Software development & validation for Geodetic Datum Transformations
The output for the point- Penc was as follows :
X = 4052388.378
Y = 1417749.100
Z = 4701410.756
Unfortunately, the limited database of points in Bhuj, acted as a bottleneck in trying to work out results with the program on points of interest in the region. GPS coordinates of the points in the region are readily available, but the local coordinates are not.
Conclusion
The software can transform coordinates accurately between any two geodetic datum's, provided the necessary database of points is available. The software can be put to use more effectively if its made into an executable file, so that it doesn't require the user to reach for a computer, or compile and run the program each time he wishes to transform coordinates. Unfortunately. the C-programming language has a shortcoming in this regard, in that the program is compiler dependant. So it's executable file from an Unix environment can't be used elsewhere.
