Frank, You could do that using the SDK with just a little application work on your end. The SDK can easily import the DEM (the sample app shows how to do...
Michael, I suspect that Tim is correct. Do you know what bit depth and compression were used in the original image? The default GeoTIFF export format in Global...

Most likely what you are seeing is that Global Mapper is asking you what projection the data is already in so that it can correctly place it on the earth and...
If your files include the projection information that will automatically be used and if you: select tools select configure select projection it should show you...
I use Global Mapper for work to produce maps of propective development sites showing vegetation cover. I've noticed in many instances that--even though the...
Marcus, What version of Global Mapper are you using? Starting with v5.03, the ENCLOSED_AREA attribute of area features should update when you edit an area...
I'm using v5.07... the shapes are saved as shapefiles for compatibilty with other users of the data. Is that the issue? Hopw should the shapes be saved in...
Marcus, Aha, the Shapefiles were indeed the problem. Attribute names in Shapefiles are limited to 10 characters, so the ENCLOSED_AREA attribute was getting...

Hello ! I have a bunch of small Ozi maps with the complete Nederlands. In Ozi it seems to be impossible to see this small maps (jpg + map file) as one big map....
Ken, What version of Global Mapper are you using? If you're not using the latest (v5.07), I'd first suggest downloading that from http://www.globalmapper.com,...
Luis, Currently you would have to convert your Ozi .map files into .tfw files. However, we do have plans to add direct support for Ozi .map files in an ...
Ken, Don't bother looking into the problem on your end, I believe that you have a beta version that I posted that is from after the v5.07 release. I was able...
Mike, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using v 5.08 (the one you posted with the Landsat fix / addition). I presume that v 5.08 has all of the features of v...

Is there a way to rotate the data along a central axis in GM? In other words, is it possible to make North some other angle than 0 degrees? Thanks, Frank...
Frank, There is not currently a way to rotate the main map view so that some direction other than north is up. We may add the ability to rotate the map view...
Hi folks. I see many spatial references for available DEM data that refer to 30 arc-second resolution as being equivalent to 1000-meter spacing; or 7.5...
I'll try to answer in part... If the spacing is one arc minute it is a much bigger space between points then if the spacing is 3 arc seconds, so the distance...
Hi Al; The items you mention can often get mixed up. Scale is the relationship of the paper to the ground. How much one inch (for example) represents on the...
I have a DEM (in ascii grid format) and aerial imagery in ECW format. I have overlain the aerial image on the DEM and using the texture map option created a...
