Let me know if you any problems or questions. September edited September Hi Mike, Does this version exe install over an exsisting Greetings, Stefan PS including v13 new build notifications with teh v12 new build notifications would be handy Yes this will update an existing v13 beta installer. It is a full installer too, not just a patch build.
The v13 and v12 builds are updated independently and only a small fraction of users are on v13 yet, so the announcements are separate. Typically new special builds are in response to a particular issue in a particular version. Thanks, Mike Global Mapper Support support globalmapper. Mike, I've been playing with v Are there any plan to improve the slope analysis features? For instance, it would be helpful to be able to show a wider range of slopes rather than just a min and max We sometimes need to show 3 of 4 different slope categories.
Also, while I am wishing. I would love it if I could export the slope analysis as a vector file. I have tried the slope "cut off" line method in the past, it really doesn't work. If it were possible to export, exactly what I see when using the slope shader, that would be a major time saver. There aren't any plans to improve the slope feature right now, but we could add some in the future. Then, load the new file back in and your slopes will now be gridded and treated as elevation, so you can then apply any custom shader that you want to them.
These views, which support both top-down 2D rendering as well as oblique 3D viewing, can be independently zoomed and panned and can be resized to make the most efficient use of the available screen space.
As well as the standard point, line and area creating functions, there are also tools for creating specialized geometric features such as range rings, grids, and buffer areas. Advanced coordinate geometry input can be employed to create objects on the map by simply typing the geometric dimensions of each segment.
Editing functions include rotating, scaling, and moving features on the map. Modifications can be applied to entire features or to individual vertices that determine the shape and size of a feature. Global Mapper has full attribute and geometry editing capabilities rivaling any other GIS software on the market today.
Combined with scripting and batching tools, it has the capability to automate many GIS processing tasks. Global Mapper offers limitless possibilities for assigning specific visual characteristics to vector features on the map. Pre-installed or custom symbols can be attributed to points; multiple line styles and weights can be applied to linear features, and solid or patterned fill shading can be assigned to area features. The appearance of features in Global Mapper is usually controlled by the style that has been established for each feature type, but the style can also reflect an attribute of the data allowing for the creation of thematic maps.
Global Mapper includes several powerful terrain analysis tools that are used to process or model elevation data. These functions are included as part of the standard installation and require no additional extensions or plug-in components.
Global Mapper is optimized to work with 3D data. It supports many 3D formats including elevation or terrain models as well as 3D mesh formats such as Collada, Wavefront, 3DS Max and more. When working with terrain layers, several preconfigured shaders are available as well as the ability to create custom shaders. The software includes a powerful 3D Viewer which can be docked and linked to the 2D map so panning, zooming, and adding vector features will automatically replicate in both windows.
This powerful functionality also includes the ability to select and measure features in the 3D viewer. The fly-through tool and also be used to playback a video file synced to any line feature with per-vertex times. The 3D window also allows draping of vector data over imagery, GPS tracking, Skyboxes for rendering a sky simulation in 3D and display and manipulation of 3D meshes such as sketch-up.
There are tools for selecting and editing 3D features and working with the 3D window, 2D window and the path profile in a docked set up enables complex analysis and 3D data manipulation.
Global Mapper is the perfect application for visualizing, editing, and analyzing Lidar or point cloud data of any format. Out of the box, the software supports point clouds of virtually any size and offers tools to utilize this data efficiently and effectively.
Recent developments in the application have dramatically improved the rendering and processing speeds, which is especially important when working with the high-density point clouds that are becoming increasingly common. Global Mapper provides access to the attributes of the point cloud file offering a snapshot of the critical information that is essential for any data processing workflow.
A standard function of Global Mapper is its ability to import virtually any image file and to create a geographically aligned and scaled raster layer.
The image rectification process supports the manual input of image pixel and corresponding ground control coordinates or the simple tagging of recognizable points on the image as well as the corresponding locations on a base map layer. Advanced options allow the selection of the rectification method, resampling scheme, and ground control projection parameters.
The resulting raster layer can be analyzed and processed just like any other imported layer and can be exported in any one of the supported raster formats. Global Mapper includes a powerful geocoding function that allows real-world coordinates to be assigned to an imported database of addresses.
The geocoding process can use either a preconfigured online service or a user-imported road network to accurately determine the point that represents the location of each address. If necessary, this data, including the coordinate values, can be exported in tabular form or plotted on the map to provide a visual perspective. The Raster Calculator found under the Analysis menu is used to set up mathematical operations on multi-band imagery to extract different types of information.
Users can use predefined formulas, like NDVI and NDWI, or create their own free-hand formulas using common mathematical operations, like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and powers, as well as simple operators like absolute value, minimum value, and maximum value of 2 values. The Graph and Chart Manager allows the user to create graphs and charts from loaded data. The following type of operations are supported:. The software has an extremely powerful export menu guiding the user with a flexible selection interface for everything from translucency to feature descriptions to the encoding of zip files.
Users can display labels or not, highlight cursors, manipulate the export of 3D feature types, and much more including tiling options. With a compatible GPS receiver attached to the computer, Global Mapper will display the location in real-time superimposed on the current map or data layer.
Movement can be tracked or recorded, and waypoints can be created as time-stamped vector features. Many functions in Global Mapper can be performed by initiating a script. Formatted as a simple ASCII file, a script is commonly used to automate repeating or recurring tasks, eliminating the need to manually process the data. The Global Mapper scripting language supports importing, converting, reprojecting, analyzing, calculating attributes, splitting layers, interactively prompting users for files and folders and exporting all supported data formats.
Examples of the use of extensions include extended format support, enhanced visualization options, or new toolbar buttons. An extension can also be used to provide an interface between Global Mapper and a third-party application.

Access to Online Data. OTF Reader Module. Flexible View Interface. Feature Rendering. Terrain Analysis. These profiles can be used to calculate a variety of statistics related to the elevation and slope along the path. Additionally, line of sight calculation can be used to visualize any obstructions that may interfere with the view along the profile path.
This is especially useful for the analysis of a radio or broadcast signal. A visualization option allows the Path Profile display to be rendered as a terrain cutaway in the 3D View.
View Shed Calculation Similar to the line of sight calculation, the viewshed analysis tool is typically used to determine the area covered, or not covered, from a broadcast site with a specified transmitter height.
The viewshed analysis determines the coverage in all directions within a specified radius from the signal source. Advanced options include Fresnel Zone determination and signal strength loss over distance. Watershed Delineation Based on the terrain morphology, the watershed calculation tool determines the likely linear path of streams and the drainage or catchment areas of those streams.
This tool can also be used to conduct water drop analysis, in which the theoretical flow pattern from a defined source can be mapped.
