VDatum is a free software tool being developed jointly by NOAA'sNational Geodetic Survey (NGS), Office of Coast Survey (OCS), and Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS). VDatum is designed to vertically transform geospatial data among a variety of tidal, orthometric and ellipsoidal vertical datums - allowing users to convert their data from different horizontal/vertical references into a common system and enabling the fusion of diverse geospatial data in desired reference levels.

VDatum software is written in Java, so it runs on Mac OS X, Unix, VMP, and Windows. About Java Home
