Now in its third decade of development, Global Mapper continues to cause a stir in the worldwide geospatial community. From its humble beginnings as a simple data viewing utility, it has evolved into a major player in the GIS software industry boasting an unrivaled collection of data creating, editing, rendering, and analysis tools at an affordable price, right out of the box. Global Mapper 64 bit is helping to expand access to GIS technology by dismantling the cost and usability barriers inherent in traditional GIS applications.



Equally well suited as a standalone spatial data management tool and as an integral component of an enterprise-wide GIS, The program is a must-have for anyone who works with maps or spatial data. The app is more than just a utility; it offers a surprisingly extensive collection of analysis and data processing tools in a truly affordable package. Providing support for virtually every known spatial file format as well as direct access to common spatial databases, this remarkable application can read, write, and analyze virtually all spatial data.

Global Mapper's intuitive user interface and logical layout help smooth the learning curve and ensures that users will be up-and-running in no time. Companies and organizations of any size will quickly see a significant return on investment brought about by efficient data processing, accurate map creation, and optimized spatial data management.

With a particular emphasis on terrain and 3D data processing, Global Mapper's out-of-the-box analysis functions include view shed and line-of site modeling, watershed delineation, volume measurement, and cut and fill optimization, raster calculation, customized gridding, and terrain creation, contour generation, and much more. Complementing this core functionality, the optional LiDAR Module provides a wide array of point cloud processing tools including automatic point classification, feature extraction, and the powerful Pixels-to-Points tool for photogrammetric point cloud creation.

Complementing these powerful analysis tools is the Mapper includes a complete suite of raster and vector data creation and editing functions offering everything from simple and intuitive drawing to image rectification and vectorization. The software also includes numerous attribute editing functions as well as intuitive data display and thematic mapping capabilities.

When the time comes to share map data, It offers numerous options including eye-catching page layout and printing tools, geospatial PDF creation, and direct web publishing to MangoMap, an affordable and easy-to-use online map service.
