PlexMap Apps: The right tool for every application.
PlexMap apps are specialized map applications for visualizing geodata. The following list provides an overview of the currently available PlexMap apps. Each application has a specific range of functions and is automatically delivered with the corresponding Switchboard functions and the PlexMap Magazine. Of course, you can combine multiple apps immediately or add them later.
Visualize and edit 2D geodata on the Internet.
Create and manage your digital twin online
Optimize oblique aerial images for the web and display them online.
A next-generation heat register.
Process point clouds and display them online.
Recognizing and utilizing solar potential.
Identify and exploit potential for green roofs.
Establish location portals for marketing vacant properties and commercial space.
Visualize 360° street panorama images online, regardless of manufacturer.

The Federal City of Bonn relies on regular, high-resolution imagery flights to implement the digital twin, particularly for deriving a 3D mesh. To visualize the acquired data, Bonn relies on PlexMap 3D, including PlexMap Plans, PlexMap Oblique, and PlexMap 2D. Furthermore, BIM and “XPlanung” data are integrated into the digital twin via our interface.

In a joint project between Hamburger Energiewerke and the State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying, Geoplex has created a solar cadastre for the 755.09 km² state of Hamburg.
With the solar cadastre, Hamburger Energiewerke aims to give citizens of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg the opportunity to assess the solar potential on their own roofs free of charge and impartially.

The city of Stuttgart has been using PlexMap 3D to visualize its digital twin since 2015. In subsequent years, the instance was expanded to include PlexMap Oblique, PlexMap Street360°, PlexMap Points, and PlexMap Portal. The in-house continuation of the 3D city model in LOD 1 and LOD 2 is also based on PlexMap.

“With the solar cadastre for Cologne, we want to make it easier for people to access solar energy and thus further advance the expansion of photovoltaics in Cologne,” says William Wolfgramm, Deputy Mayor for Climate, Environment, Green Spaces and Real Estate for the City of Cologne.
The 1,084,831 citizens of North Rhine-Westphalia’s most populous city have been using a Geoplex solar cadastre since 2024. In addition to the actual solar cadastre, the City of Cologne has also launched its own solar exchange.

The 3D geoportal of the Canton of Basel-Stadt has been online with PlexMap 3D since 2022. The application is based on the city’s CityGML model. To provide users with the most realistic picture of the urban area possible, the forest and individual tree population of the city of Basel was integrated into PlexMap 3D via an automated switchboard workflow. A connection to the city’s geodata shop was also implemented.

Since 2018, the Thuringian Energy and Greentech Agency (ThEGA) has been using PlexMap Solar to provide Thuringia’s statewide solar cadastre. Users can calculate the potential for both traditional rooftop and open-space photovoltaic systems. In 2024, the system was further expanded to include a statewide solar exchange.

The low trade tax rate is one of many incentives for companies to come to Leverkusen. However, suitable real estate or commercial space must then be found. To make this easier, the Leverkusen Economic Development Agency (WfL) and the City of Leverkusen have launched an online location portal via PlexMap Immo. “We want to be the first point of contact for companies that want to settle here or relocate within Leverkusen,” says Markus Märtens, WfL Managing Director.

The State Agency for the Environment (LUBW) is committed to the statewide Baden-Württemberg’s solar cadastre is now available on PlexMap Solar. Around 11,000,000 people live in Baden-Württemberg, covering an area of 35,751 km², and since 2021 they have been able to assess the solar potential on their own roofs neutrally and free of charge. “The sun is our most valuable energy source and an important partner in achieving our climate goals (…). The new solar roof cadastre shows how much untapped solar potential exists in Baden-Württemberg,” said Environment Minister Thekla Walker.
