Hi Domenico,

Here it is:

  • GdalProjectionConverter uses the native unmanaged GDAL library. It’s generally faster and supports the latest EPSG definitions. However, it’s platform-specific (not supported on mobile) and not inherently thread-safe.
  • ProjectionConverter is part of ThinkGeo.Core . It’s fully managed code, cross-platform, and thread-safe. The trade-off is that it’s slower and may lag behind GDAL in terms of EPSG updates.

Thanks,
Ben
