The survey office of the city of Wiesbaden decided in favor of the CityGuide DMS software by Webnologic
Internet Systems during the summer of 2001. The software makes it possible for the city to publish it’s most
diverse maps internally and online on it’s homepage
www.wiesbaden.de as the so called „Stadtplan“.
Currently, CityGuide DMS is launched approximately
290.000 times per month. In addition to that the city
published a “City Atlas” and a “Real Estate Indicator”
CD-ROM with Webnologic Internet Systems.
CityGuide DMS is a unique visualization software on the
market, capable of including any number of maps and
objects that the city survey office itself is able to
implement into the software.
Our next project with Webnologic Internet Systems is
the realization of a 3D Model of the metropolitan area
of Wiesbaden.
