Carmenta Engine 5.2 Released

Product News   //   Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Carmenta today announced that Carmenta Engine 5.2 is now shipping.

New functionality includes:

  • Carmenta Engine 64-bit version. Support for building native 64-bit applications on 64-bit Windows versions. This means that Carmenta Engine now can operate with other 64-bit components (such as 64-bit databases) in applications. Another advantage is that 64-bit applications can allocate more than 3 GB of internal memory. This can lead to significant performance improvements, since applications can store larger quantities of data in the fast internal memory.
  • Nautical Charts according to S57 and S52 Standards. Carmenta Engine 5.2 introduces a new extension that enables reading and rendering of nautical charts according to the International Hydrographic Organization’s S57 and S52 standards.
  • Real-Time Label and Symbol Deconfliction. It is now possible to use the Carmenta Engine’s sophisticated text and symbol placement algorithms in real-time and in ‘moving map’ systems.
  • STANAG 2019 APP-6B Tactical Symbology Support.
  • Coordinate Formatting and Parsing Utilities. Handy methods for handling coordinate strings, e.g. longitude/latitude to/from MGRS notation.
  • Geographic JPEG 2000 Support.
  • OGC WCS Support. Read OGC coverage data (i.e. raster data) directly from map servers that implement the Open Geospatial Consortium Web Coverage Service (WCS) standard.
