- territorial management

 

Overview

WinEDT is a desktop/laptop based territorial management system for Windows designed to allow fast, flexible management of geographic data (raster, vector, GPS, etc.). The system is specifically aimed to the applications requiring land shape data, and supports variable step elevation matrix models (DEMs). Model subsets can be selected in order to produce a current DEM (Digital Elevation Model) for faster and more flexible processing. WinEDT uses a list of pre-defined data presentation levels which can be easily user activated. These levels include differently processed DEM model data, administrative borders and names, ... Furthermore, users may add custom made data by addressing independent matrix files (such as numeric raster mapping, see WinGEO), georeferenced elements (such as bitmaps, texts, polygons, etc.) through external ASCII files and data returned by a GPS receiver.

   

With the addition of two external modules, the system also allows direct management of the DeAgostini 1:250,000 raster mapping of Italy and – at much higher scale – of several Italian towns.

 

Features

Main features

WinEDT provides a basic set of advanced functions:

• Simultaneous coordinates conversion
• Point related information
  • coordinates
  • elevation
  • center view
  • Top elevation in a given area
  • Distance and azimut between two locations (along a geodetic rath)
  • model extraction
  • DEM interpolation

And other generic functions, such as:

• DEM edit affecting
  • single spots
  • lines
  • areas
• Search for municipalities and geographic names
• Current scale factor display

as well as specific calculations, such as:

• Point to Point cross section
• Optical sight areas evaluation
• Coverage areas
• 3D modeling calculation of the horizon elevation diagram
• Reference grids, both geographical and projection dependent
• Automatic location of a repeater, maps generation, polygons
