Blue Marble Geographics (www.bluemarblegeo.com) is pleased to announce the release of the Geographic Calculator 7.4 via the Blue Marble Desktop 2.1, the all-in-one geospatial data management platform for Blue Marble's popular data transformation tools.

 This release also introduces the first commercially available support for HTDP (Horizontal Time Dependant Positioning), users can now apply transformations based on the high accuracy toolkit from the National Geodetic Survey, to the many data formats supported by the Blue Marble Desktop. Whether it is coordinate, vector, or raster data the Blue Marble Desktop allows you to address your data conversion challenges in the same application interface with powerful conversion and transformation tools.
 
The Blue Marble Desktop 2.1 HTDP functionality will allow users to account for the horizontal displacements and/or horizontal velocities related to movements of the Earth's crust in the United States and its territories.  This enhancement enables users to update positional coordinates and/or geodetic observations to a user-specified date. HTDP supports activities for coordinates in the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD_83).

Blue Marble Desktop 2.1 also has enhanced support for Alberta Township System version 4.1. An enhancement to the universal well identifier format, within Geographic Calculator 7.4, will be based on the specific section corner as specified by the Universal Well Identifier.
