Hi
My colleages i Nordjyllands Amt (County) has used Wings for several years in
their department of nature conservation and monitoring. The have now moved
to ArcInfo/ArcView, but you could still try to contact Poul Toft at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] The strength of Wings was it's capabillity to work with scanned
(on a desktop scanner) aerial photograps. But you will need a lot of control
points and then there will still be a significant positional error due to
differences in heigth and the central projection of the scanned photo.
Another weakness is the very bad eksport, which caused a lot of problems
when they tried to move their wings data to arcview (wings can share linies
between different regions but has big difficulties in exporting all it's
information, in worst case you will end with only the first regions drawn,
but will miss the next who is sharering a border with one of the first
region's).
And last, Wings is primary a draw and look program, not a GIS like
Mapinfo/ArcView capable of more advanced analyses.
