[Freegis-list] Tools

[WHarms@bfs.de]

thanks for the hint,
actualy i am looking for tools in the sense of software but theses maps are nice of cause :).

I would like to have a tool to digitize e.g. our 1:50K maps.
We have the offical top50 CD but i dont know the fileformat and it seems to be pretty useless if you dont have the (expensive) professional version.

btw: I try to plot a bunch of data collect from all over germany using GMT what does the geo. department in hannover use ?

Hi walter,

are you looking for data or for a GIS? I am not sure...

German vector data (NUTS III level) I recently found here:
http://www.grid.unep.ch/datasets/gnv-data.html

It's a bit tricky to understand their menu concept.
After filling out a form you can download E00 data.

This might be the Germany-including dataset:
GNV159 - 
       TERTIARY ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
       (NUTS-3) 

Direct Data access is here:
ftp://www.grid.unep.ch/pub/data/

Maybe that helps?

Regards
