and the GIS File Converter Studio decompress .kmz ZIP archives directly in memory using JSZip and parse the embedded doc.kml without external archive utilities.
