GP4 to SHP Conversion
What are GP4 files?
GP4 is an image extension included in the CALS group of formats. CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) represents an initiative undertaken by the Department of Defence in the United States in the 1980s, with the aim of creating a standard for storing and linking military data. Similar formats include CG4, CAL and CALS. Most formats that are part of the CALS group are currently considered rare and obsolete.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
