Description
For professionals working with complex geospatial data, a Global Mapper subscription provides access to a powerful collection of GIS, terrain analysis, and mapping tools within a single application.
Global Mapper is a powerful GIS and mapping application. Consequently, this software designed to make geospatial data easy to view, analyse, edit, process, and share. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for working with a wide range of 2D and 3D spatial data. Such a powerful toolkit makes Global Mapper appropriate for professionals working in numerous fields. Some of which include: surveying, mapping, engineering, environmental management, construction, mining, forestry, utilities, and other geospatial applications.

Global Mapper supports an extensive range of raster, vector, elevation, point cloud, terrain, and LiDAR data formats. Users can combine data from multiple sources within a single map, perform spatial analysis, create and edit features, generate terrain models, measure distances and areas, and produce detailed maps and visualisations.
The software excels at terrain and elevation analysis. It can work with digital elevation models (DEMs), LiDAR and point-cloud data, contours, 3D terrain, and other elevation datasets. Advanced processing tools allow users to generate contours, calculate volumes, analyse slopes and watersheds, create terrain grids, and extract useful information from complex geospatial datasets.
Global Mapper also provides extensive data conversion and processing capabilities, allowing users to transform, reproject, crop, combine, and export geospatial data for use in other GIS, CAD, surveying, and engineering applications. Its support for common coordinate systems and projections makes it practical for projects involving data from multiple sources.
Our thoughts on a Global Mapper Subscription
In summary, for users working with large or complex datasets, Global Mapper provides an excellent toolset. Given that, the software is unrivaled for efficient data management, batch processing, scripting, and automation. Therefor, the application can therefore be used for both individual mapping tasks and repeatable professional work flows. As a result, a Global Mapper subscription can support both individual mapping tasks and repeatable professional workflows.
