Killet Software Ing.-GbR, geo software developer based in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, supplemented its function library GeoDLL with a module for the use of Digital Elevation Models. The distribution of the GeoDLL version 10.10 starts on 15th of June.
 
GeoDLL can be used by enterprises, which develop their own geodetic software or work in-house with geodetic software. Precise functions are contained in it about the topics datum and coordinate transformation, coordinate and reference system, distance calculation, Digital Elevation Model, mapping and converting. The functions can be linked as Dynamic Link Library or as C++ sourcecode platform spreading into own applications.
 
The latest version of GeoDLL now contains functions to use Digital Elevation Models (DEM) to determine ground level elevations of arbitrary points on the earth's surface. Thereby the focal point of all considerations is the aspect of cost saving. GeoDLL uses the data of the 3 seconds elevation model (90 m raster) CGIAR and of the 30 seconds elevation model (1 km raster) GLOBE, which are free available with some restrictions. Both systems were developed by the NASA and can be downloaded free of charge from the Internet. Considering the copyrights this data may be used for the solution of many geodetic tasks. The distribution of the GeoDLL functions supporting Digital Elevation Models starts at the 15th of June with a net price beginning at 400,- Euro. Detailed information, a GeoDLL test version and the possibility to pace a pre-order you can find in the Internet at the address http://www.killetsoft.com/p_gdld_e.htm.

Accuracy check
 
Our products TRANSDAT, GeoDLL and BetaDLL supports transformations with the NTv2 standard BeTA2007. The German "Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Vermessungsverwaltungen" (ADV) therefore provides a set of test data. Comparative calculations with the test data attest an accuracy with an average deviation of only 0.02 millimeters.

TRANSDAT language files
 
The latest version 13.32 supports language files for the programs interface. Since the language dependent texts are managed in external files, new languages can be added at any time by creating new language files. Every user of the program can compile language files by himself.

Geo Data German Admin
 
The administrative data bases of the Federal Republic of Germany "GeoData German Admin" were updated on the data conditions of January 1st, 2010! The databases contain Towns and Municipalities, Town Quarters, Administrative Units, Postal Codes, Telephone Preselections, Snow and Wind Load Zones, Nature Area Classifications and Landscapes.

Price reduced!
 
Since February we have a new contract with our data supplier. The prices for spatial data on street and building levels have been reduced substantially. The up to 65 percent cheaper prices we pass directly to our customers!

New product BetaDLL
 
BetaDLL is a programming library with coordinate transformations and NTv2 datum shifts with the German BeTA2007 standard for calling from own applications or the use as C++ source code.
