Quick Summary of GIS Global Mapper
3D GPS Mapping Software
|
|
 Your
data files can be loaded as layers into our powerful
Global Mapper 3D GIS mapping software, for example a
Digital Elevation Model (DEM) can be loaded with a
scanned topographical map to create a 3D sun shaded view
of the map.
A digital aerial image can be draped on the surface
together with vector contour mapping to create a
stunning and informative graphic.
The results can be printed, or the workspace can be
exported to a high resolution raster image for use in a
presentation or report.
 Have you ever received a dataset that does not match the projection of your current project?
Simply load the
dataset into our latest release Global Mapper v9.2, Check
new pricing, change the projection, and
save the file to match your coordinate system.
If the
dataset is larger than the area you are interested in,
export the data using the crop feature and change the
projection and format of the data at the same time with
our gis mapping 3d software.
Global Mapper is
more than just a utility; it
has built in functionality for distance and area
calculations, raster blending and contrast adjustment,
elevation querying and line of sight
calculations as well as advanced capabilities like image
rectification, contour generation from
surface data, view shed analysis from surface
data, and triangulation and gridding of 3D point
data.
Repetitive tasks can be accomplished using the built in
scripting language or the numerous batch conversion
options.

eXchange Format), OziExplorer WPT/PLT, ASTER DEM (HDF
and GeoTIFF formats), ASTER L1A/L1B imagery, Zmap
Plus Grids, LIDAR LAS, Marplot MIE, DHM (Swiss DEM),
MODIS imagery, NTF Grids, etc.
- Provides direct access to the complete
TerraServer satellite imagery and topographic map
archive for the entire US for free within the
application!
- Supports true 3D viewing of loaded
elevation data including draping of any loaded
imagery and vector data over the 3D surface.
- Crop, reproject, and merge any combination
of raster data, including DRGs.
- DIGITIZING SUPPORT! You can digitize new
vector (area, line, and point) features by drawing
them with the mouse. You can also edit existing
vector features. Newly created and editing features
can be saved to any of the supported export formats.
- GPS SUPPORT! You can track a compatible GPS
device connected to your computer's serial port in
real-time over any loaded data. In addition, you can
mark waypoints at the current GPS location and
record a tracklog of where your GPS device has been
while connected, all seamless with your loaded map
data!
- EXPORT SUPPORT! You can export both vector,
raster, and elevation data to a variety of formats
(see below). You can merge any combination of data
sets, regardless of source scale, type, and
projection. See below for a list of supported export
types.
- Vector Data (i.e. DLG's, Shapefiles, DXF,
etc.)
- Arc Ungenerate format
- AutoCAD DXF format
- CDF format
- CSV format
- ESRI Shapefile format
- Garmin PCX5 TRK and WPT formats
- GPX (GPS eXchange Format)
- InRoads ASCII format
- Landmark Graphics format
- Lowrance USR format
- MapGen format
- MapInfo MIF/MID format
- MatLab format
- MOSS format
- NIMA ASC format
- PLS CADD XYZ Grid file format
- Simple ASCII Text format
- Surfer BLN format
- SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) format
- Tsunami OVR format
- USGS DLG-O format
- Raster Data (i.e. DRG's, DOQ's, etc.)
- BIL/BIP/BSQ formats
- ECW format
- GeoTIFF format
- JPG format
- PNG format
- Elevation Data (i.e. DEM's, etc.)
- Arc ASCII Grid format
- BIL format
- BT (Binary Terrain) format
- DXF (3D-point, 3D-mesh, and 3D-face)
formats
- Float/Grid file format
- Geosoft Grid format
- GeoTIFF DEM format
- Gravsoft Grid format
- Leveller Heightfield file format
- MapMaker Terrain file format
- Optimi Terrain file format
- PLS CADD XYZ Grid file format
- RockWorks Grid format
- STL format
- Surfer Grid (ASCII and binary) formats
- Terragen Terrain file format
- USGS DEM format
- VRML format
- XYZ ASCII Grid format
- Zmap Plus Grid format
- IMAGE RECTIFICATION! You can graphically
rectify (georeference) any JPG, TIFF, or PNG image
and save the results to a new fully georeferenced
image.
- CONTOUR GENERATION! You can create contours
for any combination of elevation data. You can also
specify the contour interval to use. The generated
contour data can then be exported to any of the
supported vector export formats (see previous item
for a list).
- Automatic triangulation and gridding of 3D
point data sets. This allows you to convert a
set of elevation samples into a fully gridded data
set, which can then be used for contour generation,
line of sight analysis, and view shed analysis,
among other things. The data can also be exported to
any of the supported elevation grid formats, such as
USGS DEM.
- Advanced screen capture. You can capture
the contents of the screen to a BMP, JPG, PNG, or (Geo)TIFF
file of user-specified resolution.
- Batch conversion of almost any input data
data files to any compatible export type.
- Auto-clip collar for DRG's. You can now
have the collar of USGS DRG files automatically
clipped off. This allows you to seamlessly view a
collection of adjacent DRG files.
- Supports opening SDTS DLG, SDTS DEM, and most
other file types directly from .tar.gz and .zip
archives. This saves the major headache of
decompressing each SDTS transfer into a separate
directory.
- Comprehensive view shed analysis using
loaded elevation grid data from a user-specified
location, transmitter height, and radius.
- 3D Path Profiling and Line of Sight (LOS)
capabilities, including receiver/transmitter
heights, minimum clearance, and earth curvature
options.
- Advanced measurement capabilities,
including multi-segment path lengths and headings
and enclosed area.
- Supports the latest DEM and SDTS DEM formats,
including decimeter DEMs.
- Supports opening DLG-O and DEM files
directly from gzipped archives. This means that you
can save space and hassle by not having to
decompress the data after you download it.
- Slide over text. When you move your cursor
around the screen you'll get a description of the
nearest feature automatically displayed in the
status bar.
- Supports keyboard navigation. You can pan
about with the arrow keys and zoom in/out with the
page up/page down keys.
- Search, edit and load vector data by name,
attribute value or description.
- And much more!
