Global Mapper merupakan satu perangkat lunak yang saat ini terkenal fleksibel untuk

berbagai format data baik itu dalam bentuk raster, vector maupun data ketinggian.
Operasi umum seperti konversi, edit, cetak maupun traking GPS dapat dilakukan
untuk menunjang pengolahan dalam membangaun Sistem Informasi Geografis
dengan harga terjangkau dan kemudahan dalam penggunaan user oriented!.
Global Mapper mempunyai nilai lebih lain seperti kalkulasi jarak dan luasan area,
penajaman citra, "uery ketinggian serta operasi tingkat advance
Global Mapper is more than just a vie#er capable of displaying the most popular
raster, elevation, and vector datasets. It converts, edits, prints, tracks GPS, and
allo#s you to utili$e GIS functionality on your datasets in one lo# cost and easy to
use soft#are package. %he new 6.xx release adds the ability to directly access
the entire TerraServer database of &SGS satellite imagery and topographic maps
from #ithin Global Mapper and to view elevation data in true 3D'
(our data files can be loaded as layers, for e)ample a *igital +levation Model *+M!
can be loaded #ith a scanned topographical map to create a ,* vie# of the map. -
digital aerial image can be draped on the surface together #ith vector contour
mapping to create a stunning and informative graphic. %he results can be printed, or
the #orkspace can be e)ported to a high resolution raster image for use in a
presentation or report.
.ave you ever received a dataset that does not match the projection of your current
project/ Simply load the dataset into Global Mapper, change the projection, and save
the file to match your coordinate system. If the dataset is larger than the area you
are interested in, e)port the data using the crop feature and change the projection
and format of the data at the same time.
Global Mapper is more than ust a utility0 it has built in functionality for distance
and area calculations, raster blendin! and contrast adustment, elevation
"uerying and line o" si!ht calculations as #ell as advanced capabilities like ima!e
recti"ication, contour !eneration from surface data, view shed analysis from
surface data, and triangulation and gridding of ,* point data. 1epetitive tasks can be
accomplished using the built in scripting language or comprehensive batch
conversion functionality.
