Offering a comprehensive assortment of data visualization, processing, and analysis tools, Global Mapper is redefining the very nature of GIS by dismantling the cost and usability barriers inherent in traditional GIS applications. Each successive release introduces an extensive array of new functionality and in the case of version 20, the list of new and upgraded functionality exceeds 200 individual items.
Among the highlights of this release are a powerful new function for creating a point cloud from a 3D model or mesh. This innovative tool allows the user to edit and process the point cloud to remove anomalies or filter unwanted features. Version 20 also sees the introduction of a free-flight visualization option in the 3D View providing a first-person game-like perspective when moving through the 3D environment. A new eyedropper tool has been added, significantly improving the process of selecting a color for transparency assignment or vector extraction.
The version 20 release also sees a number of improvements to the optional LiDAR Module. A point cloud can now be spatially thinned to reduce file size and remove redundancy. Expanding on the mesh creation capably introduced in the Pixels-to-Points tool, there is now a tool for creating a 3D model from selected LiDAR points and to automatically extract buildings as a 3D model.
