Recommended starting point
First-time users start with Quickstart and then Before the first import. The plugin chapters can be read in any order afterwards.
The example test data (orthophoto, terrain, city model from Thuringia) is available free of charge on request — see Help & Support. Current release notes and additional information at lichtbus.de/geobridge.
The German version of this help is available at geobridge-help.de.html.
