Very affordable and easy to use

Hydromagic Survey is a professional hydrographic survey package, which can be used to map depth areas using an echo sounder.

The software is very affordable and the learning curve is very short. You can start creating your first sounding within a single day.

Hydromagic Dredging is a dredge monitoring package which allows you to monitor and record dredging depths of your cutter, suction or backhoe dredge. The software supports a wide range of motion, inclinometer and bubbler sensors.

A free demo version package, containing both the Hydromagic Survey and Hydromagic Dredging programs, is available for free on the download page.

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.

Generate a matrix and depth contours from your corrected soundings.	Use the "Terrain Viewer" to get a detailed 3D image of the bottom.

Import side scan sonar data as map overlay in Hydromagic Survey.	Monitor dredging depth of your cutter, suction or backhoe dredger.

Support for GNSS (RTK) receivers

The software can communicate with almost any (NMEA0183 compatible) GPS or RTK receiver to retrieve your current position and height, and show it on one of the support raster or vector maps. In addition, with a RTK receiver, you can calculate tide levels in real-time.

Support for echo sounders

Hydromagic offers support for a wide range of professional single and dual frequency hydrographic echo sounders from popular brands like CEE HydroSystems, Odom, STN Atlas, SyQwest and more.

Support for other sensors

Besides GNSS and echo sounder, also other hardware, such as a tide receiver, magnetometer, motion or tilt sensor, heading sensor (compass) or an AIS receiver can be connected. for a full list of supported echosounders and other hardware click here.

Geodesy

To display a part of the globe on a display, a map projection is needed to prevent distortion of the map data. The software is shipped with a database containing over 5000 predefined local and global map datums and grids.
