Extensive File Format Support

No add-ons or additional licenses needed for the support of over 300 file
formats covering vector, raster, elevation, and point cloud data types in Global
Mapper. Supporting virtually all types of geospatial data for import, and nearly
as many formats for export, Global Mapper users can load, combine, crop, and
tile almost any data they encounter. With new and modified formats being added
on an ongoing basis, you can be sure that the software will never be out of date
with your data.  

In addition to loading data from local files of connected special databases,
streamed online data is available through Global Mapper with a wealth of
built-in direct links to many of these data services including aerial imagery,
worldwide elevation data, topographic maps, Landsat satellite imagery, land
cover data, aviation charts, and much more. Furthermore, if a local agency or
organization develops a Web Mapping Service, a custom link to this data can be
easily added to the online data source list as a custom online source.

With local, database, or online data loaded into Global Mapper, the map view
projection can be altered to reproject the data layers regardless of the data’s
native projection. With dozens of projections included in Global Mapper entire
datasets are easy to reproject and exported files are written out using the
current display projection. For advanced projection and transformation
management, Geographic Calculator can be utilized with Global Mapper providing
access to the industry leading geodetic database created and maintained the Blue
Marble’s Geographic Calculator software.

Flexible Data Visualization & Data Sharing

Docked windows supporting top-down 2D, oblique 3D, and cross-sectional data
views can be opened, resized, and organized within the Global Mapper display for
optimal viewing of any data type. When considering 3D data, configurable
color-ramp shaders can be applied to inform elevation or slope values in the 2D
or dynamic 3D views. Additionally, the 3D viewer supports the recording of HD
fly-through videos allowing users to export a visual exploration of point cloud,
elevation, draped raster data, and vector data in an easily sharable video
format.

Data can be shared in any supported geospatial format as well as through
screenshots, captured videos of 3D data, and static map layouts designed for PDF
export or printing with Global Mapper’s layout tools. Cartographic elements such
as a scale bar, compass rose, and map legend can be precisely placed within the
layout frame with supplementary text and corporate branding graphics easily
added to a map design that can be saved as a template for future use. For atlas
or map book creation, the map layout tool offers the ability to design a tiled
array of maps, in which all the pages share a consistent layout structure.

Global Mapper offers additional options for export to web tile formats creating
a series of we-ready raster tiles from the currently loaded map data. These
exports are compatible with common online map formats, such as Google and Bing
Maps. This export process also generates an accompanying html file that is used
to display the tiles within the selected format’s web interface, complete with
the common map navigation and layout tools. In a partnership with MangoMap,
users can also upload map data directly from Global Mapper to an online
Mango-hosted map site which can be easily shared with customers, colleagues, or
constituents.

Vector Data Creation, Editing, and Analysis

Along with the unrivaled ability to import existing datasets, Global Mapper
supports a wide range of digitizing tools for vector data creation. The
comprehensive set of digitizer tools provides users with standard options for
point, line, and polygon features as well as tools for creating specialized
geometric features such as range rings, grids, buffer areas, and more. An
advanced coordinate geometry tool can be employed to create objects on the map
by simply typing the geometric dimensions of each segment.

Options to edit features by line or area segment and precisely edit vertex
locations, are accompanied by whole feature adjustments such as the moving,
scaling or rotation of features on the map. Complex vector layer comparisons and
feature creation can be performed with the Spatial Operations tool, which
features Intersection, Union, Difference, and Symmetrical Difference operations,
along with numerous spatial predicates and transforms. Global Mapper has full
attribute and geometry editing capabilities rivaling any other GIS software on
the market today. Combined with scripting and batching tools, it has the
capability to automate many GIS processing tasks.

Vector feature attribute additions and manipulation can be completed manually
through a table view of attributes for a set of vector features or on a
feature-by feature basis. Attribute information can be added to vector features
in Global Mapper from nearby or overlapping features or through the
incorporation of terrain and image data to provide additional values for points,
lines, and polygons.

Raster Data Display and Analysis

Supporting flexible raster data display for geospatial raster data as well as
layers manually rectified in Global Mapper, the software includes tools to apply
visual adjustments to the data such as multi-band data layer creation, pan
sharpening, image tiling, and mosaicking. Along with standard contrast
adjustment methods for image display, histogram matching in Global Mapper allows
the color channel histograms of one layer to dictate the histogram adjustment in
others. This method along with tools for image feathering and contrast
adjustments aids the blending of data layers collected at different times or
with different equipment.

Raster calculation allows the mathematical operations to be executed on
multiband imagery or multiple data layers. Supporting a variety of built-in
formulas for NDVI, NDWI, and other common indices as well as custom formulas
using common mathematical operations and more advanced functions. Manual raster
layer editing in Global Mapper is supported by the Raster Reclassify tool which
converts pixels values in a layer based on user input rules defined by input and
output values.

Terrain Creation & Analysis

With tools for applying colorful shaders for 2D and 3D data Global Mapper’s
dynamic terrain visualization supports imported elevation data imported and TIN
layers generated from 3D vector data. Cross-sections profile views of terrain
data can be created from any existing or drawn linear feature on the map.
Profiles can be used to calculate elevation statistics and slope along a given
path and line-of-sight analysis options can be used to visualize any
obstructions that may interfere with the view along the path. Combining data
views, visualization option allows the Path Profile display to be rendered as a
terrain cutaway in the 3D View.

Terrain data can be utilized through various analysis tools to create new layers
of vector features highlighting patterns or values present in the terrain data.
Any imported or processed elevation layer can be used to generate 3D contour
lines in vector format. Options in a contour analysis include customized contour
interval spacing, polygon feature generation, and the identification of local
peaks and depressions in the loaded terrain layer. Watershed delineation
determines the likely linear path of streams and the drainage or catchment areas
of those streams. Building from the line-of-sight analysis in the profile view,
viewshed calculation identifies the covered, or hidden, areas of terrain in all
directions within a specified radius of a user-set transmitter location.
Advanced viewshed analysis options include Fresnel Zone determination, signal
strength loss over distance, and the inclusion of 3D vector features as possible
obstructions in the analysis.

Combining vector features with terrain data opens additional analysis and data
creation options with cut-and-fill volume calculations from polygon or linear
features, flattened site plan creation, and Relative Elevation Model (REM)
generation. Cut and fill calculations can be performed on 2D or 3D vector
polygon features or along a line to simulate the digging of a trench. When
working with a polygon a flat area of terrain can be created blending seamlessly
into the surrounding terrain to simulate a flattened pad or building site. The
ability to create Relative Elevation Models (REM) allows users to highlight
terrain variation in an area of interest, to help visualize smaller terrain
changes that may otherwise be hard to identify.

Workflow Optimization and Data Processing

Many functions in Global Mapper can be performed by initiating a script.
Formatted as a simple ASCII file, a script is commonly used to automate
repeating or recurring tasks, eliminating the need to manually process the data.
The Global Mapper scripting language supports importing, converting,
reprojecting, analyzing, calculating attributes, splitting layers, interactively
prompting users for files and folders, and exporting all supported data formats.

To streamline a data processing workflow, Global Mapper offers a batch
processing function that allows multiple selected files, or all compatible files
within a specified folder, to be converted, reprojected, gridded, and renamed
without rendering the data in the various viewers.

Recent Developments in Global Mapper

The version 25 release of Global Mapper Standard includes

 * Added a capability to automatically search for the optimum placement for a
   flattened site plan (based on minimum cut and fill volume) within a defined
   search area when flattening a site;
 * Ability to categorize 3D Vector features as obstructions that may impact flow
   in watershed generation, helping create a more accurate model;
 * A new, unique auto styling vector data. Any vector layer loaded or created
   without specified styling will get a random style by default to help improve
   visualization between layers;
 * Improved display behavior on high-resolution screens.

For nearly three decades, Global Mapper’s development has depended on direct
interaction with users and most of the major functional enhancements can be
clearly traced to individual requests. This unique approach to software
development has ensured that the application is continually updated and improved
