Order TOPOWINTOPOWIN is a state-wide register of the German Topographic Cartographies, the German Basic Cartography and of localities with geo references in different coordinate systems. It is also a topographic information system.
In the division of planning and execution of economical and scientific projects frequently topographic documents are used. The program TOPOWIN makes information available of the official topographic cartographies and the German Basic Cartography from the entire national territory in suitable graphic views. It accomplishes different coordinate transformations and inquiries. The program was developed under co-operation of the land surveying authorities of many Federal States of Germany. For the first time in the previous version TOPO (for DOS) and later in TOPOWIN state-wide topographic information were arranged for the data technical evaluation. The program is for consulting engineers, planning authorities and users of topographic maps a useful and versatile tool.
The topographical maps of different standards, required for a project, can be determined by the complaint of known parameters or by the direct selection from overview graphics and from sorted lists. By the investigation of topographical records on the basis of known places, a data base with more then 105.000 places and residential districts is available.
The program TOPOWIN calculates with Gauss Krueger coordinates and Geographic Coordinates referring to the Potsdam Datum (Bessel ellipsoid with central point Rauenberg). It also works with UTM coordinates and UTMRef coordinates in the NATO standard, which refer to the datum ETRS89 (GRS80 / WGS84, geocentric).
Zur Suche von Karten und zur Berechnung von Kartenparametern können die hier aufgeführten Parameter direkt in die Eingabefelder des Programms eingetragen werden:
Zur Auswahl aus separaten Fenstern stehen zur Verfügung:
Nach der Eingabe eines Wertes oder der Auswahl aus der Übersicht oder einer Liste errechnet das Programm die hier aufgeführten Werte bzw. führt entsprechende Koordinatentransformationen durch:
Nach der Eingabe stehen die folgenden Informationen in separaten Fenstern graphisch aufbereitet zur Verfügung. In allen Ansichten ist der aktuelle Lagepunkt eingetragen.
Weitere Möglichkeiten, die das Programm bietet:
TOPOWIN eignet sich zum Bearbeiten von ASCII-Steuerdateien, in denen bekannte Suchkriterien (verschiedene Koordinaten, Blattnamen oder -nummern der TK25, TK50, TK100 oder TKÜ200, Ortschaften, Gemeindeschlüssel, Objektbeschreibungen) eingetragen sind. Nach der Auswahl der zu berechnenden Parameter oder Eckkoordinaten (siehe Liste weiter oben) werden diese ermittelt und in eine ASCII-Ausgabedatei geschrieben. Diese Programmfunktion eignet sich gut für umfangreiche Koordinatentransformationen und zur Ermittlung von Kartenkennwerten und Eckkoordinaten. Zum Erstellen der Steuerdateien und zum Anzeigen der Ausgabedateien sind in TOPOWIN geeignete Editoren enthalten. Die Eingabe- und Ausgabedateien können mit allen Texteditoren und mit fast allen Textverarbeitungsprogrammen erzeugt bzw. bearbeitet werden.
TOPOWIN can be run on most common networks. The client installations works automatically. It is possible to use Terminal Services on WINDOWS Servers like e.g. "Citrix Terminal Server".
Because the program TOPOWIN is a quite complex database application, some requirements to the hardware are to be fulfilled for its perfect working. To ensure stable performance it should be installed on a personal computer with the processor class 80486 or higher and at least 32 MB RAM available. The program will run under Microsoft WINDOWS 95 / 98 / 2000 / XP / NT and compatible operating systems.

Spatial data updates
The contract between a data distributor and GeoKontor was terminated in June 2008.
With immediate effect, KilletSoft has been commissioned to organize an update service for the spatial data ("geodata") acquired by them in the years 2006 to 2008 at the level of Zip code (post code), streets and individual buildings.
Please contact us if you require an update of such data.
Administrative Reform in Saxonia
The administrative data bases of the Federal Republic of Germany "Geo Data German Admin" were updated to the reference date of August 1st, 2008!
Thus the changes due to the administrative reform in Saxonia are included in all data bases.

GeoDLL supports 3D coordinate- transformations
After our Dynamic Link Library has become super fast by recoding to C++, GeoDLL now is able to calculate 3D coordinate transformations considering the ellipsoidical heights.
As well calculations with cartesian coordinates are possible now.
