Hydromagic by Eye4Software B.V.

Professional hydrographic survey software for Windows

Easy to use, single beam hydrographic software

Eye4Software Hydromagic is a professional hydrographic survey package, which can be used to map depth areas using an echo sounder and GNSS receiver. The software is very affordable and the learning curve is very short. You can start creating your first sounding within a single day. Our website contains a lot of free training material so you will be able to learn the software without expensive courses.

Some application examples

• Record sounding data using a (hydrographic) echo sounder and GNSS (RTK) receiver;
• Calculate volumes of river sections, pits, ponds, lakes and reservoirs, for instance in the mining industry;
• Create depth contours and save them as AutoCAD DXF or Google Earth, ESRI Shape or KML/KMZ files;
• Create a regularly spaced grid(s) from sounding data, and export it as DXF, KML or ASCII file;
• Calculate tide levels using a RTK receiver, using a provided antenna height and loaded geoid model;
• Use the built in coordinate calculator to convert hydrographic data files between different map projections.

Product Features
