SNAP and CONCORD downloads

Information about the SNAP software suite, and how to download and install the SNAP and CONCORD programs.

Conditions of use

Downloading or using any of our geodetic software applications is taken to be acceptance of the conditions for geodetic downloads listed on the geodetic software and downloads page.

SNAP

SNAP (Survey Network Adjustment Package) is a suite of programs for adjusting the coordinates of stations in a survey network to best fit the observed data. SNAP can use:

  • GPS baselines or multi-station vector and point data
  • horizontal angles
  • zenith distances
  • slope and horizontal distances
  • azimuths
  • projection bearings
  • levelled height differences
  • latitude
  • longitude
  • height observations.

SNAP runs on most recent 64 bit versions of Windows.  

To install SNAP, extract and run the installation file snap_install.msi

Some of the programs supplied with SNAP will only work if a perl interpreter has been installed. A version of perl for Windows can be downloaded from the Strawberry perl website. 

CONCORD

CONCORD is a component of SNAP that converts coordinates between various systems, including:

  • New Zealand Map Grid coordinates
  • Meridional Circuit coordinates  
  • New Zealand Geodetic Datum 1949 (NZGD49)  
  • New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000) latitude and longitude coordinates.  

CONCORD is operated by running commands in a Command Prompt window.

CONCORD can be downloaded separately from the SNAP suite. To install it, extract the contents of the zip file into a folder and set the include the full path of the folder in the PATH environment variable.

  4. select the downloaded zip file in the Install package dialog add the package to SNAP
  5. restart snap_manager.

The following SNAP add-on packages are currently available.  

LINZ geodetic contractor tools

The LINZ geodetic contractor tools package has been developed for use by contractors providing geodetic survey and maintenance services to Toitū Te Whenua. It provides support for managing test adjustments and compiling files which comply with contract specifications.
