- and a lot more interesting topics.
Additionally, companies took the chance to present their own perspectives, the newest development of the technical equipment and data processing. Photo impressions are available under http://www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/internationales_eu/geoinformation/de/projekte/gnss2008/bilder/index.shtml
