ASTER DEM - International DEMs!Description: ASTER is an imaging instrument that is flying on the TERRA satellite launched in December 1999 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). ASTER represents a revolution in the remote sensing community because of the availability of its imagery and its superior resolution. ASTER resolution ranges from 15m to 90m, depending on the wavelength. The quality of the ASTER DEM data is excellent, equivalent in resolution to USGS 30m SDTS DEM data and has free coverage for a large portion of the Globe. Available for free? Yes, ASTER DEM is freely available in the GeoTIFF (which Global Mapper reads) and HDF formats (which Global Mapper cannot read)

BSB Nautical Charts
Description: BSB charts are high resolution full color scans of nautical charts of several Hydrographic Offices and other producers.
Available for free? No.
Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
CADRG and CIB FilesDescription: CADRG and CIB files are raster formats typically used by military and other government organizations. The data is stored as RPF (Raster Product Format). To load CADRG or CIB files, simply load the a.toc file near the root of the RPF tree. CADRG and CIB data can also be loaded from .tar.gz and .zip archives. Global Mapper v6.00 and above can load files in this format. Available for free? Not usually, often is classified. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
S-57 Digital Chart FilesDescription: S-57 files are used by many hydographic agencies around the world to store vector marine chart data. To load S-57 charts in Global Mapper, simply load the .000 file or load the chart file(s) directly from a .tar.gz or .zip archive. Global Mapper v6.00 and above can load files in this format. Available for free? Yes. Web Pages and FTP Sites:
Erdas GIS FilesDescription: Erdas GIS files are used to store raster data (i.e. imagery, scanned maps). Global Mapper v6.00 and above can load files in this format. Available for free? Varies. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
NOS/GEO Chart FilesDescription: The NOS/GEO marine chart format is a raster format used for storing SoftChart marine charts. Global Mapper v6.00 and above can load files in this format. Available for free? No. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
Zmap Plus Grid FilesDescription: Zmap Plus grid files are used by Geographix applications such as IsoMap to store gridded elevation data. Global Mapper can both import and export data in this format in v6.00 and higher. Available for free? Varies. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
DBF (DBase III+) FilesDescription: DBF files are used to store tables of information. Usually they accompany an ESRI Shapefile to provide attribute information, but they can be used to store a database of point features. Global Mapper v6.04 and higher can directly import DBF files. Available for free? Varies. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
BT (Binary Terrain) Elevation Grid FilesDescription: The BT (Binary Terrain) format is a simple terrain format developed by the folks at VTerrain.org to provide an easy way to store terrain information in a single file along with projection and positioning information. Global Mapper v6.04 and higher can directly import and export this format. Available for free? Varies. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
GXF (Geosoft ASCII Grid) FilesDescription: The GXF format is an ASCII grid format for storing elevation data. This format is used by software like Geosoft's Oasis Montaj product. Global Mapper v5.08 and higher can directly import this format. Available for free? Varies. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP

Marplot MIE FilesDescription: The Marplot MIE format is an ASCII vector format used for storage by the Marplot application. Global Mapper v6.07 and higher can directly import this format. Available for free? Varies. Web Pages and FTP Sites: TOP
GPS TrackMakerDescription: The GPS TrackMaker file format is used to store user waypoints and track logs from GPS devices. These files can be loaded into Global Mapper v7.00 and above. Available for free? Yes. Web Pages and FTP Sites:
Landsat 7A FAST FormatDescription: The FAST file format is used to store Landsat7 imagery, among other things. These files can be loaded into Global Mapper v7.01 and above. Available for free? Yes. Web Pages and FTP Sites:
NTF Grid FormatDescription: The NTF (National Transfer Format) grid file format is used primarily by the UK Ordnance Survey to store gridded elevation data (i.e. DEMs) as well as vector data. Global Mapper v7.01 and above supports loading gridded elevation data from NTF files, but vector data is not yet supported. Available for free? Not usually. Web Pages and FTP Sites:
TerraScan .bin/.ts FormatDescription: The TerraScan LIDAR format is a binary format for storing 3D point data collected with LIDAR instrumentation. Global Mapper v7.02 and higher can directly import this format and view it either as a 3D surface or as an elevation-colored point cloud. Available for free? Varies. Web Pages and FTP Sites:
