New at 10.2 and updates
The latest update can be downloaded from the Esri Support site.
Additional raster formats are now supported. This additional support will coincide with the current existing support for Bathymetric Attributed Grids (BAGs) regarding the extraction of internal metadata. Examples of additional formats that can be registered with ArcGIS for Maritime: Bathymetry include GeoTIFF, Esri Grid, ASCII Grid, and more.
The Conversion toolset has been added to the Bathymetry Tools toolbox.
Enhancements in performance and usability have been made in the Extract Depths and Depths To ASCII tool.
The Manage BIS Settings dialog box contains a new Metadata tab that allows you to edit extended and collection metadata. It opens the Extended Metadata Configuration Editor or the Collection Metadata Configuration Editor dialog box based on which option you choose; in these dialog boxes, you can add new fields, hide fields, and even add items to a drop-down list of an existing field.
