ENC SDK

Electronic charts inside your application.

ENC SDK: what goes in and what comes out

From exchange set to answer

01

Read any exchange set

From a directory, a ZIP file or a GDAL VSI path.

02

Plan the updates

Works out which cells and updates to install, with a reason for every file.

03

Write cell by cell

Builds only the changed cells, one transaction per cell, and logs each update.

04

Ask what is at a point

Attributes, related objects and the passport of the cell, in one pick report.

One call to import

importExchangeSet reads the set, plans the updates against what the store already holds, builds the changed cells and writes them. Most applications only need two headers.
