Global Mapper
A versatile GIS-software for your geo data
Global Mapper is a tool for converting, editing and displaying large amounts of grid and vector data, especially for the extensive survey data from airborne laser scanning. For many years now, Global Mapper has proven its worth at our company and at our customers. It stands out due to its functionality for management and visualization as well as an economic price!
Functionality
The provided GIS-features help the user to simply and orderly edit and analyse their geo data. The data is loaded in single layers, which can be combined, saved and printed in all desired ways (e.g. a digital terrain model (DTM) + aerial image + contour lines as a combined image)
Global Mapper can work with all kinds of georeferenced data and provides the following features:
- displaying georeferenced data in 2D and 3D
- new computation of map projection (reprojection)
- distance and area calculations
- cross sections and sectional views of 3D data
- various display options of elevation data (e.g. shaded, coloured)
- triangulation and gridding of 3D point data
- generation of contour lines and elevation surfaces
- georeferencing of images (e.g. aerial images)
- images optimization (auto contrast),
- displaying GPS data
- combination of different data files (seamless display & combination data)
- converting point-coordinates
- a large number of import and export formats
