GIF File Description:
Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) files
designed by CompuServe are standard raster
graphics or (256 color or 8 bit) image
formats, supported by our 3D GIS mapping
software
Global Mapper, which you can
download a Free
Trial to
use.
GIF files is
a common compression
format for transferring graphic files occasionally used to
stored scanned maps.
For Global Mapper to
load a GIF file, a world file needs to be
present for the GIF file otherwise you will
have to manually rectify the GIF image.
Our GIS
mapping 3D software Global Mapper v6.00 and above can load files
in this GIF format.
The GIF89a
file is a more recent format that supports three
page effects: interlacing, transparency, and
animation.
